If I could choose to eliminate one statistic from all of baseball, I’d choose a pitcher’s wins total gleefully. There may be other popular statistics that are also misleading, such as RBI or runs, but no statistic is as egregious an offender, no statistic is leaned upon so heavily for misinformation, as a pitcher’s number [...]
-The Payroll would be 300 million
-Billy Martin would be managing the team via seance
-Mo would pitch every day
-Brian Cashman would be fired and replaced with Randy Levine
-Freddy Garcia would have been DFA’d after his June 7th outing against the Red Sox
-The Yanks would [...]

Maybe the grass isn’t always greener on the other side? While Yankees’ fans have been lamenting the historically poor performance of , Red Sox Nation has been home to an even bigger bust, both in terms of performance on the field [...]

This inspired me to take a break from my usual beat of prospects, parentheticals, and rhetorical questions. Not surprisingly, several guys on this list spent time in a Yankee uniform at some point. I thought [...]
Though offense is down league-wide and has been trending in that direction for the past two seasons, it doesn’t change the fact that, for all the concern about Yankee pitching heading into the 2011 campaign, the staff has actually acquitted itself quite well through the season’s first 71 games.
While ERA is mostly an [...]
Admittedly I am a bit unhealthily obsessed with how the Red Sox are performing at any point throughout a given season (something I’d imagine a good number of Yankee fans can also lay claim to). Even though it’s only June, I can’t help but keep tabs on how the Yankees’ rivals to the north are [...]
Prior to Friday night’s seventh inning [inert expletive here] meltdown, Tweets condoning retaliatory pitches were running rampant. Tensions were already high after the Ortiz Bat Flip Incident. Fan frustration was further exasperated by who managed to plunk in the bottom of very first inning. Before most of [...]
