If you follow Jose Canseco on Twitter you’re bound to find out a new piece of information about him. Canseco is currently trying out for a team in Mexico- he informed everyone that he will find out if he made it on Sunday - but last night he spent some time expressing regret over writing the book “Juiced.” I am truly […]

I think the one aspect of Sandy Alderson that largely is lost on the public is his dry sense of humor. I have experienced it during conference calls and when he’s interacted with reporters at Citi Field. You saw that a bit with his “box of chocolates” comment when Jose Reyes signed with Miami. Yesterday, […]

2012 Sports Media Watchdog nominee Michael Kay took to Twitter this past weekend. Kay had some feedback about the experience to date during his ESPN Radio show, which I discuss over at Sports Media Watchdog.  

The gap between athlete and fan has probably never been wider. With the average salary north of $3 million dollars it’s hard for many average baseball fans to connect with the players on the field. No longer do we live in times when the Brooklyn Dodgers actually lived in Brooklyn. The advent of social media […]

A couple of weeks ago Jose Canseco was lobbying for a spring training invite on Twitter, and even called out Mets GM Sandy Alderson, saying that he would even play first base for a tryout. Canseco claims he can still lead the league in homers if given the opportunity. For fun, I decided to throw […]

Had to share two hysterical Mike Francesa pieces of information. First, NYBD fan Anthony Zachariadis posted the enclosed picture on Facebook, after numerous technical difficulties at Yankee Stadium the other day. That kind of sums up many of the “mailed in” shows that Francesa does on a consistent basis. Of course, the ratings don’t change […]

Former Mets pitcher Mike Bacsik was fired from his job on a 1310 The Ticket in Dallas due to remarks on Twitter about Mexican Americans. Using the term “dirty Mexican” clearly was bad judgment by Bacsik, especially in lieu of the current political climate, but why do radio stations fire individuals like Bacsik, while Craig […]

Not New York related but in the age of information RHP Jason Grilli announced his free agent signing on twitter. Sources familiar with the situation told NYBD  that Washington and Cleveland were vying for Grilli’s services. Although there is no official confirmation it appears that Cleveland has landed the veteran right hander. I believe this […]

Mike and Howard remember Hank Greenberg in honor of Rosh Hashanah. They talk about a possible Jeff Francoeur contract, “winning ballplayers”, and more on the Yanks pitching. They talk about Mike’s “twitter battle” with Roger Clemens. Howard admonishes Mike for not knowing the birthplace of college football. We will open the phone lines if anyone […]

It’s a sad day when a former sports icon hits a new low. We have seen it with the A&E special on Jose Canseco earlier in the year and now Roger Clemens has turned to social media in order to spin his web of deceit. The NY Daily News wrote a story about Clemens “tweeting” […]

Chris will be at the Cyclones game tonight to get a look at the rehabbing Carlos Beltran. Obviously we will provide you analysis here, but if you want real time updates subscribe to our Twitter account. We will let you know the who, what, when, where, why, and how live from Keyspan Park!

The Hudson Valley Renegades, affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, will be the first professional sports team to use Twitter to broadcast a game this Sunday August 23rd against the Staten Island Yankees. According to Hudson Valley’s official website, “The event will run on Livestream’s Twitcam platform and will be sponsored by MyMobileTeam. The broadcast […]

- Bravo to Mark Feinsand who hit the nail on the head with the MVP discourse and now takes Joba Chamberlain to task. In this morning’s “Blogging the Bombers”, Feinsand talks about how tired Chamberlain’s postgame bromides have become. Instead of sounding like Nook Laloosh, as he often as been referred to by the beats, […]

Readers of the site continue to demand that I educate myself on modern statistical analysis. In order to do so,  I wanted to see what those in the game think of various statistics. Yesterday it was former GM Jim Duquette and today its LA Dodgers 1B Doug Mientkiewicz over at his twitter. Why not ask […]
