EL BARRIO, EL FALLS: I can’t tell you guys how hard I had to work to come up with these topics today. The first one was easy but the final two had me really searching. I always wanted to do an Angry Ward and talk about movies or something else but I decided to persevere […]
Nike’s Kaep Ad, Shohei Ohtani and Steve Lopez
EL BARRIO, EL FALLS – It seems like without our fearless leader, Short Matt around as he out the country, MtM staff has turned into Lord of the Flies. Ward is currently holding the Conk Shell and I am trying not to become Piggy. So to avoid Ward going up a third time this week […]
Way, Way, Way Too Early Hall of Fame Argument: Shohei Ohtani
DENVER, CO – This morning, my suddenly unemployed self found the time to watch the Testosterone Soap Opera that is ESPN. The level to which that network has sunk is an article in and of itself, but the takeaway for me this morning was that no postulation, however absurd, is out of the question in […]
Trae Young To The Knicks, Revisiting Ohtani Vs Stanton
SPANISH HARLEM – Whoever loves the snow is having a great time today but for some of us, the spring weather can’t come any sooner. Baseball is right around the corner and nothing says baseball more than snow on the field in New York. Today I will look at the possibility of Trae Young becoming […]
Yanks Make Moves, Knicks Fans Rejoice, Porzingis, Cashman and Stanton Roll

Big Ben Tuesday: Cashman and Double-Agent Jeter Collude in Giancarlo Stanton Christmas Miracle
SANTA’S WORKSHOP, NORTH POLE – It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christ-mas. The Yankees did some early shopping and reeled in the biggest fish, Giancarlo Stanton. And man, does he look sharp in pinstripes. The cacophony of whining that followed was like snack time at nursery school. The Empire Rises Deep in the bowels […]
NFL Hits, Shohei Ohtani And Save Water, Drink Beer!
EL BARRIO, EL FALLS – I got more notice this week than I did last week. However, I have been back to doing some serious work for our sister site, rugbywrap.com. By the way, isn’t it sexist to say sister site and not sibling site? Anyway lets get to the another wonderful piece by me, using […]
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. It’s still weird seeing someone other then Joe Girardi as Yankees manager, but I have been here before when the Bombers moved on from Joe Torre. We’ll talk about that and I will also bash Shohei Ohtani for […]
Big Ben Whitney: NFL Quick Hitters and the Japanese Babe Ruth
Stamford, CT: Don’t bogart that thing bro, (do people still say “bogart,” it’s been a while?), it’s time for more NFL Quick Hitters. I’ll check in on our local teams and the AFC West, suddenly the worst division in the league. I’m also looking eastward, anticipating the arrival of the “Japanese Babe Ruth.” Big Blue Turd […]
Big Ben Whitney: Yankees Break the Long Ball Record, Andujar MVP over Ohtani
BRONX, NJ – It was a satisfying final regular season weekend in Boston, as the New York Yankees locked up home field in the wildcard game, got to 100 wins, and broke the single season team HR record. Giancarlo Stanton got to 100 RBIs and Miguel Andujar broke Joe DiMaggio’s rookie doubles record. Even though they […]
