As April draws to a close, the New York Yankees find themselves 15-7, 1.5 games behind the first-place Tampa Bay Rays. It was a good month for the Yankees, especially considering the slow start last year. So far, we've seen some really good, promising things. We've also seen some not-so-good things. So what are the positives and negatives? Shall we?     The Positives   1) Robinson Cano Since he was a rookie, Yankee fans have been talking ...

2010 is here, and the Yankees are on a roll! The Bronx Bombers are 4 series into the season, winning all of them. There have been a lot of positives so far, but I want to focus in on one. This may be the one that gets fans excited. We've been waiting for him to start swinging the bat, and lo and behold, here he is! The mystery pinstriper is.......Brett Gardner! Yankee fans have ...

Dear Passionate Baseball Fans, Okay. I'm going to say this point blank: Barry Bonds is the biggest cheater there ever was. There you go. Let's rewind. Early in his career, Bonds was great. The skinny guy was ripping homers and stealing bases like crazy. He was one of the greatest in the game. But has he came to San Francisco, he bulked up. As said in the book Game of Shadows, it prompted the question: ...

It was a great day for the Yankees. They got their rings, and were up big on the Angels going into the ninth. That's when David Robertson came in to pitch. Last year, young Robertson was very effective out of the pen, going 2-1 with 63 strikeouts. A good fastball and a great curve make Robertson an ideal guy that you would want coming out of the pen. But then again, everyone has those days. You ...

He's got no range. Not an accurate arm. Getting too old. I hear it all the time. It makes me sick. Derek Jeter is always either adored or hated. Those haters keep inventing new stuff to make him look bad. Well here's my say. First off, I'm not even going to use stats, because Jeter's stats aren't even half of what he is to a team. We'll start with the physical game. I'll make this clear right now, ...

Welcome to the 13th edition of "Daily Random Sports Thoughts!" For those not familiar, I pick a team, player, or any other topic in sports that I have five random thoughts about. If you like 'em, read 'em! I try to get them on here every day! Today's lucky random sports topic is...PIE! 1) Who cares about AJ Burnett's record? We should have him under contract just for slappin' guys in the face with pie! ...

In recent years, Orioles fans have had some pretty tough years. They've lost. They've been mutilated. They've been downright embarrassed. I've seen some very devoted fans from that Orioles organization, and I kind of feel sorry for them—especially since I'm a Yankees fan (I bet a lot of people will stop reading now). But I watched them play a good Tampa Bay Rays team, and they didn't look too bad. Sure, they lost two out ...

Jason Heyward is a monster. He's a stud. He's a beast. Heck, his first at-bat was a bomb that hit off the back of the Braves' bullpen. But last night in a 2-0 loss to the Cubs, it didn't look too good. Heyward went 0-for-4, and he looked pretty bad to me, especially in his last at-bat, when he faced Carlos Marmol in the bottom of the ninth. The sequence was pretty simple. Slider down and ...
