Tom Verducci: Currently Enemy #1

This guy comes out a month after the actual story with a few new quotes that only he has and now once again A-Rod is a hot topic. Ugh, way to waste countless hours of my sports talk radio listening on the same Arod topic that was boring to talk about almost the immediate second it started.

Verducci while being interviewed on Mike & Mike this morning, admitted that the majority of the quotes he recieved for this article were amidst Arod's major slump, which was a full month ago. I don't care about Giambi's quotes or Arod's quote. Giambi along with every other Yankee said that Arod needed to perform. And Arod made the typical, speak before I open my mouth statement.

We get it, Arod is a loner, he doesn't have a ton of friends on the team. He's a private guy who has a better personality for a individual sport like golf than a team sport like baseball. We get this we've known this, its old news, now the opening remarks on all New York Sports radio talk shows as well as segments on PTI, Around the Horn, Sportscenter, etc. will resolve around an old issue which I am completely sick of listening to.

Thanks Tom, for publishing something a month late, with a few interesting quotes to revive a dead story.

While you're at it lets get some quotes about Barry Bonds sucking down horse testosterone or Pete Rose at the track so we can discuss those like their new.

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...
