Your Yankee Superfandom Is Not Welcome
Interesting story about the paranoid corporate buffoonery of the Yankees who decided that novelist Jane Heller's "Confessions of a She-Fan" was "too controversial" to be a part of the Yankees' Opening Day commemorative program. More »

Lift Your Calzones And Salute; The End Of The George Steinbrenner Era Has Come
When I worked at MSNBC Sports in Redmond, Wash., one of my first assignments was to interview George Steinbrenner by phone for an audio link to an online story. I remember him as one of those rare interview subjects whom you just kick start with a single question, and then watch race around the room. He was loquacious, informative, even funny. Of course others, chiefly Billy Martin, knew him as a prick. And he's lost quite a bit off his fastball since then, which is why, finally, he's officially released his bony grip from the tiller of the Yankees and handed over things to his sons Hal and Hank, with the emphasis on Hal.

Steinbrenner and Isiah Share A Secret Gay Lover (Allegedly)
I was about to go on this long rant about how ESPN keeps discussing the New York Yankees throughout the ALCS, but as soon as I saw the latest Jonathan Lee Riches lawsuit on The Smoking Gun, I quickly retracted my sentiments. Riches, who you may remember from such frivolous lawsuits as "Bill Belichick put a secret camera in Donovan McNabb's soup" and "Michael Vick stole my dogs," continues to file sexual harassment lawsuits at New York sports figures as he sits and stews in the South Carolina state prison.

Is It The End Of Days For The Yankees?
A new story in Conde Nast Portfolio magazine confirms what we've all pretty much known for a few years anyway: George Steinbrenner is decrepit and deluded about what's going on in the world. More » -

Steinbrenner's Agonizing "Decision"
We have trouble with the concept of "soul-searching" when it comes to George Steinbrenner — he seems to have a key ingredient missing — but evidently the Yankee owner did some heavy thinking over the past two days. According to the New York Post, Steinbrenner has apparently decided not to fire manager Joe Torre. More »

Little League President Will Hold Breath Until Yankees Give Him More Cash
We knew it would be fun having Staten Island as a representative in the Little League World Series, and indeed, they haven't disappointed. First, the team had a, um, colorful game in pool play on Sunday, which ended with a slap. Then today we learn that Staten Island Little League president Bob Johnson ripped New York Yankees' owner George Steinbrenner — and Alex Rodriguez, of course — for not doing enough in financially supporting the Little League team. Steinbrenner donated $5,000 to the league to help parents with transportation costs, etc., but that wasn't nearly enough, according to Johnson: More »

Larry Bowa, Voice Of Calm And Decency
The rumors are coming fast and with much fury, and the notion of it makes us so happy we almost want to dance: The Yankees have offered combustible engine Larry Bowa a job as their third-base coach. It is not known whether Bowa could be considered a potential replacement for Joe Torre were he to finally decide he's had enough lunacy in the Bronx, but there's a chance, and that's just amazing.

Derek Jeter ... REVEALED! (Uh, by CBS.)

You won't believe the dirt they've uncovered. It's Derek Jeter LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE! More » -

Another Reason To Hate Teenagers
We've been watching video of that dumbass teenager who jumped onto the screen behind home plate at Yankee Stadium last night. We love contrasting the terrified look on his face after he pulled that stunt with the this-is-why-we're-never-having-children smirk when he was taken into police custody this morning. Honestly, we've always thought that anyone who pulled any stunts at Yankee Stadium would be taken out by Steinbrenner-approved snipers on the roof. Maybe they thought he was a minor. Close. More »
