Whether you’re a Yankee fan or not you have to admit Nick Swisher is the man. His energy, charisma, philanthropy and love of the game are just what the Doctor Gooden ordered for baseball. However, those traits aren’t just confined to the field and personal appearances, they carry over to world of Twitter and Facebook as well. Recently, NBC called him a “social media superstar” and if you’ve been following Swish on those platforms, you know the dude’s always got something interesting to say or show. Read more about Swish and see his best twitpics after the jump!

For all Mets fans, baseball fans or sports fans who didn’t want to see the New York Yankees or Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series again, we can thank the Texas Rangers, San Francisco Giants and most importantly, the Baseball Gods.

If you watch ESPN round the clock like I do, you’ll know that walk off hit happen more frequently than a Lindsay Lohan probation violation. There’s at least 5-6 a night and they all end with a mosh-pit at home plate (unless you’re the Anaheim Angels) that screams “act like you’ve been there before.” But all bets are off in the playoff’s. You’re one out away from a fall full of golf. So…playoff walkoff’s….here’s eleven good ones.

If you’re a Yankees fan you could probably care less who they play, but if you’re a true fan of the game and everything that makes it great you will want the Rangers to meet them for the right to play in the World Series.

COED is known for two things: our love of popular strip clubs and our detective skills. Well last night combined them both when we realized that “Admirals,” the number one strip club in Chicago, has an ad that includes a White Sox stripper holding a Derek Jeter game issue “New York Yankees” baseball bat. And don’t start assuming that our detective skills are that top notch. It’s not hard to spot these ads when they’re everywhere from bar bathrooms to a giant truck driving around the city.

Guys love to hate celebrities for one stupid reason or another. Sometimes it’s because our wives or girlfriends have a crush on them or sometimes it’s because they’re overrated, untalented nobodies who people obsesses over for no reason. Either way, we can all agree that cocky douchebags are the worst celebrities of them all, well, other than the non-celebrity celebrities (I’m talking to you, Jersey Shore). Here’s a list of the cocky douches that we love to hate.

If you’ve ever watched a baseball game on TV or visited 30 stadiums in 30 days, chances are you’ve seen him. The batter with the bizarro batting stance, where it looks like he’s trying to get back to the locker room to drop a deuce. Perhaps he’s wanting to coerce the pitcher into a brawl or is so anxious for his next “hit” that he can’t stand still.

We left Penn Station in Manhattan at 4pm to head up to our first stop of the 30 Stadiums in 30 Days adventure, Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. We took the 1 Train uptown, transferred to the D Train at 59th Street – Columbus Circle and got off at 161st Street – Yankee Stadium. The trip took about 45 minutes and was an easy ride on a train packed with other Yank… Click to read more

We all love those great sporting moments where the competition is so stiff that it causes one of the teams to choke. Whether its football, soccer, baseball or tennis, there’s never a dull moment when the favorite team or player chokes under pressure. For some or other reason, there is just something about that final moment of glory being ripped out from under your feet that sticks to the books like taffy. Here are a couple of those moments that we all love (hate) to remember…

Being a Yankee fan is a full-time job. Anyone who is not a Yankee fan hates the Yankees. It’s gotten a little cliché to hate them, but honestly, I’m fine with it. I’ve put together my case in defense of Yankee fans and encourage any Yankee haters to tune in.

As a new baseball season is upon us, its time to make your bets on the next MLB Player to get caught with his hand in the needle jar. Here are 5 safe bets that can have you cleaning out your friends’ piggy banks.

Oh, October. A sweet, sweet month highlighted by the NFL and NCAAFB seasons in full swing, the NBA and NHL seasons getting underway and, of course, the MLB playoffs. The crux of the American sports universe lives here and it’s a wonderful thing. The race to the Fall Classic begins today and what else for a quasi-journalist to do other than make predictions that are bound to be wrong…

There is no history. No charm. There are no memories. But new Yankee Stadium is still a great ballpark. The main reason is because when you are in your seat, you don’t think you are in new Yankee Stadium. It looks so much like the old one. You feel like you are in a refurbished version of the empty stadium across the street…

Following in the wake of the Yankees’ signing of star first baseman Mark Teixeira is the deluge of tears flowing from the eyes of other team officials around the league.  Brewers owner Mark Attanasio complained that he spent $220M for his entire organization, while the Yankees just spent $423.5M on three free agents this month.
