The Rangers beat the Flyers 3-2 at Citizen’s Bank Park in Philadelphia yesterday in the 2012 editions of the Winter Classic. For a non-hockey fan like me, this was an entertaining game on a day where there was little else to watch. How about two Winter Classic games played in New York on New Year’s […]
It was a classic start to this year’s NYBD Sim Series between the 1973 Mets and 2009 Yankees. Tom Seaver took on CC Sabathia at the new Yankee Stadium and both delivered outstanding performances. In the end, it was the most unlikely member of the Yankees roster that did the most damage to give them a 1-0 lead. Melky […]

I always hate hearing the old saying that a certain pitcher is more of a National League vs. American League hurler. It comes across arrogant, as if the National League isn’t Major League Baseball. Yes, there is a clear advantage to pitching against eight hitters versus a nine man lineup that includes the DH. But […]
I enjoyed watching Old Timers’ Day on the YES Network. There was an obvious Mets flavor to the festivities as Darryl Strawberry, Lee Mazzilli, David Cone, and Dwight Gooden. A few of the guys look like they could still play. Jeff Nelson was actually throwing pretty hard and, of course, there was the home run […]
Want to get your juices flowing for Old Timers’ Day at the Stadium later today? Check out this video with highlights from last year’s festivities. It includes interviews with Cecil Fielder, Ron Blomberg, Rick Cerone, Nick Swisher, Bob Turley, and Jerry Coleman. *** Davey Johnson tells a story about how he got the last hit […]
via It’s Always Sunny in Detroit and Bob’s Blitz. Last night, there was a rain delay during the College World Series game between Vanderbilt and Florida. The grounds crew took it upon themselves to entertain the crowd. This might be the best in stadium rain delay entertainment I have ever seen. Of course, Mets fans […]
On Friday, Washington Wizards guard John Wall threw out this embarrassing first pitch before the National took on the Orioles. It conjured up memories of a first pitch that I was in attendance for: Gary Dell’Abate aka Bababooey from the Howard Stern Show at a Mets game in 2009. I also remember comedian Chris Rock […]
One of the early stories for the Yankees is the visibly empty seats at the Stadium. I experienced this on Saturday when I took in the game against Detroit. Despite the fact it was a paid crowd of 41,462 it appeared to be more in the low thirties. There were also reports that tickets for […]
I always like to link up websites that are good resources for baseball fans. One of the many goals this site is to give fans things that I believe will enhance their experience watching the local teams. Spring Training is 13 weeks away, but some of you may be preparing for a baseball road trip this […]
I found this video over at Sports Grid It’s the preparation of Yankee Stadium for the Army/Notre Dame Game. Also, check out the unique configuration of Wrigley Field for the Northwestern/Illinois game. There is only one end zone due to concerns because the brick wall was too close to the east end zone. What happens […]
Yankee fans should be extremely happy with the vituperative comments made Monday by Rangers CEO Charles “Chucky Schmucky” Greenberg. That’s right, happy. Why you ask? Well, before I go any further, I want to let everyone know that I have not lost my mind, and no, I am not on drugs. The simple truth is that, by running his mouth off, Greenberg gave the Yankees even […]
I find it astonishing that Yankees fans take exception to the comments by Chuck Greenberg regarding their behavior during the ALCS. “I think our fans have been great,” Texas Rangers’ CEO Chuck Greenberg said on the “Ben and Skin Show” on 103.3 KESN. “I think particularly in Game 3 of the World Series they just […]
Crowd is really loud tonight here at the Bank Every postseason crowd has been better than #Yankees crowd, except maybe Atlanta Chop-ers #MLBless than a minute ago via TweetDeckKevin KernanNYPost_Kernan Great point by Kevin Kernan, as he tweets from Citizens Bank Park. I haven’t been live to any stadium this postseason, but I found the […]
After watching Josh Hamilton use the friendly Yankee Stadium right field porch to his advantage, I said he would benefit from playing his home games at the Stadium. Jon Heyman had this to say last night as well if josh hamilton played home games at yankee stadium (and could last a full season), hed hit […]
