Anything to get away from baseball…
I watch a lot of television. Too much or not enough, I'm not sure which. Too much in that the set is constantly on during waking hours when I'm not working. Not enough because there are highly touted shows that I simply haven't made time for, but know I would enjoy....
It’s just another day…
Walker and Harvey to the DL. Add Lagares to the list. Now the Yanks join the injury parade with Sanchez and Hicks going down and Greg Bird hurting in SWB. What is going on with New York baseball? Could this rash of injuries be partially caused by the length of games,...

Headlines trumpet that the YES Network's ratings for the Yankees are up by 50% over last season. Their numbers surpass the Mets on SNY. On the field, there is no comparison. After last night's shelling of David Price and the Bosox, the Yanks are 4-1 against their...
Aces low…
Springsteen once sang, "God have mercy on the man who doubts what he's sure of". New York baseball fans could once be sure of Tanaka and deGrom. Every time they took the mound, you could count on a quality start, even on rare nights when they didn't have their best...
Now Kookie and Frenchy are all that’s left

Good things come to those who wait. Really?
We waited through three rounds of blowout NBA playoff games, anticipating the inevitable ---Golden State-Cleveland III. And what do we have so far? Two more blowouts. Maybe we're not being patient enough and the Cavs response to last year's 3-1 deficit will come...
