Using a new social media tool called Storify, I’ve been able to aggregate your comments on Twitter easily and present them to the rest of my followers easily and elegantly.
I can also include Facebook comments, YouTube videos and much more. Pretty cool, I think.
Based on my several responses from Yankees fans, it seems Pettitte certainly is a borderline Hall of Famer. I think the key to his case …

One of the things I find oddly endearing about Alex Rodriguez is his terminal awkwardness. Even when he’s doing something that should be totally cool, he still manages to look goofy. It kind of humanizes him, in a weird way. And no matter what he does, somebody will always, always, bring up Derek Jeter and say that Jeter would never do whatever A-Rod did.
Like when A-Rod was sitting in a …

The Yankees don’t start playing games again until February 26, but spring training officially starts in just seven days when pitchers and catchers will report to Tampa. I can’t wait.

The majority of my readers agree with me! I’m surprised only 25 percent stuck up for Derek Jeter to hit leadoff, but I’m glad to see people supporting Brett Gardner.
A family friend reiterated an important point in the comments of a post about this poll: Gardner led the Yankees in on-base percentage last season. That has to be a key statistic Joe Girardi uses in …

This video of Cameron Diaz feeding Alex Rodriguez popcorn at the Super Bowl is excellent. Of course, it happened when I went outside to pick up the wings my friends and I ordered.

For the first time, the Red Sox hired a full-time scout to seek out and evaluate ‘Negro talent’… they hired Ed Scott, an outfielder with the former Indianapolis Clowns of the old Negro Leagues.

A baseball game goes for at least 9 innings per day. At times, a relief pitcher is needed to come into the game.  Each pitcher in the bullpen can serve in a different role.
The pitchers that should make up the Yankees pen this year include: Joba Chamberlain, David Robertson, Pedro Feliciano , Boone Logan, Rafael Soriano, and Mariano Rivera.  The remaining(s) spots can come from Sergio Mitre, Andrew Brackman, …

Late in the first quarter of SuperBowl XLV, the camera flashed New York Yankees Alex Rodriguez sitting with his girlfriend Cameron Diaz. Diaz was feeding A-Rod popcorn at the moment, and FOX’s Joe…

ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick grades the off-season moves of the five AL East teams:
Red Sox: A
[Adrian Gonzalez] should be a lock to hit 40-plus homers provided his surgically repaired shoulder is healthy. As a bonus, he’ll make a mere $5.5 million this year — or $500,000 more than shortstop Marco Scutaro.
Blue Jays: A-
Orioles: B
Rays: B-
Yankees: D+
When the offseason highlight is general manager Brian Cashman rappelling down the side of a 22-story …

The Green Bay Packers have won Super Bowl 45, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31-25 in a very entertaining contest. What a way to end the football season. So my prediction didn’t go as expected. Oh well. I had no vested interest in either team winning.
Congratulation to all Packer Nation and the cheeseheads out there. They fought hard to get to the game and the victory was well deserved.
As for …

Via Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe:

There is a salary hang-up, with Millwood still asking too much for some teams’ liking at this late stage of free agency. The Mets, Yankees, and Indians are keeping an eye on him.

Kevin Millwood, who is represented by Scott Boras, is reportedly asking for at least $4-$5 million. That is a ton for a pitcher who has had an ERA north of 5.00 …

The most overblown annual sporting event is tonight, and I can guarantee you it wouldn’t be nearly as hyped up if the NFL champion was decided in seven games like baseball’s World Series. 
The idea of adding a second wild card to both the American and National Leagues would create an opportunity for a one-game playoff. The two wild cards from both leagues would square off in one game (ideally …

I am in the midst of a series examining the relative strengths and weaknesses of the teams in the AL East, on a position-by-position basis. The players at each position are being ranked in relation to their peers within the division, with each team being assigned points based on where their player ranks in comparison to the other players. Today, the series continues with a look at the third basemen.

The Red Sox have signed left-handed reliever Dennys Reyes to a minor league contract. The well-traveled Reyes has played for 10 teams in 14 seasons (none in the AL East, though) and will turn 34 in April.
Alex Speier remembers when the Red Sox made a 4/52 offer to free agent Andy Pettitte after the 2003 season. Pettitte did leave the Yankees that winter, signing with the Astros. … Meanwhile:

The Red Sox were due to open Spring Training on March 5th, but Ft Myers homeowner Angela Grome refused to move from her house because she was unsatisfied with the $55,000 being offered by the city for her home. She was one of 173 families that were displaced by the city during construction of City of Palms Park (and its associated facilities)… her home sat on the proposed location …

With the Yankees’ success over most of the last two decades, there are many fans who don’t know what it was like to have a sub-.500 season.
Going into 1993, the Yankees had suffered through four consecutive losing seasons. 1992 saw a new manager and some improvement, notably in discipline and the way the Yankees went about their business. But it was still a losing season nonetheless.
Although Don Mattingly was there …

Neon Deion Sanders was elected to the NFL Hall of Fame today. Unknown to many is the fact that Prime Time was originally an outfield prospect for the Yankees.
Sanders was taken by the Yankees in the 30th round of the 1988 amateur draft. He was rushed through the minor leagues and made his major league debut on May 31, 1989.
Over the course of two seasons with the Yankees he played …
