Time Traveler Beams In For Patriots-Cowboys Presser
Absolutely bizarre question-and-answer session at the end of the Patriots-Cowboys game last night: Apparently, it's not so difficult to get a press pass in Dallas....
The 49ers Have Many Ways To Make You Hurl
Oh 49ers, what have you gotten yourselves into now? It seems that in order for the team to acquire the land that it needs for a proposed new stadium in Santa Clara, the 49ers would have to purchase and operate the Great America Amusement Park, which is next to the site. And what's more, the team is...
Joe Torre, Hanging Around, Wondering What's Up
Wouldn't it be strange if, after all the fuss of the last few days, if the Yankees decided to keep Joe Torre after all? It certainly would signify, publicly, at last, that George Steinbrenner is finally being considered the doddering old man he is, and that his rantings are being treated with the se...
The Islanders Love Those Cute Little Bloggers
You might remember when we told you about the New York Islanders' "revolutionary" Blog Box, in which "bloggers" were "credentialed" to "cover" the "hockey." (We're quote crazy today!)...
ALDS Game 4 Blogdome: Hello Indians, Goodbye Yankees
What they're saying out there in the ether about Cleveland's 6-4 win over New York that ousted the Yankees from the AL Playoffs ......
Nice Of The Indians To Show Up
It might have taken a while to discover it, but it turns out, the Yankees didn't just lose last night; the Indians — the other team, the ones in the darker jerseys — actually won. They weren't just there; they weren't just reacting to the Yankees. All told, they had a lot to do with the series win....
The Indians Make Joe Torre Sad
Clearly, Joe Torre did a terrible job managing tonight, and deserves to be fired. (Totally!) But that's tomorrow's news: Tonight, a congratulations to the Indians, an awfully exciting team that's gonna be a joy to watch against the Red Sox, starting this weekend. We can't wait....
Is This The Last Night For The Yankees We've Come To Know?
Fascinating proposition from Peter Abraham at the LoHud Yankees blog today: Have Bernie Williams throw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium tonight. There's something perfect and symmetrical about it; in what could be Joe Torre's last game in The Bronx, having his equally popular pet toss out the f...
Roger Clemens Is Ready To Go Home Now
Roger Clemens walked off the mound for, presumably, the final time last night, because of a balky hamstring ... we suppose. Mostly it looked like a guy finally realizing he had nothing left except for, of course, $22 million....
One More Night For The Yankees
Forgive us for referencing our column again, but we can't quite get over how dead the Yankees looked in the third inning last night. Whatever your thoughts on George Steinbrenner's "ultimatum" — and we tend to think it's the rantings of a doddering old man who mistakenly let someone end with a noteb...
Don't Start Lending Joe Torre Money Just Yet
Thanks to Johnny Damon and Philip Hughes, the Yankees have given us all something to do Monday night. And we have one more Joe Torre-free night on the soup line. We might look for Roger Clemens there, though....
ALDS Game 2 Live Blog: Indians Vs. Yankees
Kind of a big game tonight for the Yanks; will it all destruct? It's Fausto Carmona for the Indians and Andy Pettitte for the Yankees. And your live blogger once again is the great Matt Sussman, who did an awfully bangup job yesterday. Enjoy his comedic stylings after the jump....
Yankees Lose! Ack! (Oh, And The Indians Were There Too)
We talked about this in our Times column this morning, but we repeat it here: Nobody handles losing worse than a Yankees fan. That's not meant to be a criticism; we wish we expected our teams to win more than we do. It's no fun, sometimes, waiting for the piano to land on your head....
ALDS Game 1 Live Blog: Indians Vs. Yankees
The Phillies-Rockies series is half (or more) over, and the Yankees still haven't played. If they hadn't lost their spot as MLB's Prime Time Team to the Red Sox, we'd be waiting even longer. But here they are, facing an Indians team that's been underrated all season. It's C.C. Sabathia for the Indi...
