Tom Fratamico, of El Guapo’s Ghost, joins Fire Brand… With Opening Night tomorrow pitting arguably Major League Baseball’s most heated rivalry and two best teams, the seemingly around-the-clock sports media coverage has dissected the match up from nearly...

Our rivals/enemies/counterparts 210 miles to the South came out with their own bit of news on the heels of CC Sabathia’s poor 2 inning performance today (who cares if it’s spring stats, it’s still fun to say!). With the contracts of future Hall of...

Jason Bay and Kevin Youkilis have got that BOOM BOOM POW. In the bottom of the ninth, Bay launched a two-run home run to center field off of Mariano Rivera with two outs tying the game at 4-4. After David Ortiz struck out swinging to start the 11th inning, Youkilis...

With the news that uber-closer Jonathan Papelbon has signed a record-breaking $6.25 million contract in his first year of arbitration, it’s clear that Papelbon has to be considered one of, if not the, best closer in the game now. But how long will that last?...
by shawn medeiros | Jul 15, 2008 | Jonathan Papelbon, Mariano Rivera
Jonathan Papelbon feels he should pitch the ninth inning of the All-Star game. Earlier today though, Papelbon has turned that statement around saying Mariano Rivera deserves the right to close out the ninth. I like Papelbon’s mentality in that he wanted the ball...

Much like this year’s political campaigns, Yankee fans want change. Ever since the Luis Gonzalez bloop single fell into shallow left field, ending the Yankee reign atop the baseball world, the franchise has seemingly never been the same. And ǃ˙never been the...
