We are having a special edition of the show tonight. Frank Russo, a contributor to NY Baseball Digest, and author of the book Bury My Heart at Cooperstown will join me for the hour. We will discuss his work, talk Yankees and Mets baseball, and get his take on some of the latest rumors and [...]

Since I am a man that believes he should admit that he was wrong, I will start with my admission: The Phillies, a team that I called Beer Leaguer’s, are World Champions and deserve credit. I trashed your stadium, calling it fit for softball, and ridiculed your reckless style of play the last two years. [...]

Chad Jennings over at his SWB Blog outlines some of the options the Yankees have to fill their catching position in 2009. We have read on this site about some of the questions regarding Jorge Posada’s health. The good news is the Yankees have a plethora of catching talent at the minor league level. Give [...]

The Mets announced today that they have re-signed National League Comeback Player of the Year for 2008 Fernando Tatis to a 1 year contract worth $1.17 million. Tatis is likely to play a bench role this coming season, and probably somebody who will play more a utility role than he played in 2008. He could [...]

Today is a holiday for me. So I called some friends, spent the day combing the internet for baseball news, and took the day to read some of my favorite baseball books. The reason: The World Series is over. That means the hot stove can gear up, and Spring Training can’t be far behind. Baseball [...]

We finally were able to finalize the video from early October where I took part in the round table over at the Versus Studio’s in New York City. We just launched a new page on the site where you can watch all six parts of my appearance on Versus. To refresh, this panel was with [...]

It’s a little over 15 hours after I had to watch Brad Lidge throw one more slider a foot off the ground to whiff his last victim of the 2008 MLB Season. I’m sick about it. I was physically moved to doubling over on my live radio show…(1) [just fast forward to the last 5 [...]

Out of all the unpredictable turns this series has taken, Game 6 may have taken the cake. After all, who could have predicted Lou Piniella losing Buddy Harrelson’s triple in the lights? A total meltdown by Goose Gossage? And the Mets offense exploding at just the right time? All that came into play during the [...]

Richard will take us back to that autumn day in October and discuss the key highlights throughout all nine innings. Hear him share stories about Lou Piniella, Fred Lynn, Ron Guidry, Mike [...]

As of this writing, it is still unclear as to whether Bobby Abreu will be returning to the Yankees next season. Abreu, whose first choice is to stay in New York, is seeking a three or four year deal, something that Brian Cashman is thankfully shying away from. Clogging up the roster with another multi-year [...]

We have learned that Lenny Randle could potentially become a candidate for the Mets first base coaching job. From what I can gather, the organization believes the team needs a jolt and they want to add a coach that could add perspective, passion, and experience to this team. Having spoke to Lenny on numerous occasions [...]

You all hear the term “sixth man” in basketball. Back in the late nineties John Starks was the explosive, sharp shooting guard off the bench for the Knicks. John Havlicek made a Hall of Fame career of being the Celtics first man off the bench. Do the Mets have their version of John Starks in [...]

Thought you might appreciate this video. I never heard this rant by Lee Elia. I know all of us, whether it be about our team or line of work, have felt this way.
