“We are the casino.”

I think every baseball can appreciate this and find this funny, even for our resident Yankees fan, Josh. In this spoof of “Moneyball,” the team at Jest takes a look at the mighty struggles of the New York Yankees to field a championship team with a $200 million payroll. http://www.jest.com/moogaloop/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=46873&use_node_id=true&fullscreen=1

ALDS Preview: Game 4 of Yankees/Tigers

Posted in Baseball, tagged , , , , , , , on October 4, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

After a grueling game last night, the teams return for the elimination game number one. What can we expect from the starters? I have no idea. They can be good. They can be bad. It’s more of a matter of who executes. AJ Burnett has described as enigmatic. Most Yankee fans would describe him as [...]

ALDS Preview: Game 3 of Yankees/Tigers

Posted in Baseball, tagged , , , , , , , on October 3, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

In keeping with tradition (starting this morning), we’ll take a look at the pitching match-ups and build from there. And what a pitching match-up we have! The rain delayed Game 1 started out with the best starters in the AL facing off but combined to throw only 3 half innings. While CC Sabathia had his [...]

ALDS preview and a Voting Poll!

Any writer who tried to cheat on their playoff preview was provided a dramatic reminder that baseball is defined by moments. Two nights after one of baseball’s most memorable days concluded by turning the baseball world on its head, the teams have to refocus and be ready for the short series. Tampa Bay Rays (Wild [...]

What does Mark Teixeira’s admission mean for the playoffs?

Posted in Baseball, tagged , , , on September 29, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

On Tuesday, Yankees manager, Joe Girardi, announced that Robinson Cano would be hitting third while Mark Teixeira would be bumped down to fifth in the batting order. This move has made sense for a while since Teixeira has failed to simply be a better hitter than Cano. In his first year in the Bronx, Teixeira [...]

AL Rookie of the Year Revisited: In a word, stacked

Posted in Baseball, tagged , , , , , , , , , on September 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

We saw the NL crop and by comparison, the AL crop of rookies is 7 kinds of ridiculous. So, let’s get into it. Michael Pineda, SP, Seattle Mariners Pineda has been everything the Mariners could have hoped for in his first season, probably more. He’s striking out 9.11 per 9 innings while walking only 2.89 [...]

The AL Cy Young Award Race Revisited: Seems like voters have made up their minds

Posted in Baseball, tagged , , , , , , , , on September 22, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Virtually all year, the AL Cy Young race would be decided by the trio of Jered Weaver, CC Sabathia and Justin Verlander. Though it’s understable, they’re all very excellent choices, the scope has been artificially limited largely by the media. Guys like Dan Haren, CJ Wilson, Felix Hernandez and Justin Masterson have all put in [...]

The amazing, sublime and unparalleled Mariano Rivera

Posted in Baseball, tagged , , , on September 21, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Even before Josh asked me to take over editing duties of The Fat Lady, I wanted to find the perfect way to describe Mariano Rivera, even if just for friends, family, my kids, eventual grandkids and fans at the Stadium. This is it. The Amazing How does one perfectly describe someone who is inexplicably unique? [...]

Oh, so the Yankees aren’t in third place after all

Posted in Baseball, tagged , , , , , , , on August 22, 2011 | 2 Comments »

The Yankees had to weather a few storms this offseason. From Andy Pettitte to Cliff Lee to Derek Jeter coming off of his worst offensive season, many were ready to deem the 2011 offseason a failure as they failed to land anyone of significance. Instead, they signed “Sweaty” Freddy Garcia, Bartolo “Admiral Ackbar” Colon and [...]
