Big Ben Tuesday: Aaron Boone Goes F**king Savage on Rookie Ump
Roswell, New Mexico: We’re only about a month and a half away from “Raid Area 51” on September 20th and my bags are backed. But as the originator is now talking about turning it into a music festival, I don’t think he’s the right person to lead this raid. I’d like to suggest an alternative; […]
Yankees Lacking Leadership? Hockey Rangers Double Down on Rebuild.
NEW YORK, NY – The Yankees are not looking good right now. A lack of focus has led to silly mistakes. An ugly game Wednesday afternoon was followed by an even uglier game last night in Boston. They look lazy. All of the above begs the question: Are The Yankees Lacking Leadership? Aaron Boone was hired […]
Yankees Spring Training: Five Things to Watch
SPANISH HARLEM – Baseball is in the air, Pitchers and Catchers reported for Spring Training this week which means… all is well in my world. Last year was a great year for New York Yankees fans, sure they didn’t win a World Series but they proved that they were ready to take the next step. […]
Yankees News, Shohei Ohtani Rejects NYC, Aaron Boone Finally Meets Press
SPANISH HARLEM – Aaron Boone was finally introduced as the new manager of the New York Yankees.

Are The Yankees Clueless?
SPANISH HARLEM, NY – I been thinking about this ever since the New York Yankees let Joe Girardi go. Who exactly do the Yankees have in mind to lead this team? Is it Rob Thompson or is it Eric Wedge? No, maybe its Aaron Boone or David Cone or John Flaherty, who are also rumored. I’m […]
Week That Was: Eagles Deadline Trade, Porzingis Erupts, Thoughts on the Yankees Manager

Yankees Panic: Wacky List of Joe Girardi Replacements, Roger, Goose, Hillman, Deion, Keith
DENVER, CO – From the moment I heard The Cashman cashed out Joe G, all I could thing about were the litany of suitable replacements on the market. There are former player options (Jay Bell, David Cone), current coach options (Al Pedrique, Rob Thompson), coaches from other teams (John Farrell, Mike Matheny) and maybe even […]
The Week That Was: Yankees, Eagles and Knicks
The week that was has not been good to me. The New York Yankees lost in the ALCS and though the Philadelphia Eagles won on Monday, they lost two key players in Jordan Hicks and Jason Peters for the season. To matters worse the New York Knicks are 0-3… I knew the Knicks would be […]

Bronx, NY: The New York Yankees vs the Houston Astros in Game 3, as it happened. With their backs against the wall, it’s a must-win for the Yanks. Let’s get to it. 7:15: The wife is out and but I somehow manage to get my twin ten month old girls down without much of a fight. And […]

CHELSEA, NYC – Working on the set of a popular major network cop show last night as a Special Effects guy making smoke and wetting down W27th Street, made keeping up with the MLB Wild Card hunt a tad difficult.
