The pitchers duel Ragans vs Rodon
Last night the Yankees played the Royals for the second time in the playoff game series and lost. Epically. Rodon started off strong, and it reminded me of when you start to really like a guy, your emotions are high and so are your standards for him. Then you get to know him, and reality […]
How seeds work in baseball
Seed? No, not a mustard seed. I’m not even sure how seed became a thing in baseball. But I will explore this now. So many changes in baseball. No more wild card. 12 teams make the playoffs, which means 6 from each league. If you’re not first your last, therefore….the number 1 seed = the […]
3 reasons why Yankees shouldn’t be allowed to have facial hair
Would it even be New York if it wasn’t for the controversy. Anything that leads to people hating us gives me a thrill unlike any other. 2. They can have mustaches, what more do you want? 3. Honor the pinstripes what’s interesting to me is no one ever complains about firefighters not being able to […]
Gerrit Cole out on elbow injury
There’s no replacing Garrit Cole as he’s taking some time for his elbow as it’s not bouncing back quite as well as it used to. Maybe it’s because he’s a powerhouse on the mound, being Mr. Reliable or because he does a tremendous amount of wagging of his finger. Either way, the Yankees weren’t able […]
The Phillies fire October & Bryce Harper’s birthday bash
Bryce Harper is out for blood & that six figure bonus check. The now 31 year old made his wishes come true the other night with hitting a homerun on his birthday during a playoff game. “That’s always been a dream of mine, to play on my birthday”, he said. As he touched home plate […]
the butterfly effect of undeserved kindness
this has been coming up frequently over the last couple of days. this thing is called undeserved kindness. In college, I heard a Psychology professor say that it’s not in our human nature to be kind because we had to fend for ourselves back in the cave and if we were too nice we wouldn’t […]

The Astros get swept by the Yankees for the first time since 2013
Hallelujah! The Yanks finally won a series against the Astros. “I know it’s only been 3 days, but I have never seen this kid without a smile on his face,” an announcer said on Dominguez, what’s not to smile about when your MLB debut is record-breaking? I’d say this kid is going places, but it’s […]
How many games have the Yankees lost in a row? At least they made History in 2023
As a New York fan, now is not a fun time to watch baseball. Last night, I started watching the Yanks play the Rays, and after realizing they weren’t really trying to win, I switched the game to see the Marlins. I was less disappointed. Just mere months ago, Cashman begged fans to not give […]
