Meet the Bronx Breezes: Yankees are now a whiff-a-palooza

Justin Fields, Dan Orlovsky, and the never-ending degradation of Black QBs with age-old stereotypes
I find myself often being perplexed by the way some things are happening. Currently, one of those situations is the seemingly-inexplicable decrease in draft stock of a quarterback prospect I love, Justin Fields, who before the season was the consensus second-best quarterback behind Trevor Lawrence. ...
Brian Cashman was ‘heartbroken’ about Masahiro Tanaka’s experiences with racism, but such reactions insult people of color

Will The Yankees Get Out Of Their Own Way And Be Sellers?
The New York Yankees are a mediocre baseball team that also happens to employ a plethora of talented players that more competitive teams would gladly pay a decent price to acquire.

Derek Jeter Got Mad At The Yankees Because They Thought Troy Tulowitzki Was Better
The Yankees’ pinstriped hard-on for Troy Tulowitzki was an open secret. Every season was supposed to be the one that the shortstop was finally traded to usurp Derek Jeter in New York.

Jacoby Ellsbury is a very good outfielder, signed at market rate, who projects to age well but in five or six years will nevertheless be one of the more overpaid players in the game. But that's a problem for another day, and despite dropping $238 million on Ellsbury and Brian McCann, the Yankees sti...

Brian Cashman Looks Pretty Chill For A Guy Who Just Had Ankle Surgery
So it turns out that Brian Cashman's skydiving mishap from earlier today probably didn't result in him suffering a compound fracture. That's good, because compound fractures are gross.
