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 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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
