TOAD: July 31st, 2007: Thanks to Mo organizing an ITP Past and Present group outing to Yankee Stadium, Karen and I were able to enjoy our first game of the year in person. For those who don’t remember, this was one of the games where A-Rod was stuck on 499 home runs so every time [...]

Surprise, surprise, I’m not super excited for this series. Gabe brings up a good point though - the matchups are good and its really time for the Yankees to do SOMETHING. Joel Sherman pens what I think is the first not completely pessimistic article about the Yanks in weeks. Anyway, they got me in a [...]

The Yankees have dug themselves quite a hole and need to start showing that they’re not the team we’ve seen over the first 2 months of the season. They managed to win 1 against the Mets over the weekend and honestly, a sweep in this series is really the only thing that would be enough [...]

TOAD: April 25th, 2007: Karen and I were supposed to head to Yankee Stadium last night to see the Yanks take on the Blue Jays. This was particularly exciting since we were going to get to see Andy Pettitte back in pinstripes. For the second time this year our best intentions were foiled, this time [...]

TOAD: April 7th, 2007: On Friday Karen, Gabe, Carin and I were supposed to head up to Yankee Stadium and catch some early season baseball between the Yankees and the Orioles. I love getting up to the Stadium early in the year but the weather this season has taken some of the luster off the [...]

TOAD: April 2nd, 2007: One of my favorite days of the year: Opening Day. This year’s Yankee team is ripe with questions - mostly related to their starting pitching. It’s my feeling that if they can just stay healthy (they don’t even have to be great), the offense and bullpen will take care of the [...]

The Yankees bring back an old old favorite (34 yrs old, so not that old) for 1 year + an option. Deatils on the contract to come but that looks good so faro me.. Hope the elbow is solid and you know this means we’re in for months of “does that mean Roger Clemens will [...]

That’s right. The Yankees and Red Sox are going to fight through 5 games between Friday and Monday, starting off with a day/night doubleheader on Friday. For the past couple of months I have maintained that we will have a much clearer idea of the way things stand after this weekend’s series. There are some [...]
