I can't imagine Alex Rodriguez is enjoying himself very much right now. Although the Yankees pounded out 15 hits last night to punish the Orioles 12-7, the Yankee 3B went 0 for 5. It's a frustrating feeling watching your teammates pile on the hits while y...

If at the start of the Stanley Cup Finals you asked the Chicago Blackhawks whether they'd be satisfied returning home for Game 6 with a 3-2 games lead, I'm fairly certain they'd have eagerly accepted it . . .

Raise your hand if you were surprised that Vitali Klitschko stopped Albert Sosnowski on Saturday in Germany. Now raise your hand if you knew who Sosnowski was prior to the fight . . .

Shame on you if you were hoodwinked into believing that Yankees P Javier Vazquez had turned a corner with his impressive performance against the Mets last week. Yankee fans knew better than to be duped by that tease. Vazquez returned to the mound last nig...

"The Fat Toad" has apparently been overindulging in the saki. Former Yankees pitcher Hideki Irabu was arrested for alleged drunk driving in Los Angeles. I guess I would have started drinking too if I was as big a pitching disappointment as he was . . .
