Is there some stipulation in the rules that fan interference rules don’t apply when the Yankees are batting or something? And do you really have to try to give them a second fake homer in an inning? UPDATE: I agree with commenters that, at least, the call was defensible, although I think his glove was […]

Can anyone explain why Washington would use Feliz to mop up an 8-0 game, but not with the game on the line in Game 1? Meanwhile, a comparison while waiting to ponder if Girardi will actually pitch Bur
The fact that Yank uberhack Michael “Bubba Crosby is the fastest man in baseball!” Kay is preemptively accusing Lee of cheating has to be a good sign… Share
While I try to figure out why TBS was showing a replay of Game 5 of the 1977 ALCS tonight, I thought this quote might be relevant: Tony, when you get into the playoffs this year [sic], tone down the aggressive baserunning a little bit. Aggressive baserunning does not work against a good team… […] […]
You know the Yankees are a great team when they can have the greatest pitcher athlete in Yankee known human history pitching long relief! …well, my praise of the Ranger bullpen certainly was pre
Um, could someone else please win the AL Central next year? I think we’ve seen enough of this. It being fairly obvious early on that the Twinkies had no intention of competing or anything, I dec

Obviously, Hunter Wendelstedt is a nepotism hire who has no business umpiring in the major leagues, let alone being behind the plate in a crucial playoff game. I’m glad that many prominent sportswriters are pointing this out, […]
The Twins gag up a lead against the Yankees — who saw that coming? Meanwhile, for those of you who missed this thread, a handy summary: Share
Phillies v. Reds: I’ll be rooting for the Reds, but…this is probably the biggest mismatch in the first round. This isn’t about the Reds, who you could argue enter the playoffs as the
The Yankee-hater had a real dilemma yesterday — it’s not clear whether their losing the division was actually a good thing or not. Having thought about it, the difference between the Twins and Rangers (who are almost dead even when you adjust for everything) is virtually nil. With Hamilton playing and Morneau not, I think […]
A Yankees fan friend (to the extent to such a thing is possible) comments: Definition of a masochist: Mets’ fan who watches his team lose a one-run game to the hated Phillies, then hopes the Red
R.I.P. Dustin Moseley wins the Kei Igawa memorial award as the replacement-level pitcher who looks like Pete Alexander in a crucial game against Boston. And yet — I may have more than this when
