So, I decided I would “live tweet” my thoughts while watching Game 2 of the Worlds Series. Except I didn’t tweet my thoughts, I wrote them down and will be putting them here. I wish I thought of this before Game 1. I’ll probably do this for the rest of the Series. Here’s what went through my head during the game.

Update From Yankee Land

It has been exactly a month so we are long over due for a trip down to Yankee Land.  A lot has happened since last we visited, some good, some bad.  We will get into all of it but first I would like to personally thank the Baltimore Orioles for not running away with the division.  I can’t say for sure they did not bet on the Yankees to win the East.  As we stand of this writing the Yankees and Baltimore are tied atop the AL East.  The Yankees are 6 games ahead of the Red Sox who are the first team out of the playoffs.  Their Magic number to secure a playoff spot is down to 35.  Let’s get into how we got here.

The Yankees acquire Jazz Chisholm Jr.

by in sports, Uncategorized and tagged , , , , , , , | Leave a comment

The New York Yankees have made their first trade heading into the deadline.  They acquired OF/2B Jazz Chisholm Jr from the Marlins for 3 minor leaguers, C/1B Agustin Ramirez, INF Jared Serna, INF/OF Abrahan Ramirez.  My initial reaction is that I don’t love this trade, but I don’t hate it either.  Before I get into the reasons why, I want to point out that I can’t say I have seen Chisholm play a lot so I am going by stats mostly and my opinion of him may change once I get to watch him play day in and day out on the Yankees.  With that said, let’s get into it.

It has been another fortnight so it’s time to head back down to Yankee Land and see what’s going on with the Bronx Bombers.  Well, it hasn’t been good.  The free fall continues for the Yanks and things don’t look like they are turning around.  If there was ever a team that needed an All-Star break it is this one.  Well, let’s get into it.

All Things Yankee

by in sports, Uncategorized and tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , | Leave a comment

OK so I was going to write my next installment of Down on the Farm but I decided to make this an all-encumbering Yankee post instead.  It’s for two reasons.  1) There is a lot of stuff going on with the Yankees right now that I want to talk about.  And 2) Out of the 7 guys I have been following in the minors, 2 of them are hurt and one of them was called up to the Majors.  So I really only had 4 guys to write about.  I will do that at then end of this column after I cover what else there is to cover.  So, let’s dive in.

It’s been another fortnight since we last checked in with the New York Yankees.  It’s another Monday off day and there’s a lot going on right now so let’s head back down to Yankee Land and see what’s happening with the Bronx Bombers.  Since we last checked in the Yankees have gone 13-6 and are now 50-24 on the season.  Baltimore refuses to lose baseball games and has moved back into a tie for first place after the Yankees went into Boston and dropped two of three.  The Yankees are tied with Baltimore and the Dodgers for the best record in baseball (the Yanks have played and won 3 more games than the others two) but things are getting a bit shaky for the Boys in Pinstripes.  Let’s dive in.

Down On The Farm

I did not realize how long it has been since I did one of these.  It’s been way too long.  I really have to make it a more regular column.  With that said, it is time to check in with the boys down on the farm.  The Yankees minor leaguers who may not necessarily be their top prospects but are the ones I have chosen to follow this season.  I have actually added a couple of guys to the list from the last time.  We will stat with the five guys from the last column.

It’s that time again.  Time for another brand spanking new edition of my World Famous This and That column.  This version of the column is going to be heavily concerned with the New York Yankees and the San Fransisco 49ers.  There just happens to be a ton going on with these two teams right now.  So without further ado or gilding the lily, lets get into it.
