Bud Selig Meets Bill Lumbergh
I expect the issue of the first responder caps will go away soon, if it hasn't already. I am totally okay with it going away, as I feel it detracts from the Mets' ceremonies on the 10th anniversary of 9/11, which I found generally well done and at times moving. And yet, the whole thing remains so...
Braves Graph of the Day: Bobby Cox Is Worth 1000 Words
I know we're all disappointed about what happened last night (or rather, what didn't happen). Let's just try to keep in mind that today is a day of celebration, and that we're still in the driver's seat. In that vein, I present to you this graph. I know a graph can't really sum up Bobby Cox's...
Braves Stats of the Day: The Greatness of Bobby Cox
I figured I'd get Bobby Cox Weekend started off a little early with some fun comparisons between Bobby and his most successful contemporaries. Below, I look at the six active managers other than Bobby (counting Lou Piniella as "active") with at least 1,000 wins, and see what they'd have to do to...

Yankees See Joe Torre Tonight
How will you feel tonight seeing former Yankee manager Joe Torre in the opposing dugout tonight? I always loved Torre, and after four World Series titles together I wish he and the Yankee brass could patch up their differences. He was part of a tremendous era of Yankee baseball, and should be...
No Dodgers in the Series? Bummer!
It is hard to be disappointed about anything when your team is one victory from getting to the World Series, but ... I can't help but be a little bummed that if and when the New York Yankees get there the team on the other side will be the Philadelphia Phillies rather than the Los Angeles...
Is Don Mattingly Under Consideration As The Washington Nationals' Next Skipper?
After a 14-year career at first base with the New York Yankees, Don Mattingly came out of retirement to become the Yanks' hitting coach at the request of Yankees' owner George Steinbrenner in 2004, but according to New York Times' writer Tyler Kepner's October 24, 2007 article entitled, "Mattingly...

Around the Yankee Universe: Getting back in the saddle
Hey, look -- it's a New York Yankee notebook! I have been busy most of the past month covering New York Giants' training camp for Big Blue View. Now that the Giants have broken camp and gone back to New Jersey, though, I will be here more often. So, let's get started with a look around the Yankee...
