Yankees Roll In Game Four And Will Ha...

2011 Written by BeltwayBoy

The New York Yankees beat the Detroit Tigers last night to force a big game five back home in the Bronx. I tip my hat to Yankees pitcher A.J. Burnett who has been in the doghouse with the New York media and was left out off the playoff rotation until mother nature threw a wrench into those plans at the start of this series. I don’t thi [...]

A healthy Alex Rodriguez will provide a huge boost to the New York Yankees as they enter the top of the stretch in their battle with the Boston Red Sox for the AL East. I never had any issue when A-Rod opted to fix his meniscus like some people and getting him back now and healthy will put them over the top in my opinion. Amplify’d fr [...]

2011 Written by BeltwayBoy

My fantasy baseball team lost a real heart breaker 284.5-283.5 and fell back to .500 at 9-9 on the season. I’m playing in an AL Only head to head league. I was leading by 5 points late last night and the Boston Red Sox come from behind win over the New York Yankees pushed my opponent past me for the win. I’ve had some tough hard [...]

Chien-Ming Wang Will Make His First S...

2011 Written by BeltwayBoy

My thoughts on Chien-Ming Wang’s début as a member of the Washington Nationals. He’s making his first start in over 2 years because of an injury to his pitching shoulder. In 2006 and 2007 he went a combined 38-13 pitching for the New York Yankees and has a 55-26 career over his career. Click the play button below to hear the rest [...]

Hideki Irabu Will Be Missed

Jul29
2011 Written by BeltwayBoy

This is a very sad ending for Hideki Irabu and it saddens me to see it. I remember the big time buzz he generated when he came to the U.S. to pitch and became a member of the New York Yankees. After that first game it looked like he was going to be a very dominating pitcher, but it didn’t quite work out that way. Rest In Peace Hideki [...]

Hideki Matsui Reaches 500 Home Runs

2011 Written by BeltwayBoy

I’m glad to see Hideki Matsui reach the 500 home run plateau for his career. It would’ve been good to see him do it in New York in front of Yankees fans. It doesn’t bother me that he hit 332 of his home runs playing in Japan. Matsui is a great hitter in the clutch and was the MVP of the 2009 World Series as a member of th [...]

I’m glad to see that if the IRS goes after it’s piece of the Derek Jeter 3,000 hit action that the kid will get help to pay it. Only in America could something as dumb as this happen to someone for trying to do the right thing. I couldn’t believe it when I heard the IRS was possibly going to tax the kid on the seats the N [...]

2011 Written by BeltwayBoy

The kid who caught this ball is going to get screwed over and this really pisses me off! The kid did what he thought was right and gave the ball to his baseball hero and didn’t look to make a buck off of it!! The big debate has been whether he should have sold the ball and cashed in on his good luck. This kid may now end up having to [...]

2011 Written by BeltwayBoy

I have no problem with guys wanting to rest their bodies for a grueling stretch run as the MLB Playoff race heats up. A World Series Championship is a real possibility for these guys and that’s what you play for every year. The New York Yankees are not spring chickens anymore and as you get older it takes longer to bounce back from y [...]

2011 Written by BeltwayBoy

Derek Jeter enters the 3,000 hit club in true New York Yankees style by going 5-5 and with his 3,000th hit being a home run! Jeter has always produced when the lights are the brightest on the big stage and if I didn’t know better I’d have thought I was watching a late October game in the Bronx. It looked like business as usual a [...]

Should A-Rod Have Knee Surgery Now Or...

2011 Written by BeltwayBoy

A-Rod has a torn meniscus in his right knee and has to have surgery. Now the debate begins on whether he should have the surgery and miss up to a month or wait until the season is over? I know it’s really a minor operation, but it’s very, very painful. I know because I had it done on my right knee. It will flare up and subside s [...]

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim right-hander Jordan Walden has been named to replace Mariano Rivera of the New York Yankees on the American League’s active roster for the 82nd All-Star Game, Major League Baseball announced today. Because Rivera was a player-elected All-Star, his replacement was to be the next highest ranking relief pitche [...]

2011 Written by BeltwayBoy

Derek Jeter is only 3 hits away from becoming the first player in New York Yankees history to accomplish the feat. That’s incredible considering the great history of the team and all the MLB greats to ever wear the pinstripes over the years. I can’t wait to see him get this and I really want to see it happen in the Bronx in fron [...]

I’m a huge fan of Derek Jeter and hope that he’s able to get his 3000th hit at home in front of New York Yankees fans later this week. I hope the milestone is out of the way before the MLB All-Star break. Amplify’d from sports.espn.go.com CLEVELAND — A lot of things have changed around the New York Yankees sin [...]
