Section 203: Fist Pump Edition
If you’ve been hiding under a rock the past week you might have missed the premiere of MTV’s “Jersey Shore.“ The word “awesome” cannot fully comprehend, encompass, and describe the show. It is simply amazing. The last time I’ve seen this many self-proclaimed guidos and guidettes? The Yankees Championship parade. That said, after staying up to [...]

- #1 Alabama v. #2 Texas – not taking anything away from the other undefeated teams (TCU, Cincinnati) I think the BCS did get it right by pitting these two teams against each other. I know I can’t wait for the Shipley/Arenas matchup on the outside. Interesting fact: Other than LSU’s Justin Vincent in 2004, no [...]

Exactly 8 years after the heart-breaking loss to the Diamonbacks in the 2001 World Series, the Yankees are once again the World Series champions. After not fully appreciating the 4 title run in the late ’90s, this playoff run will long be remembered by me. And before I go into some thoughts on [...]

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 [...]

Ok, we need to address this. I tried ignoring it. We do things in the heat of the moment. Adrenaline pumping. 25 guys on a 10 month journey and the moment just happens. But I can’t ignore it anymore. Rho Dynasty commented about it , and David (aka the writer formerly known as YJ) brought it up last [...]

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 [...]

“Yes. I know I’m awesome. Thank you. Thank you. Where’s my contract extension?” It’s been a while since I posted. There’s been a lot of reflection and more importantly, a lot of (not-so-current) current events to cover since my last post. i.e. I’m not going to be so lazy anymore. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
