Joe Girardi, Apparently This Is Your Dream Job
The night of Joe Torre's final game as Yankees manager, we ran into one of those aggressively hardcore Yankees fans who are perfectly friendly until they've had a bit to drink. We asked him what he thought about the job vacancy; he said, "I hope it's not Mattingly. I can't boo Donny Baseball." It wa...
It's Always About A-Rod
You can just imagine Scott Boras sitting in his office a week and a half ago and doing the math.

It turned out that he hadn't cleaned out his locker; he had merely cleaned it. Say what you will about the status of...
Derek Jeter Takes Care Of His Ladies

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?

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.
