Tulo Cup Checker

Steve L. — Tue, 21 May 2013 21:18:31 +0000

Reminds me of the old joke: Would you rather have roses on the piano or tulips on your organ.

I’d rather have a high-five in my hand than than Tulo on my junk.

Yankees Getting Soccer Team

Steve L. — Tue, 21 May 2013 20:13:46 +0000

Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber announced today that a partnership of global sports powers, Manchester City Football Club and the New York Yankees, has acquired the League’s 20th expansion club. The new team will be named New York City Football Club (NYCFC) and expects to begin play in 2015.

I miss the days when baseball teams only cared about focusing on baseball.

One Of The Greatest Catches I Have Ever Seen

Bonds On Cabrera

Good read.

Miggy is amazing. Like Albert was in his prime. I just hope that it doesn’t come up, someday, that he was on something. That would just takeaway everything that he’s done so far…

Official Sponsor Of The Yankees Signage In Camden Yards?

Did I really see that, behind home plate, during the game IN BALTIMORE, last night?

Talk about taking it to the Orioles twice, once in the game and once on the ballpark advertising signage…

Anyone have an idea why there are so many Holy Rollers in baseball?

(I’m not saying that it’s a bad thing to be a Holy Roller, if that’s how you float your boat. I’m just curious as to why so many with the gift to play baseball at the highest level are that way…)

Another Possible Great Line For A-Rod’s Resume?

Steve L. — Mon, 20 May 2013 17:19:19 +0000

What do you think would happen if…

The Yankees were in first place on July 26th, fifteen games over five-hundred with a five game lead in the division. And, on that day, Alex Rodriguez returns to the line-up for New York. However, from that point until the end of the season, A-Rod has an OPS of .700 and looks lost in the field. And, while that’s happening, the Yankees fall out of first place and miss the post-season.

Think that would leave another ding on A-Rod’s legacy?
