Robinson Cano is "movin' on up." He batted fifth in the lineup of yesterday's  Spring Training game, a lineup which Joe Girardi says most closely resembles the lineup he'll use on Opening Day.

If Cano will indeed bat fifth this year, the pressure will be on him to do better than he did last year...

]]> 0 Torii Hunter: Bad Choice Of Words, Right Idea [From www.ladybatting.com]

The Angels' Torii Hunter is under fire for comments he made to USA Today recently, in which he called dark-skinned Latino players "imposters." I couldn't believe it when I heard about it. I don't know Torii Hunter but I can't see him saying something like that.

Well, let's take a look at what he actually said:

]]> 0 Like Sugar, Game 2 Is Sweet From Lady At The Bat

The World Series features the best players in the world going after one of the most prestigious prizes in all of sports. Only about 700 men are blessed with enough talent to even have the slightest reason to believe that their Fall Classic dreams can become a reality. For AJ Burnett and the Yankees last night, reality got a little better, as they won Game 2. I am sure it was sweet as sugar.

]]> 0 These Are Not The 2004 Yankees From Lady At The Bat

Ladies and gentlemen, meet your 2009 American League Champions, the New York Yankees.

After the Yankees won the ALCS last night 4 games to 2, it was pretty clear that these are not your 2004 "choke's on us" Yankees. Actually it was clear before that, but for Yankee fans, it probably was hard to see the proverbial forest for the trees.

The trees in this case would...

Last night the Yankees played their last game at Angel Stadium for the year 2009.  The West Coast Chamber of Horrors has been closed down until next season (as far as the Yankees are concernesd. It remains to be seen whether the Phillies will set foot inside.).

With the exceptions of that last regular season series and giant trump card CC Sabathia, the Yankees never seem to get ahead against the Angels i...

]]> 0 Yanks Head To Disney Up 2-0: Is It A Small World After All? From Lady At The Bat:

Thanks, in part, to miscues by the thought-to-be fundamentally-sound Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, the Yankees head to Anaheim up 2-0 in the 2009 ALCS. Andy Pettitte will be on the mound, trying to give his team a commanding 3-0 lead. If they win, I hope they'll be no fooling around by Joe Girardi. Just plug CC Sabathia in for game 4, Joe,  and wrap the dar...

]]> 0 What If Rush Limbaugh Bought The New York Yankees? Rush Limbaugh has been dropped from a group of investors seeking to buy an NFL franchise. When I first learned that he was part of this group I wasn't sure what to think. I'm not much of a football fan, so it was hard for me to form an opinion on the matter. But then I started to think about it terms of baseball, and it was much easier to decide.

How about you? What would you think if Rush Limbaugh was part of a group of investors who bought the New York Yankees? Assuming you ar...
