Everyone Loves A Parade
The Perks of This Job!!!!! The day started at 5AM. I had 3 alarm clocks and a coffee pot set, so I wouldn't oversleep. The call was for 7:30 at the Stadium to start getting on the 20 buses...
11 Down, None To Go!!
On December 26th, 1919, Harry Frazee sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees to finance the musical No, No, Nanette. Since that day, every time the Yankees win the World Series, it's because they have more money than anyone else...
A Tale of Two Cities
The Yankees traveling party left the Stadium this morning on 3 buses to go to Penn. Station, for the Amtrak Trek to Philadelphia. As the buses turned down 31st Street, we saw the crowds...
7 Down, 4 To Go
Back in 1986, a friend of mine, a 20 year season ticket holder at Yankee Stadium, said to me: "Who do I root for in this thing...it's THEM against THEM!" I guess Mets fans think the same thing right now?
6 Down, 5 To Go
Right before last nite's game, I walked by Joe Girardi and said, "You know what's good about Game 3? Game 4 starts in a couple of hours!" No pitching changes needed last nite...CC Sabathia did it all.

My Story
Okay, here's the story. Yes, I grew up a Phillies fan. I have never hid that fact from anyone during my time covering the Yankees (nine years and counting). But now the Schmidt has hit the FAN.
Cashing In
Brian Cashman has taken a lot of hits over the last six years. Now that he's built the Yankees into a pennant winner again he deserves some credit. Yes, there is still one more hill to climb.
Get Ready for a Fall Classic
Now it feels like October. The Yankees are playing for a trip to the World Series. It's been a while in case you hadn't noticed. They haven't gotten this far since 2004.

Enjoy This
Listening to WFAN since the Yankees won their first World Series since 2000 has me very annoyed. First, here are the things I’ve had to hear from Mets fans...
Three Day Monty
What, you thought it would be easy? There should be little surprise the Yankees are heading back to New York to finish off the World Series.
Hey, Offense. Wake Up!!!
Is anyone else tired of hearing that whenever a Yankees team doesn’t score runs it’s because the opposing pitcher was simply too good? All these pitchers can’t be throwing lights out.
