MLB: Yanks win wild one; Mets choke again

What a week for the two New York teams.  The Yankees were all but dead at 8 game out of first and a few back in the wild card race.  After sweeping the Red Sox, the Yanks are treading water again.  The trick is how well they play against Tampa Bay Devil Rays.  You would think [...]

MLB: Guillen fed up with Sox

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen if fed up with the play he is getting from his team, two years removed from World Series glory…he said after a loss last night to the Rangers…
“We’ve got a $100 million payroll and they don’t show it on the field.  If this keeps up, bring on the Double-A kids. [...]

MLB: Yanks get Sox; Phillies top Mets

Roger Clemens had a no-hitter going to the sixth inning and A-Rod hit his 44th home run to put the Yankees over the Red Sox 4-3 for the second straight night.  It doesn’t mean anything but could be the start of the collapse.

MLB: Good news from Yankeees

First they beat Boston, thanks to Andy Pettite. Then they benched Mike Mussina in favor of Ian Kennedy, a former first round pick and top prospect.  Anything is better at this point than Mussina has been lately - a 17.69 ERA over his last three starts.
Beating Boston one game isn’t enough.  The Yanks need to [...]

MLB: Sox Climb as Yanks Sink

Coming off a tremendous weekend, the Boston Red Sox are riding high sweeping four from the once proud Chicago White Sox.  Boston seems to have the division wrapped, playing some great baseball as of late.  Meanwhile, the Yankees are folding after bringing their fans into a state of belief.  They capped a bad road trip [...]

PGA: Stricker Pulls Out a Thriller

Steve Stricker was down but not out.  KJ Choi cruised into the lead with two consecutive birdies - a 45-footer and a 50-footer - only to watch a great week end in disappointment.  Stricker answered Choi with birdies on four of the last five holes for the victory.  Can you say Tiger who?  A great start [...]

MLB: Maddux sets mark

I think we take for granted the greatness of some of the pitchers that are in the twilight of their careers.  Greg Maddux just surpassed Cy Young with his 10th win last night, making that the 20th straight season with 10 or more victories.  With Maddux, Roger Clemens, Tom Glavin, Randy Johnson and John Smolt we [...]
