Brian Cashman... stop making public statements

It's not been a good off season for Brian Cashman, but I already covered that.But while it is humiliating to see plan A, B and C go up in smoke, there is only so much control he has over other people's decisions.He can throw lots and lots of money at players. If they want to take less money, he has no control over that.But do you know what he DOES have control over? Making public statements.You

Say what you want about New York fans... they don't burn stuff

I know it is chic to trash New Yorkers and their fans... and Lord knows as a Red Sox fan, I get trash from them and I throw it right back.But let's tip our caps to them for a minute.They don't burn stuff when their teams win.I've lived in Los Angeles County for three years and the Lakers have won 2 NBA titles since then. Both times, people turn over cars and burn stuff.When the Red Sox won the AL

Hey Yankee fans... the Rangers MASCOT is mocking you

Are you going to TAKE THAT?(Savor this feeling, Rangers fans. If it is 1/3 as awesome as 2004, then it is sweet indeed.)

Yankee haters... give them 24 hours. Yankee fans... expect to get it BADLY

I urge my fellow Yankee haters to not taunt Yankee fans tonight. In fact give them 24 hours to grieve.Out of courtesy.Out of dignity.Unless of course if you are a Texas Rangers fan.Then by all means let loose. But you must also supply a photograph of you wearing a Texas Rangers hat PRIOR to 2010.Preferably a picture of you with some classic Rangers player. Maybe with Ruben Sierra or Rusty

I am a petty little person

My team is out of the playoffs but I am getting great joy in rooting for the Giants, my dad's team.But I am getting another perverse pleasure that I am not proud of... but I admit is there. It is always fun to not only see the Yankees lose, but to read the abject panic that happens in Yankee land by way of the New York press.It's truly difficult to understand what the New York media or any

Wins and Losses can be unfair

Well there is no doubting who WON the game tonight. Heck, when the announcers start bringing up Sandy Koufax in their comparisons with Cliff Lee, you know you are in good company.But Andy Pettitte pitched a GREAT game tonight. He deserved better.I mean he threw 7 solid innings, let up 2 runs, all in the first inning.Technically he lost the game... but let's get down to brass tacks. The Yankees

What if Thurman had lived?

On August 2, 1979, I was in the front yard of our home doing what I did on most summer days... playing whiffle ball with my brother Ted. My dad came out and told me that Thurman Munson had died in a plane crash.The 7 year old version of me took a moment to process this information. I remember the first question I asked was "Will he be buried in Cooperstown?"I don't know why that seemed important

Sully Baseball Honors Freddy Sez

This has been a rough year for Yankee mainstays.Bob Sheppard passed away.The Boss, George Steinbrenner is gone.And now the Freddie Sez guy is no longer with us.For those of you who don't know who he was, Freddy Schuman was a die hard Yankee fan who was at just about every Yankee game there was.(He was at all of them that I went to, and I went to a lot.)And for those of you too young to remember,

Girardi is not so dumb now, is he?

When the Yankees and Rays were going down the stretch, there were a lot of Yankee fans killing Joe Girardi for not playing all of his veterans in every game. "They HAVE to win the Division!" was the rallying cry.I heard one person KILLING Girardi for not using Mariano Rivera in both games of a double header in the last meaningless weekend of the series.The Rays won the Division... the Yankees are
