I work in Stamford, CT and we just went to lunch at Bobby V's. Bobby Valentine was there, and we chatted it up a bit. Real nice guy, we were trying to figure out if there was a team in baseball history with 4 Gold Glovers in one year on the same Infield.

Ok, here goes: Over the past 20 seasons, this team has broken my heart time & time again: 1. The inability to draft a star QB (the last one this inept franchise had was Sid Luckman, yes, that long ago) 2. The trend to continuously draft scUM players who I freeking HATE rooting for, and...

Today, A.L. & N.L. Rookies of the Year: AL 1. Huston Street, RP, A's: 5-1, 23 Sv, 1.72 ERA. Pretty much a no-brainer here. He's already one of the Top 5 relievers in baseball, & probably getting better. His ERA was 2nd best among AL closers (a guy who comes out to 'Enter: Sandman' was...

NLDS: St. Louis over San Diego in 3. Houston over Atlanta in 4. ALDS: Boston over ChiSox in 5. Yankees over California in 4. NLCS: Houston over St. Louis in 6. ALCS: Yankees over Boston in 7. WORLD SERIES: Yankees over Houston in 6. NL MVP: Andruw Jones AL MVP: A-Rod...

Do any of you remember Nike selling a Captain Kirk Herbstreit jersey about a year ago (or so)? I've been looking to buy it, but I can't find one in stock or in my size (L). I've checked hangonsloopy.com, buckeyecorner.com, and a couple other general sites with no luck .. if someone can...

According to Jason Stark on "The Mike and Mike Show" there is going to be another positive steroid announcement in the next couple of days and the guy is supposedly a bigger name than Rafael Palmeiro. Anyone wanna take a guess as to who that person is?

MLB is expected to announce within the hour. Kiss the HOF goodbye!! Lets see: the all-time hit leader & a guy with 3,000/500 NOT in the Hall .. wow! Could there be a worse black-eye for the sport??

Here's what a little bird told me (I don't think Cleveland would do it tho'): Yankee scouts were recently seen at the Indians-Mariners series, but contrary to speculation, the Yankees scouts were not at the game to scout the Seattle players, but primarily to scout Cleveland's GRADY SIZEMORE...

A little look back on the Highway robberies of the last two decades. If anyone has any more to add, please do so: 1990's: November 18, 1998: The Pittsburgh Pirates trade Ricardo Rincon to the Cleveland Indians for OF Brian Giles. November 18, 1997: The Philadelphia Phillies trade Kevin...

Say your prayers little one Don't forget, my son To include everyone Tuck you in, warm within Keep you free from sin Till the sandman he comes Sleep with one eye open Gripping your pillow tight Exit light Enter night Take my hand Off to never never land Something's...

Probably out of place here, but what the hey. Here's where I'd grade the '05 Yanks at midseason: A+: A-Rod. Still has a lot to prove when it counts, but at midseason, you can't ask for more production than .317-23-72. A+: The Great Mariano. 1.01 ERA with 20 saves. 'Nuff said. A...

Eleven years ago this very night .. "The Waiting is Over! The New York Rangers are the Stanley Cup Champions!!" 54 years in the making, and not a day too soon .. maybe my grandkids can enjoy the next Cup win.

To any of you who haven't bought or rented this yet, I highly reccomend doing so. If for nothing else than the Bonus Material: There's the full Charlie Murphy interview regarding Rick James, the full Rick James interview regarding Charlie Murphy, & two more unaired True Hollywood Stories...

I was gonna write this as a PM to Sears, but why not post it on the board: In my life as a Yankee fan, the two people who absolutely, positively destroyed the Yanks (more than anybody) are a.) David Ortiz, and b.) Edgar Martinez. I remember George Brett killing the Yanks, but most of...

I haven't seen the newest remake of the Longest Yard, but the Sports Guy on Page 2 has a great take on it: The Longest Yard(s) The original is one of my favorite movies of all time. Adam Sandler has gone from a very new, hip, comedian to the celebrity that I most want to go away. At...

I was just checking the MLB Leader Board, and was shocked: A-Rod is leading the majors in Home Runs, RBI, and Runs Scored. That's gotta be the quietest 14-dong, 43-RBI, 37-R performance (through 44 games) I've ever seen. The guy never gets a hit in a big game, but he's guaranteed to drive in...

I think the worst thing that could've happened to Clarett was that he got drafted in the 3rd Round. The only way Clarett would shape up was as a 5th, 6th, 7th Round Selection or as a Free Agent in mini-camp working to make the team. Its the only thing that would've forced him to mature, get...

This article is long (from SI in 1993), but its an absolute classic. I encourage you to take the time and read the whole thing: HEADLINE: What Is Rickey Henderson Doing In Newark?; The greatest leadoff hitter of all time is beating the bushes, trying to get back to the majors--and still...

Does anyone know if this DVD from 2002 is sold anywhere anymore? Its the one put out by Channel 10 before the Fiesta Bowl. I have it on VHS and would like to get the DVD (its the only one I'm missing). And, if you also know where I could get a Buckeye mousepad, you get double kudos. I've...
