There has never been a better time to lay off the heart-shaped and maraschino-red dyed food madness than this Valentine’s Day. Not that there’s anything wrong with Russell Stover- okay, maybe there’s a lot wrong with Russell Stover- it’s just that February 14th is the beginning of predictable three month sugar slump that reaches a high point with St. Patrick’s Day brisket obliterated in brown sugar, and ends sometime at the beginning of Spring (April......

The latest instance of "Scare the pants off the management by mentioning the Yanks" is with hirsute Red Sox player, Johnny Damon. Unhappy with the way his contract negotiations are going, Damon said that he'd be happy to entertain offers from the Yankees. Nice. It seems that once......

The Yankees take their offense and their payroll to the post-season tonight as $180 million takes on $53 million.

What wins championships? Pitching, defense and timely hitting. Pitching, though is the main ingredient. The Yankees have the best record in baseball, but one glaring hole is the starting pitching. Last night Mike Mussina was able to right the ship for four innings, then the ship sank. Mussina gave up seven runs in six innings. In Mussina's last two starts, against the Mets and Tigers, he is 0-2 with a 9.82 ERA. In the two......
