New Years Resolutions: How To Handle Joe Buck, Rex, A-Rod, Mariano & More
NEW YORK, NY – According to the Mayans, it’s almost the year that will be the last year ever. I know Mets fans would be happy if the world ended. That might be the only way to keep the team from sucking. But before the end of the world, we have to first get through [...]
Holiday Wishes: What Jeter, Rex, A-Rod & Wright Want From Santa
New York, NY – We are just over a week away from Christmas and I know I’m ready for the festivities, the booze, the merriment, the cookies, the lights, the over-eating, and, of course, the booze. A few weeks ago I sent my letter to the jolly fat man at the North Pole. I asked [...]
Stone Cold Weekend Predictions
New York, NY – I don’t have much to say about anything that has gone on this week because I really haven’t been paying attention. I do know that this Sandusky thing keeps getting more disturbing. I know that hippies are still protesting about something and I know that the Jets and Broncos tried to [...]
THE YANKEES’ CALL TO ARMS
New York, NY – For those of you tuning in looking for Cookie’s Corner and her hard-hitting celebrity and sports gossip, I’m sorry to disappoint you.

BOSTON SUCKS AFTER ALL!!!!
CHOKESTOWN, USA – If you’ve been sleeping under a rock for the past two days, or just generally not paying attention to sports, you’ve missed the most interesting day of regular season baseball ever. The Braves blew a massive lead in the NL Wild Card race and let the Cardinals sneak into the playoffs And [...]
CLOSING TIME: MARIANO CLOSES IN, METS CLOSING UP
THE Bronx, NY – We’ve had a stellar week of columns so far and I’ve been charged with closing out this winning work week here in MeettheMattsland. Short Matt even struck out the side with his Johnson and Johnson interview yesterday. Lets hope I don’t blow it.
A.J.’S MALAISE: LONG CON OF LONG GRIFT
BRONX, NY – Entering the sixth month of the third year of a horrible contract, A.J. Burnett seems to be doing whatever he can to earn an early retirement. Last night’s decent performance aside, Burnett has been terrible since putting his Herbie Hancock on a five year, $82 mil contract with the Bombers a few [...]

Surprise: Rangers are Good, Jets and Giants are Not.
Surprise City – We are more than a quarter of the way through the NHL season and the Rangers definitely do not suck. Going into this season, I thought the Blueshirts would be fighting for the wooden spoon in the East. Instead they are in second place in the Atlantic Division with a few games [...]
