The New York Yankees win their 27th World Championship. The Bronx is back and bombing, baby!
Someone on the Philadelphia Phillies or the New York Yankees could be Mr. November…
Part of baseball is the margin of error brought on by the human error of the human officials. Friday night’s Twins at Yankees ALDS playoff game was dominated by calls so bad that it was only fair to assume the umpires were on a kamikaze mission to kill the game and their careers in the process.
What other team evokes such strong feelings of love and hate? The New York Yankees provide intensity and passion for both fans and foes.
Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz are reported to be on “the list” of the Major League baseball players that tested positive for performance enhancing drugs is 2003.
After a field trip (ha!) to the new casa de los Mets, I share my notes from a ballpark that had zero chance of disappointing, compared to its previous venue.
This season the New York Yankees are 0-7 versus the rival Boston Red Sox. Painful, yes. Discouraging, yes. Obnoxious, yes. Upsetting, yes. Apocalyptic? No.
Randy Johnson (once nicknamed the Big Unit by his favorite prostitute - you figure it out) picked up career victory number 299 Wednesday night. He is now just one win shy of becoming only the 24th pitcher in major league history to reach 300 wins.
“I don’t know what it’s going to be like,” Johnson said. “I’m just grateful I’m in this position. It’s been a lot of hard work… I just like going out there and pitching and doing well.”
The Big Unit, whose career spans 22 years on 37 different teams (he plays for Wichita now, right?), will have his first crack at 300 next Wednesday against Washington.
In a related story, Johnson is still a very ugly man.
