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.

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…

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 …

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 …

I have to say: up until yesterday, I was still convinced Andy Pettitte was coming back for 2011. Maybe he would start a little late, but he’d come back. He was very effective last year when healthy, so it didn’t seem crazy to cut back on his workload – but retire? Nah. He’d at least pull a Clemens and come back for part of the season.
Well, obviously Pettitte has retired …

The Yanks have brought in veteran infielders Ronnie Belliard and Eric Chavez as non-roster invites to spring training. These are the type of low-risk moves the Yanks have been making this offseason.
Belliard, who was on that Cardinals ’06 World Series team, hit .216/.295/.327 with a 72 OPS+ in 82 games for the Dodgers last year. Ronnie, who will be 36 in April, hit .277/.325/.451 with a 104 OPS+ for the …

Yanks bringing in veterans Ronnie Belliard and Eric Chavez as non-roster invites. No cost moves. Backup IF help a must, worth a shot.

Chavez, 33, was once one of the better hitters and defenders in all of baseball, but those days are long behind him. Now he barely stays healthy, can’t hit, and hasn’t played even 20 games in the field since 2007.
Since …

On the same day Andy Pettitte announced his retirement, the Yankees picked up a player who could help the team this season.
Ronnie Belliard and the Yankees agreed to a minor-league deal, according to Enrique Rojas, in which he can earn up to $825,000 plus incentives if he makes the Yankees.
Belliard will challenge Ramiro Pena and Eduardo Nunez in spring training …

Belliard, 37 in April, has a career OPS+ of 96 and is coming off a 2010 season where he had just a .622 OPS. He plays mainly first, second, and third bases, but he does have limited experience at shortstop as well. He’s about league average …

So, I watched Andy Pettitte announce his retirement today.  A class act. Some thoughts:
One of the big questions was whether or not he will stay retired. Will he come back and pitch at some point? He did utter the three magic words, “Never say never.”   I’ll bet those words end up on the back page of at least one newspaper tomorrow. But anyway, something else he said makes me think …
