Baseball Remains Out of the Eye of Developing Sports Labor Storm
Posted in Baseball, MLB, Yankees on September 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Baseball has long been the sport most known for unstable labor relations, but that perception has changed. Since the 1994 strike that canceled that year’s World Series, both the NBA and NHL have suffered work stoppages as well as declines in relative popularity. In fact, the NHL suffered two lockouts over that span, the most […]
Empty Bullpens and Loaded Bases: Rangers Assembly Line of Pitchers, Yankees Inability to Manufacture a Run Lead to 13 Inning Defeat
Posted in Baseball, MLB, Yankees on September 11, 2010 | 1 Comment »
The Yankees 6-5 loss to the Rangers was both a parade of pitchers and a comedy of errors, and often both at the same time. Ron Washington got an early start on his record setting chess match with Joe Girardi when he was forced to pull CJ Wilson after three difficult innings in which the […]

When a baseball player who seems to be nearing the end of his career is able to reinvent himself in someway and thereby maintain, or even improve, his performance, it is often referred to as a reincarnation. I am sure many Yankees fans are hoping Derek Jeter will be in line for one next season, […]
Libeling Lou: Iron Horse Sues to Restore His Name 90 Years Ago Today
Posted in Baseball, MLB, Yankees on September 9, 2010 | 1 Comment »
The New York media can be tough for sure. When a team in the city doesn’t play well, several interesting theories often emerge as to the root cause of the problem, and scapegoats are quickly indentified.
