Chien-Ming Wang's Extended Spring

Chien-Ming Wang has been everything but good so far this season. He's singularly lost three games for the Yankees through fifteen games. So naturally the Yankees do not want to pitch him against the rival Red Sox and are going to skip his start. So if you're not doing anything for a week in the big leagues what does an MLB pitcher do? Apparently go down to Florida and throw 7 innings. Huh?

So let me get this straight. You can be on the active 25 man roster and both not be on the team but actually start games for a different team within the organization. That must have been a solid pitch. He Wang, you suck, go to Tampa and start against some little leaguers and then maybe we'll bring you back or maybe we'll just put you on the DL and bring up someone that doesn't have an ERA of 34.

The worst part of all of this nonsense is that not only did he have to go down to Tampa and pitch against scrubs, but he still managed to give up 5 runs in 7 innings. And to prove he was facing scrubs, Wang struckout 11 batters through 7. Wang has never struckout 11 batters in his 5 year career in the big leagues.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
