It’s settled – The New York Yankees will be taking on the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2009 World Series!! To avoid any inter-office fist fights, we’re going to avoid taking a stance on who we’re rooting for. So instead, we’ll cover this one in the best way we know how – with super hot chicks! To get you started on some pre-game action, here are the hottest WAGs of the 2009 World Series.   (more…)

The Arizona Diamondbacks have just officially signed free agent pitcher Jon Garland.  Garland will now step into his comfortable number-three hole to balance a top-heavy staring rotation featuring Brandon Webb and Dan Haren.  Given his previous postseason success with the 2005 champion Chicago White Sox, he adds another dimension to this team aching to get back to the World Series for the first time since 2001.

But is the Garland signing enough?  Sure, Garland is solid.  In the hitter-friendly American League, Garland has posted a career mark of 106-89 with a 4.47 ERA.  Most notable about Garland is his consistency and unflappable calm on the hill during pressure situations, as he has made at least 32 starts and pitched 191 innings in each of his last seven seasons.

New York Yankees pitcher Mike Mussina is calling it quits after a brilliant 18-year career.  Sure, the Moose very well might take his 270 career victories, 17 consecutive seasons with 11 or more wins, and 2,813 strikeouts to the Hall of Fame one day; but for Yankee fans, it is a time to consider that this could be the end of a relatively dark era in recent memory because of one pivotal decision gone wrong.

The Yanks were winners of three-straight titles, four of the past five, and entered the winter after the 2000 season with intent to go for the jugular.  With two prized free agents available, the Yanks knew they had to make the right choice to stay on top.

They then signed the number-one pitcher available over the number-one hitter available – Moose over Manny. (more…)

The Fall Classic has finally arrived.  After 162 regular season games and two rounds of playoff action, Major League Baseball is down to its final two teams: The Philadelphia Phillies and the Tampa Bay Rays.  Now it doesn’t surprise a lot of people that the Phillies have returned to the World Series, but the Rays?!?!

Yes, the Tampa Bay Rays won the American League Pennant.  Both teams got here with tremendous pitching and clutch work coming out of the bullpen.  Both teams have the ability to hit the cover off of the ball.  Here is a breakdown of what to expect this World Series: (more…)

Forgive me for going on a tangent over the national pastime – but every time we advance into a new round of the baseball post-season we are subjected to watching baseball teams wearing goggles and running around the locker room pouring champagne and beer over everybody.  Now this is a terrific event when your team wins the CHAMPIONSHIP – but when you win the AL Wild Card? (more…)

Twelve Years ago, Joe Torre became the manager of the New York Yankees and guided them to the pinnacle of the baseball world in only his first season at the helm.  When Charlie Hayes made the final out in Game 6 of the 1996 World Series, the Yankees won the world championship for the first time in 18 years. (more…)

Since the end of 2003, the Red Sox have won two World Series championships, while the Yankees haven’t even made a return trip. We all know about the 2004 Red Sox and their triumph over the Yanks, coming back in the ALCS after being down three-games to one. However, what is interesting to look at how things have changed since 2003 as a direct result of how the Red Sox talent evaluators have fared much better head to head against the once-mighty Yanks.

Let’s take a closer look. (more…)

This Saturday marks the highly comical return of Carl Pavano to the decimated Yankee rotation.  With the Yanks sitting six games out of the Wild Card spot and just over a month to play, will he provide enough of a boost for the Bronx Bombers to reach the playoffs for the thirteenth consecutive year?  Or will he only provide enough to boost his own personal checking account this off-season?

The timing for Pavano’s latest comeback attempt is convenient enough to weasel yet another lucrative contract offer out of another team looking for starting pitching depth – something that all 30 teams are interested in.  If he comes on strong in the final five weeks of the season and shows flashes of returning to his 2004 form, will another team pay a hefty salary in hopes that he can anchor the number two or three spot in their rotation?

… but this time it is for a good cause.

He promised that he wouldn’t gamble again for a couple after running out on a $400K marker, but Charles Barkley is back playing poker in Vegas.

But here’s the rub -– the Round Mound says that it’s all for charity. [TMZ]

Barkey and other gambling addicted players will shell out $5K a piece to enter a celebrity poker tourney–the “Ante Up for Africa” event–at the 2008 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.

Half of all the winnings will go to charity. But being the ever so nice guy that he is, Chuck says he will donate all processed to the charity. That charity being, The Charles Barkley for Charles Barkley Foundation, we’re guessing.
