Game #13...Boston Red Sox 7 New York Yankees 3...KOTSAY TO BOSTON (?)
2008-08-27 11:29:00 Tuesday was an all-around great day for the Boston Red Sox. In their last ever series at Yankee Stadium (barring a miracle), they defeated the New York Yankees by a score of 7-3, Toronto beat up on the first place Rays and the club found out that Josh Beckett will be able to return to the rotation on Friday evening. The Sox crept to within 3 1/2 games of those Rays and have a full three game wild card lead over the Twins and a 6 game lead over the pinstripers. That's a lot of reasons to be happy, but there's one more--a big one. Boston just might be playing their best baseball of the year at the most important time of this long season. That's just terrific! And keep reading to learn about the latest possible Red Sox acquisition, ANOTHER piece of great news.Tim Wakefield returned to the mound after an injury "time out" and was able to go five full innings, throwing 80 pitches while giving up just 3 runs on 8 hits. He walked one and struck out one and said this after his outing......

Sports subsidies: A New York Yankees Case Study
2008-05-28 00:00:00 David Kay Johnston, in his new book, "Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (and Stick You with the Bill)," talks about the extent that tax-payer subsidies support Major League sports in this country, with particular attention to the new Yankees stadium being built in The Bronx. In a recent interview with Amy Goodman at Democracy Now!, he pointed out, Now, in this country right now, we are spending $2 billion a year subsidizing the big four sports: baseball, basketball, football and hockey. It accounts for all of the profits of that industry and more. Now, there may be individual teams that make money, but the industry as a whole is not profitable. And that's astonishing because the big four leagues are exempt from the laws of competition. By the way, irony is not dead, because here are people who are in the business of competition on the field who are exempted by law from the rules of economic competition.

Photo Gallery: New York Yankees vs. Baltimore Orioles: Baltimore, Md - May
2008-05-27 04:31:00 After a 5-game skid, the Orioles thanks to the brilliant pitching of Garrett Olson, Aubrey Huff?s three-run homer in seventh, along with Nick Markakis going 3-for-4 and breaking out a slump with a solo homer in the sixth, Baltimore beat the New York Yankees, 6-1. The woeful New York bullpen opened the game for Baltimore and wasted a great effort by youngster Darrell Rasner.The story of the game besides Olson?s performance was Nick Markakis finally coming out of a deep slump. Baltimore?s number three hitter came through big on Memorial and he knows better than anyone that he needs to hit in order for the Orioles to win. As well, he was marvelous in the field as he gunned down Johnny Damon at home in the third inning thanks to a laser throw. I think that play embolden the Orioles, gave Olson even more confidence and showed the Yankees, despite everything, they?ll be hard to beat unlike in past seasons.Despite having A-Rod in the lineup, the Bronx Bombers were limp and the Orioles took...

New York Yankees Vs Cleveland Indians And Other Fantasy Notes
2008-04-29 00:40:00 Watching yesterday's Yankees/Indians game, I couldn't help notice how every bit of doubt about the health of Indians' starter C.C. Sabathia disappeared. Is there anyone out there who isn't positively stating that he or she knew he wasn't hurt? For the Yankees, Chien-Ming Wang won his 5th game in atypical fashion. He had more Ks (9) and flyouts (6) than groundouts (5). He now has 27 Ks in 35 innings of work. I'm on record stating he is going to try to K more hitters because the Yankees' brass threw his lack of Ks in his face during his arbitration hearing. The one run in this game scored on a Melky Cabrera HR, his 5th of the season. Given the Melkman only delivered 8 HRs all last season (545 ABs), does this represent just the beginning of a breakout power year for the twenty-three-year-old CF? Finally, I have to comment on the play-by-play that occurred. In the top of the 6th inning, Derek Jeter lead-off with a double. Up next was the ...
