Shenanigans with the concrete at Yankee Stadium- And more about that concrete can be found here
- Someone thinks the Yanks should walk away from Jeter if he’s only about the money. Here’s hoping neither happens
- Don Hooton and the Taylor Hooton Foundation strike deal with owner of BuySteroids.com
- Talk about swinging an “axe”! And if Buhner likes it, count me in… unless it splinters worse than the maple bats!
- Edwar Ramirez DFA’d. I wish he could control his pitches ‘cuz his K-rate was just so good. Alas, he’ll find a home somewhere soon, no doubt
- Out of my cold dead hands. We discussed him a bit on Thursday, too!
- Which might be sooner than later if this guy can improve his defense
- ARod’s off-season is so different than last year, ain’t it? I mean, this happens and not even a whisper. Of course, there will probably be a lawsuit for whiplash, but no media backlash.
- Lotsa hype for the Yanks’ second baseman this Spring. [I'll say this, if Kevin Long can "cure" Cano's RISP and Grandy's "success" against LHP, he deserves a major raise]
- Numberology, RedSox style
- Stealing 101 class, now in session. What I wouldn’t give to just “audit” this course…
- Sunday notes from camp
- So can he sit and rest without getting hurt?
- Remember when everyone wanted to be like Tiger or be associated with? Now, not so much (but this for reasons different than you’re thinking)
- Beckett defied the “it’s about the money” mantra before; can he do it again? Will he, however?
- There are worse jobs than being Jeter’s understudy
- Nightmare fuel: Hinske’s completely tattoo’d back
- Time to trade Ryan Howard?
- Revenue sharing alive and well, thank you very much
- Woe is not MLB
It’s been quite the weekend for me. A two day blizzard started Thursday. Took me forever to get home and nearly as long to get into my driveway. Big birthday for me on Friday. If you’re going to be snowed in, it’s nice to have it on your birthday. Except we had no power from Thursday night until Saturday afternoon (after ConEd told us we’d be powerless until this coming Tuesday night @ 11pm). Spent Friday with friends, including others who were still without power. A better day than I anticipated. Despite the lack of heat, we stayed in our place Friday night, aided by a nice glowing fireplace. Woke up Saturday to 50 degree room temps. Spent the day with other friends (who had wonderful heat!) and a great dinner out with a larger group Saturday night to help me ring in my birthday. And Syracuse waxed ‘Nova to finish off the evening. Some fun in the snow today, followed by two basketball games, the gold medal hockey game and suddenly, it’s time to think about the week ahead.
As you can probably tell, I didn’t get to much online reading and stuff. Thankfully, some of you were good enough to keep me in the loop via email. Thanks and thanks for the birthday wishes, too!
Here are some of the things of note this weekend in baseball-land, some of which you have seen and others maybe not:
