]]> 0 Has Twitter Become A Danger To Journalistic Professionalism?                 The emergence of Twitter has been revolutionary for me.  As an avid sports fanatic, I am someone who is open to talking sports 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  However, aside from my father and brother, there are not too many fellow sports fans in my life.  Most of my friends and family members loosely follow sports or do not follow them at all.  Thankfully, Twitter has dramaticall...

]]> 0 Mid-Season Wrap-Up I can’t believe the All-Star break is already here.  It seems like just yesterday we were on Cliff Lee Watch, mourning the end of Andy Pettitte’s career (miss you, Andy), and endlessly refreshing our twitter feeds for all the latest hot stove updates.  The season started off on a strange note, with Tampa and Boston getting off to epically slow starts, but has turned into the AL East showdown that we all expected.  The Yankees finished the first half at a respecta...

]]> 0 Opening Day Predictions Offseason over.  Spring training over.  We’ve spent the last five months overanalyzing trades, waiting on Cliff Lee’s decision, shedding tears after Andy’s retirement announcement, debating the Gardner versus Jeter leadoff spot discussion, arguing over who deserves the #4 and #5 pitching spots, and just generally feeding our baseball withdrawal any way possible.  Now, it’s finally time. The official 2011 Major League Baseball season starts in 24 hours...

]]> 0 Thank you, Andy                I remember watching Andy Pettitte pitch this summer against the Blue Jays.  It was July 3, 2010 and unbeknownst to me at the moment, it would be the last time I saw Andy take the mound in person.  It was a beautiful summer day and fans were still living off the high of the 2009 season as Andy pitched to his tenth win – a solid two weeks before the All-Star break.  Everything was p...

]]> 0 Cashman, Yankees If you’re smart, you’ve avoided social media this winter and went about your business as usual.  The offseason can be long enough without daily tirades from fans that do nothing but complain.  Unfortunately, chances are you’re a lot like me – immersed in this new social media world where everyone is a self-proclaimed sports expert.  If that’s the case, then my condolences to you, your ears, and your blood pressure.

]]> 0 Rant about the payroll complaints. Sports Illustrated writer, Jon Heyman, just tweeted one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen so I’ve decided to take to my blog about perhaps the ultimate hot-button issue in Major League Baseball: the New York Yankees’ payroll.

Sidebar: Heyman basically said Yankee fans have no right suggesting/complaining that Cliff Lee might be cheating with his dirty hat because the Yankees payroll is so high.  How does this even make sense?  And also, I thin...

]]> 0 About the losing streak. The Yankees did a complete 360 this week, going from winning 7 in a row to losing 7 of 8.  Actually, if it wasn’t for Nick Swisher’s walkoff homerun, the Yanks would be looking at an 8 game losing streak.  The fact that these losses have been against potential playoff matchups and division rivals has made it even tougher to swallow.  Many of my Twitter followers have entered into full crisis mode.  My “tweeps” are venting, arguing, and even fight...
