The 7 Stages Of A Bobby Valentine Meltdown
The worst part of Bobby Valentine's soon-to-be-over slow-motion train wreck with the Red Sox is its predictability. To say that Bobby Valentine has never gracefully handled a losing season would only obscure the fact that he's never gracefully handled any season. (Even during the salad days with the...

The 2-2 Jets, mired in a trench of poor quarterback play and idiots screaming for Tebow, added to that the reeling feeling of learning Santonio Holmes would be missing the rest of the season....
An Exhaustive Audio History Of The "Yankees Suck" Chant
This week's excerpt from Slate's Hang Up and Listen podcast is super-timely. It's got the Red Sox, the Yankees, and people who say the Yankees suck. Can't ever get enough of them. Massholes, like Sully. Gotta love Sully. And there's politics! There's some kind of political affair tonight, isn't ther...
"What Do You Want Me To Do—Tell You How Bad My Life Is, How Shitty It Is?": Adam Greenberg's Journey Back To The Majors
In 2005, Adam Greenberg was struck in the head with a fastball in his first major-league at-bat. He's spent the last seven years trying to get back to the majors. Last week, he signed a one-day contract with the Marlins and got his second career at-bat to a standing ovation in Miami last night. He s...
Rasheed Wallace Has Arrived At Knicks Camp. He's Wearing Clam Diggers And A Backwards Jersey
This photo comes courtesy of Seth Rosenthal's Twitter feed. We spent some time debating what one would call Sheed's pants. Highwaters? Capris? Shants? We eventually settled on clam diggers, because "clam diggers" is fun to say. Whatever their real name may be, those pants are...something....
Jets Sign A Receiver Who Called Them "Overhyped" Last Season
To make up for the loss of Santonio Holmes, the Jets added receiver Jason Hill today, per Brian Costello of the New York Post. This is the same Jason Hill who called the Jets "overhyped" last season....
David Cone Made An Unfortunate Reference To Ichiro's "Chopstick"
More than anything, I wager that David Cone's choice of words has more to do with the insatiable pressure that some announcers put on themselves to fill dead air or to feel as if they're adding their perspective to the telecast (especially if they happen to be a former player). Nonetheless, the fi...
Santonio Holmes' Season Is Now Likely Over, And The New York Jets Just Got Interesting
The New York Jets appear to have lost wide receiver Santonio Holmes to a serious foot injury that will cost him the rest of the 2012 season in all likelihood. Yahoo's Jason Cole reported the news Tuesday evening, adding the following detail:...
A Wee Bird Terrorized One Yankee Stadium Grounds Crew Worker
You just never know when a li'l injured/scared bird will come onto a baseball field and starting flopping and flailing before (kinda) flying off, but this one made sure it first made an unfortunate example out of a Yankee Stadium worker. Oh, and don't miss the part where Michael Kay thinks, if onl...
"TEWBOW AT QB," And More Fan Suggestions To Improve The Jets
The Jets are in trouble. Their last game against the 49ers was an embarrassing 34-0 rout. Mark Sanchez passed for 103 yards. The Jets' next game is Monday night against the Texans, and the team has to improve. So someone on the Jets' Facebook page came up with the idea to ask Jets fans for help, see...
Top Yankees Prospect Who Had Innings Limit Now Needs Tommy John Surgery
The big Stephen Strasburg shutdown debate seems ancient now, with beads of cheap champagne lining plastic sheeting in the dumpsters out behind Nationals Park. But recall that Nationals GM Mike Rizzo—and Strasburg's agent, Scott Boras—insisted that the "doctors" supported their conclusions to end Str...

A Red Sox Fan Pulled A Jeffrey Maier And Gave The Yankees A Home Run
We thought last week's minor kerfluffle, on Bobby Valentine's game of employment chicken, would be the last Red Sox update we'd have to do this season. No sense piling on. But the Red Sox can't seem to stop doing terrible things....

How Did This Girl End Up At A New York Hotel With Mark Sanchez And Tim Tebow? [UPDATED]
Those intrepid internet lurkers over at Busted Coverage found this one, and we have to agree: Once we saw these photos and considered where they came from, all we were left with were questions.

The Jets Are Currently Getting De-Pantsed By the 49ers; Is It Time For Something New?

Mayoral Candidate Exposed As Shameless Vote-Grubbing, Front-Running Sports Fan
If there is one golden rule in New York City politics, it's that you've got to court the Yankee vote if you want to be Mayor. No right-thinking person is going to trust their city to someone who willfully supports the Mets. That's Politics 101. But this? This is an embarrassment. Christine Quinn is...
