Two Most Important Players In New York Baseball
SPANISH HARLEM – You know the cliche, “Great pitching always beats great hitting” and so this is where this article begins and ends. The New York Yankees and Mets have their eyes on not only being competitive but on winning it all. That is, of course, when and if the season ends. Nothing will be […]
Should the Yankees Sign Dallas Keuchel?
SPANISH HARLEM – It’s late and I’m tired because I just finished watching the Toronto Raptors beat the Golden State Warriors in game 3 of the NBA Finals but I’ll leave basketball alone this week. I want to talk about Dallas Keuchel, his name has been heard a lot lately with the New York Media. […]
A Different Look: Mo and Moose join Halladay and Edgar in MLB Hall of Fame
This isn’t to say that no player before deserved an unanimous decision, but rather that the voters have been petulant jackasses for over 80 years.
Angry Ward Wednesday: The Mets are Going For It and Will Fail Miserably
BRONX, NY – I really don’t know what to write for this site anymore. If I write about football, I know my brother (who reads but never comments) will check out, because he’s no big football fan. I can’t write about hockey, because we have people on this site that know a whole lot more about […]
Rain Man Rants: Redskins Cheerleader Scandal, Matt Harvey, NHL Playoffs
EL BARRIO, EL FALLS – This has been a busy but up and down week. Decent weather for a couple of days – for Buffalo – then bad for the last few. With no NFL Draft, there was some silence about what to do here. The sports world though always provide, though, and as such I […]
2018 Top Five MLB Questions Answered: Wright, Stanton, Bumgarner, Harper, Longoria
NEW YORK, NY – The literal and figurative Hot Stoves are working overtime this week, especially in the northeast’s bomb cyclone areas. With Spring Training but 3 fortnights away, MLB GMs are calling texting (see this) each other with hypothetical deals and promising propositions (Sandy Alderson aside, of course), that have us fans on the […]
Bad Fielding MLB Pitchers To Blame For Concussions? Cam James Reports
DENVER, CO – Recently, my good colleague Cheesy Bruin opened a post talking about player safety after last week’s incident during the Cardinals game wherein Robbie Ray got plunked in the head by a serious line drive off the bat of Luke Voit. Cheesy proposed that technology can fix this. I cry foul. Technology hasn’t […]
Angry Ward Wednesday: No Column, But Free Booze! And Power Play Girls
BRONX, NY – To me, there’s nothing all that compelling to write about. Ben Whitney handled the Mets and Yanks current status earlier today. The NHL playoffs died for me after the Caps/Pens series ended. Seriously, who cares about Nashville, Anaheim or Ottawa? And no one outside of Western Pennsylvania can want to see the Penguins […]
Baseball P*ssies Jake Arrieta & Joe Maddon: Bryce Harper Ain’t Barry Bonds
WHITEFISH, MT – My all out effort to knock Genius Joe Maddon down a couple of couple of pegs seems to be losing steam. Particularly after his Cubs just finished a 4-game sweep of the Washington Nationals. At 24-6, the Cubs own baseball’s best record. The White Sox in the very same city, have 22 […]
Deja Vu All Over Again For Mets Closer, Fans
BLOOMINGBURG, NY – I’m back from vacation and so is baseball, after the Covid-induced lay-off of all things sporty. It’s simply unbelievable that even in a pandemic, the more things change the more they stay the same. Why am I speaking in code? The New York Freaking Mets is why. Sitting in Brigantine on Friday […]
