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.

Monday, June 29, 2009
Much has happened since the last edition of the Asian Guy Power Rankings – we witnessed the deaths of Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, and Blake Griffin’s career. Mariano Rivera recorded his 500th career save. However, it’s been a pathetically slow and uneventful two weeks for the AGPR. Daisuke Matsuzaka was disqualified from the AGPR in [...]
