2008 NFL Draft Thoughts

By Jeff Kay • Apr 21st, 2008 • Category: Football

The offensive line needs the most help of any position on the Dolphins roster. Jake Long is an excellent right tackle and run blocker. Some day he isn’t up to the challenge of left tackle and that his pass blocking skills need work. Bill Parcells wants to run the ball, and Jake can help him do it.



Hank Being Hank

By Jeff Kay • Apr 21st, 2008 • Category: Baseball

Hank Steinbrenner: You don’t put Joba Chamberlain into the setup spot, “You have to be an idiot to do that.”
Brian Cashman: Joba Chamberlain is our setup guy for now.
Welcome to the wonderful world of the Yankees front office.
First of all, there is a hint of truth to what Hank is saying. Joba should be a [...]



Tough Road Ahead For Girardi

By Jeff Kay • Apr 20th, 2008 • Category: Baseball

I don’t envy Joe Girardi. He’s in a tough spot - one of the most closely scrutinized manager positions in all of baseball. He’s been given a team with a huge payroll and huge expectations to win. Unfortunately, he’s also been given the task of helping the rebuilding process, bringing young talent along while simultaneously [...]

By Jeff Kay • Apr 15th, 2008 • Category: Baseball

The New York Times is reporting that Latroy Hawkins will give up wearing number 21 and will switch to wearing number 22.
Hawkins has been booed for choosing to wear 21, a number some Yankee fans think should be revered for former Yankee Paul O’Neill.

Earlier this week the Yankees dug up the mysterious shirt that was buried in the cement at the new Yankee stadium. It turned out to be a David Ortiz t-shirt. Big Papi, who has been slumping horribly, was given yesterday off and returned to the lineup tonight. This was his first game since the article [...]



Yanks Lose 2 of 3

By Jeff Kay • Apr 14th, 2008 • Category: Baseball

Things started out well for the New York Yankees but then slowly started going downhill.
Chien-Ming Wang was dominating in his 2-hit complete game on Friday evening as the Bombers won 4-1. Clay Buchholz pitched a very respectable game for Boston, but his performance couldn’t match Wang’s. Boston had to go to Timlin, Okajima, Lopez and [...]



Should Joe Have Pitched to Manny?

By Jeff Kay • Apr 13th, 2008 • Category: Baseball

The Yankees lost to the Red Sox last night in a close game. The pivotal inning was the bottom of the 6th. With two outs and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Manny Ramirez is up to face Mike Mussina. Joe Girardi comes to the mound to have a discussion with his starter and decides to [...]



Baseball Trivia - Fewest Pitches in a CG

By Jeff Kay • Apr 11th, 2008 • Category: Baseball

Watching Chien Ming Wang pitch a very economical game against the Red Sox made me wonder who actually held the record for the fewest number of pitches thrown in a complete game (of at least 9 innings).
The answer?
58 pitches by Charles “Red” Barrett on August 10th, 1944 in a 2-0 win for Barrett’s Boston Braves [...]
