Maybe there’s no material greater prevalance of of domestic abuse in sports than in the rest of society*, but it’s something I will never, ever understand. Latest @#$%^&* to get caught, former Yankee/Twin Chuck Knoblauch:
Former major leaguer Chuck Knoblauch has been charged with assaulting his common-law wife. … According to a criminal complaint, Knoblauch’s wife told police he hit her in the face and then choked her at their Houston home on Friday.
Seriously? Now, we’ve only heard her side of this so I’ll try to show some restraint, but there’s no excuse for hitting her or choking her, even if she instigated it or was the aggressor.

Peter Abraham, who is leaving the Journal News and the popular Lohud Yankees blog to jump to the Boston Globe, has finally anounced his replacement. Say what you will about Pete-Abe’s hatred of Alex Rodriguez and Patriot fandom, but the access and coverage he provided is unmatched. Pete-Abe, whose departure will leave a large (perhaps [...]
The writers here at TYU have discussed the Yankees’ postseason roster at various points over the last few weeks, and I will take another stab at it here. The final prediction will come after the Yankees complete their final game of the regular season. I believe that the Yankees should carry 14 hitters and 11 [...]
With the pressure off and the Royals in town, Girardi took the opportunity to give most of his starters a breather. Posada, in at DH, was the only veteran in the lineup and Cano, Melky and Gardner were the only other regulars to start. Still, this didn’t keep the Yankees from putting together an exciting game, as they continued their win streak with an 8-2 victory.
Robinson Cano started the bottom of the fourth by ripping a double to left. Posada singled him over to third and Hinske smacked a RBI single for the first run of the game. A solo homer by Mark Teahen in the top of the fifth tied the game at 1-1, but Ramiro Pena quickly put the Bombers back on top with his first major league homerun, which just made it over the fence in right.
The Royals were able to tie the game up again in the top of the sixth. Yuniesky Betancourt singled to left and Billy Butler doubled to center. A sac fly to right by Mike Jacobs made the score 2-2. Posada drove a double to left and moved to third when Hinske grounded out. Shelley Duncan followed with a single into left and the Yankees led 3-2. While that was enough for the win, the Pinstripes broke it open in the bottom of the seventh. Cervelli doubled to center and scored on Pena’s single. Pena then stole second. Gardner singled and Melky walked, loading the bases for Cano, who hit his second grand slam of his career, giving the Yanks the 8-2 lead.
