From the Canyon of Heroes to the Bowels of Madison Square Garden
Riding high off of the Yankees’ 27th World Series Championship, I was prepared to see a competitive Knicks squad that would attract marquee free agents this summer. While a playoff berth was unlikely, it wasn’t impossible. I figured the Knicks would finish the season with about 35 wins and 47 losses, but my hopes were dashed five [...]

Wednesday, October 28, 2009
Phillies in 5. In the series that’s been dubbed The Liberty Series (Statue v. Bell), the I-95 Series, the AmTrak Series, or even a throwback series matching up some of baseball’s oldest teams, the Phillies have the edge. I’m calling it Cheesesteaks v. Cheesecakes. It has a nice ring to it. And plus, I [...]

The clock struck 12 and there were two strikes on Gary Matthews, Jr. Mo bent at the waist, held his form and delivered a third strike to finally put away a pesky, resilient Angels squad. At 12:01, the Yankees won their 40th American League Pennant and will face the defending World Series champs, the Philadelphia [...]

I hope we don’t see this again. It happened in ‘02. It happened again in ‘05. They’ve always played us tough, rallied behind their monkey to pummel our bullpen (Mo included), and protected their homefield. (Which isn’t in Los Angeles. It’s in Anaheim. That’s like if the NY Giants called themselves the New York Giants [...]

Friday, October 2, 2009
After Joba Chamberlain’s forgettable start against the K.C. Royals in the Yankees regular season finale (which I attended), I think the Yankees are going to go with a 3-man rotation with 7-8 relief pitchers. That means they’ll carry 14-15 position players with them to the ALDS against their likely opponents, the Detroit Tigers. Who should [...]

Wednesday, September 30, 2009
Lately it’s been all fun and games for the Bronx Bombers after sweeping the Red Sox over the weekend to clinch the AL East, beating the Royals with their Triple-A team on Monday night, and last night’s come-from-behind walk-off victory off the bat of Juan Miranda. This was the 15th walk-off and the 50th come-from-behind victory [...]

Monday, July 13, 2009
Maybe the Los Angels Angels of Anaheim have some secret voodoo curse on the New York Yankees. Maybe the Yankees’ kryptonite are teams clad in red. Who knows? Or maybe the Yankees were just looking ahead to the All-Star break. I know. Clever. I try. Actually the more I try to move on and look [...]

Monday, July 6, 2009
Welcome to Section 203 – the new home of the Bleacher Creatures and my new Yankees Blog as well. Blue Jays v. Yankees – 7/5/2009 At first it looked like a bigger blowout than the typical haircut of the Bridge and Tunnel crowd in South Jersey in the summer. Brett Cecil worked methodically to ensure his team [...]
