Long time no see. Me that is.

Just read a blog by Jon Lane. My favorite.

His title “End of the Fellowship” is right on the money. In my eyes, the true baseball magic that our core 4 had all those years is no longer there. Was gone even before postseason began. And I, for one, blame Jeter, Posada and Girardi. There were no sparks, no emotions, no memories. Even Cano was not smiling which i...

But I had some time to plug myself back into the baseball field and when I read about Jackie’s legacy honor displayed all through the major league yesterday – I had goose-bumps.

It’s an honor to have an active #42 amongst our players. An h...

In the dugouts, on the field, in one of the 162 Legends seats, in the bleachers, anywhere else in the stands. And millions of us – watching the home season opener at home.

The whole thing started way earlier than today’s 1p.m. playing time.

I, for one, had Bernie William’s CD playing in the background all the way b/4 his ceremonial first pitch. I am ecstatic to see him being recognized as part o...

ESPN New York. 9:30 a.m. April 11, 2010.

Ryan interviewing John.

Yesterday’s game. What was said after.

ESPN - Joe Girardi said that Shoppach would have been CC’s last batter no matter what.

John Flaherty – does “not believe him”. ....

I am talking about a bizarre story I heard on ESPN yesterday. Mike and Mike in the morning.

Though we did lose, as we do most of the time right after playing the Red Sox. Balloon bursts following all the tension of the rivalry. Enough written about it. Why repeat meaningless statistics ?  And they are, at this point of the “almost virgin” season.

Dam it!!! I said NO! How on Earth am I dragged into this discussion? Reaction to the reaction to the reaction.

Why would anybody camp out for 8 hours on the golf course in Augusta?

I do not think it’s a pure golf fan who does it. They e...

I liked what “Walk the line” director James Mangold said about the movie’s title and the name of the song that inspired it. Johnny (JT to the family with it being not an abbreviation but a full name commonly given in the 30s) Cash was...

Just as CC Sabathia did not have it in the first one, AJ Burnett was not his best on April 6^th. Our offense scored enough  runs in both games to put 1-0 for each pitcher. Was not in the cards for CC and Yankees the first time around; was not in the cards for AJ but we pulled it off (with Aceves being the pitcher for the winning record. Here we go again – Ace, uninterrupted by the off season...

We are in the bottom of the second inning right now.

But I want to talk about the first.

It seemed that in the bottom of it all went wrong (again) between AJ Burnett and Jorge Posada.

Not so fast, my friends!

The throwing error on Posada was definitely a huge mistake that nobody (at least our “3 commentating musketeers” –  Michael Kay, Ken Singleton and Al Leiter) noticed. Yeah, Jorge threw of...

And for some reason the first sentence of the game coverage was “from Baltimore” with it not being edited even during WB Mason encore on Yes (told you - I am watching it once in a while) . Why?  Maybe everybody wished they we...
