Growing up, you dropped the name “Ken Griffey Jr” at the lunch table, and all the 4th graders recognized you’re a ball-knower. You’d fall asleep to his highlights replaying on Sportscenter all night long on a loop. I always knew where my Ken Griffey Jr baseball card was—at all times. They claimed no one had […]
On Saturday afternoon, the New York Yankees turned the Milwaukee Brewers into the Milwaukee sewers—pissing all over them in a 20-9 beatdown—to the point where I was genuinely concerned Milwaukee may still believe these are just Spring Training scrimmages. The Yankees started the game hitting 3 consecutive home runs off the first 3 pitches. It […]
It wasn’t that long ago I was HYPED for the Yankees 2025 pitching rotation. They signed 2-time All-Star and World Series Champ, Max Fried, to an 8-year, $218 million deal. The Yankees had such a great rotation, they were letting Marcus Stroman’s phone calls go right to voicemail. That’s over. Pitchers and catchers reported like, […]
After decades of tyranny against male expression and individuality to manufacture some antiquated depiction of “class” and “professionalism”, the New York Yankees have finally ended their fascist policy against beards, allowing their players to now grow facial hair. High-ranking Yankees officials, including owner Hal Steinbrenner, spoke with a number of players and former players […]
Recently, Alex Bregman signed with the Boston Red Sox. Both the Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs offered Bregman the same contract but refused to defer the money—like every other top ball club does now—while telling their fans that they are struggling to break even. Cubs Jed Hoyer said he had manny, many emails and […]
Recently, the Boston Red Sox signed 2-time All-Star third baseman, Alex Bregman to a 3-year, $120 million deal with opt-out options after every season. Boston may have to exercise those options early as they already have a third baseman who they gave an 11-year, $330 million contract to in 2023 and who has no plans […]
Mariano Rivera may be the greatest pitcher of all time. I know he only pitched one inning a night but every pitch he threw landed in a mitt. You could not score runs against this alien. The New York Yankees don’t win all those championships without Mariano making professional hitters look like me in the […]
The 2024-25 NBA season started with the Boston Celtics blowing out the New York Knicks 132-109, tying the record for the most made 3’s in a game and creating the avalanche of indolent, concern-trolling about TV ratings and the NBA product being watered down by too many perimeter shot attempts. The NBA is fine but […]
As a Yankees fan, I’m conflicted. On one hand, I should be celebrating the arrival of Cody Bellinger. After missing out on Juan Soto thanks to an overzealous security guard cosplaying as Ethan Kopech from the new Netflix movie, Carry-On, the Yankees managed to take the billion dollars meant for Soto’s wallet and distribute it […]
Over the weekend, my wife and I were harassed by my wife’s boyfriend who could not leave me alone about Juan Soto choosing to take the New York Mets blood money over re-joining the most prestigious organization in professional sports and electing not to create a legacy for himself and his ancestors. Mets fans are […]
The Juan Soto decision is in. BREAKING: Superstar outfielder Juan Soto and the New York Mets are in agreement on a 15-year, $765 million contract, sources tell ESPN. It is the largest deal in professional sports history. — Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) December 9, 2024 Juan Soto will be moving to Queens for the next 15 […]
Luis Severino came into the offseason with a problem. At 30 years old, he went into last season with the New York Mets giving him a chance to prove he can still pitch at a high level. He changed the way he pitched, leaning more on early groundball outs instead of trying to overpower hitters […]
Today, reports are suggesting that Juan Soto contract talks have exceeded the $600 million range as the Yankees, Red Sox, Mets, Dodgers and Blue Jays continue to fight over the 26-year-old 4-time MLB All-Star. But Soto has yet to make his decision. Here’s what his agent Scott Boras, because of course his agent is Scott […]
I loved Aubrey Huff growing up. Maybe it’s because I played MVP Baseball, using franchise mode to turn the worst organization into World Series juggernauts and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays suuuuuucked. But yea, shout out my dudes Rocco Baldelli, Carl Crawford and Aubrey Huff—much love to Johnny Gomes and Scott Kazmir. I know Aubrey […]
For whatever reason, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred had dedicated his life to destroying the game of baseball. But that reign of terror may have gone too far. In a recent podcast appearance, Rob Manfred, tip-toed around a new idea the owners have apparently been tossing around behind closed doors. The Golden At-Bat. “There are a […]
Aaron Judge almost won the Triple Crown this season. He finished 1st in homers (58), 1st in RBIs (144) and 3rd in batting average (.322). He also led all of baseball in on-base percentage, slugging, OPS, OPS+ and wRC+. And all of this was a season after he won the MVP and set a new […]
