Obviously I have not been writing since November. There's not much I can add to the steriods thing or anyother "news" at this point. I will probably start back up in mid-February when pitchers and catchers return.

I want to go back to this article that I posted in the middle of October: The Great A-Rod DebateThis is sort of my "I told you so!" moment. With A-Rod finally coming back (I won't really believe it until I see "#13" tattooed on his back), it looks like his legacy will include all the perks that great Yankees deserve.It's arguable that no other team would bite at the $300M or $350M asking price for A-Rod. And that crawling back to the Yankees was his only option. Rumor has it that the Angels w... Read Full Story
I guess I was sort of wrong on Andy Pettitte. His opting out of his player option was obviously not a ploy to get more money out of the Yankees. It was simply to give himself time to evaluate his personal life and balance that with his professional life.Let's face it. The Yankees want him back. The fans want him back. Pettitte is still in great shape to pitch. I think he'll come back for at least one more year. In any case, he'll retire as a Yankee.There is an interesting story by Joe... Read Full Story

This is going to be short. Most of the reading I've done at the blogs and news sites show that it's pretty unanimous for the fans that we want Andy Pettitte back. He has said that it's the Yankees or retirement. And he's stated that he's wanted to retire for a few years now. But with him coming off a 15 win season, that could have easily been 19 or 20 wins if not for the teams (read that as shotty relief pitching) poor start. Undoubtedly he still has the stuff for the Bigs.One point that has... Read Full Story

I was all set to step up and make a post about what I thought Cashman needed to do to make 2008 a success. My thoughts, at the time, were to hire Mattingly as the manager and definitely re-sign the money grubbing, selfish, arrogant, in then end I only care about myself - A-Rod. But that part of my thinking is long (about 48 hours old) out the window.So now I feel like I've been tranported into some knind of strange alternate Yankees reality:1) Boston Red Sox win 2nd World Series in 3 years...
