Alex Rodriguez, fresh from his fancy experimental German knee therapy, has been spotted in Boise, Idaho with former WWE wrestler Torrie Wilson. According to various witnesses, the pair have been seen at the local gym. more ›

With one giant swing and a miss from star Alex Rodriguez, the $196 million Yankees season came to a pathetic ending last night against the Detroit Tigers. And with that final whiff (which you can rewatch below), the vitriol poured forth from sportswriters, Yankees haters and even Donald Trump across the web: "A-Rod is a less than average baseball player now that he is unable to use drugs. A-Rod misrepresented to the Yankees. He used drugs. They should cut his salary to $5 million a year -- tops!" Trump tweeted. more ›

While the Yankees are busy trying to figure out why CC Sabathia turns into Jaret Wright every time he faces the Red Sox, and waiting for Jesus Montero to rise from Triple-A to save them, a former batboy for the team is dishing on life behind-the-scenes at Yankee Stadium—including Derek Jeter's easy going nature, A-Rod's high-maintenance foibles, Hideki Matsui's inadvertent catchphrases, and Joe Torre's obsession with horses. more ›

Mets 2 Milwaukee 1: Chris Capuano beat his former team with six innings of one-run ball. But, Capuano's efforts would have been wasted without Jose Reyes's two-run triple in the 7th, the only scoring for the Mets all night. The bullpen made it stand up with Beato, Istringhausen and K-Rod each contributing a perfect inning of relief. more ›

Many people, including members of the Oklahoma Christian network, may think that the Yankees are a vastly overrated organization, but it's quite hard to argue with 27 World Series titles. But that doesn't mean that some of its members are immune from such criticisms: Alex Rodriguez, Joba Chamberlain, and Derek Jeter were voted most overrated players in a new anonymous poll of 185 ballplayers. more ›

Yankees 9 Mets 3: The Mets failed to deliver a knockout blow against a struggling Ivan Nova and they paid for it with a loss. The Mets jumped out to a 3-1 lead with Harris, Paulino and Pridie all all delivering RBI's. But that was all they could manage as they left two runners on in the third and sixth and hit into two big double-plays. Mike Pelfrey cruised until the seventh when the Yankees' offense finally woke up. more ›

Mets 4 Colorado 3: New York jumped out to a 2-0 lead thanks to an Ike Davis single. Mike Pelfrey made that hold up and added to it with his own two-rbi double. K-Rod recorded the final three outs for his 10th save. more ›

Rangers 5 Boston 3: The Rangers earned their most satisfying two points of the year and climbed into a tie for sixth with Montreal. New York fell behind 3-0 in the second period before Vinny Prospal scored two goals to bring them within one. But, they still trailed with under five minutes in the game when Brandon Dubinsky netted his 24th of the year to tie things up. Less than a minute later, Michael Sauer slipped a weak wrist shot past Tim Thomas and MSG erupted in euphoria. Derek Stepan scored his 21st into an empty net to put New York four points up in the race for the final playoff spot. more ›

After an off-season that was widely reviewed as a failure, the Yankees will take to the field tomorrow attempting to prove their detractors wrong. Yes, they didn’t land Cliff Lee and yes, they enter the season with big question mark hanging over their rotation. But the fact remains that this is still a pretty good ballclub. more ›

You know what rich people like? Staying rich! While it's unclear why exactly super-rich Yankees slugger and serial house hunter Alex Rodriguez finally decided to buy a $6 million place at the Rushmore condo, here's one factor that probably didn't hurt: The 421a tax break that will turn what could have been an annual $60,000+ tax bill into one that's just $1200 a year. more ›

The Super Bowl is already three days old, but certain controversies just won't go away. No, not the Groupon commercials, nor Christina Aguilera's National Anthem debacle, nor the Black Eyed Peas' Star Trek: The Next Generation halftime crapathon. Only one ridiculous controversy soars above all others: A-Rod and PopCorn gate. more ›

If we're to believe this CBS headline, then Grim LeRogue, the man who rushed the field at Yankee Stadium with a photo of A-Rod reading "You have to go bud, you've ruined too many of our white queens," hates A-Rod. But before he set off on his crusade to win Cameron Diaz's heart, he saved some of his wrath for local politicians. He is believed to be the author of vitriolic letters sent to Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. and the newsrooms of The Riverdale Press and Norwood News, signed "The Uncle of Sam" in an apparent nod to the Bronx's "Son of Sam" killer. Uh oh, is there a talking dog involved? more ›

Grim LeRogue wasn't only motivated by his chivalrous love of Cameron Diaz to run onto the field of Monday night's Yankees/Rangers game—he also just plain hated A-Rod. His ex-super told the News that LeRogue had scrawled anti-Alex Rodriguez screeds on the walls of his old apartment beside giant pictures of the Yankees star, one of which read, "I want to beat his ass." Take a number pal. more ›

At the top of the fifth inning of Monday's Yankees game against Texas, a crazed fan took to the field (video below) in an attempt to confront A-Rod about his relationship with actress Cameron Diaz. Grim LeRogue (née Joe Rogan, but why would you stick with a name like that when you could be Grim LeRogue?) was carrying a picture of Diaz that said "We will be together soon," and one of A-Rod with an X scrawled across his face with the written threat, "You have to go bud, you've ruined too many of our white queens." But those queens were helping his batting average! more ›

The Yankees decided to win in 10 innings against the Red Sox (the magic number for a playoff spot is 1), the Jets defeated Miami 31-23 in an exciting, sloppy game, the Giants had two turnovers at the goal line in their 29-13 loss to Tennessee, and the Mets pounded Cole Hamels to win 7-3 over the Phillies. more ›

Boston 10 Yankees 8: The Yankees fell way behind and ultimately fell out of first place Friday. Andy Pettitte clearly didn’t have it, surrendering seven runs in just over three innings of work and the Red Sox jumped out to a 10-1 lead. New York battled back thanks to two home runs each from A-Rod and Mark Teixeira plus Nick Swisher’s 28th blast of the year. But it wasn’t enough and the loss keeps the Red Sox playoff hopes alive and the magic number at 3. more ›

Take a deep breath Yankees’ fans, A-Rod has brought you back into first place. Down to his final strike in the ninth with New York trailing 3-1, A-Rod launched his second home run of the game to put the Yankees ahead. And a throwing error by David Wright and a walk to the pitcher doomed Jon Niese and the Mets in the fourth inning. more ›

With a 2-1/2 hour rain delay, Curtis Granderson had his best game as a Yankee, hitting two homers, stealing a base and scoring three runs in the Bombers' 12-6 win over the Royals. The Mets fell once again, losing 1-0 to the Dodgers. more ›

The slugger commented about how his life has changed since his 500th home run (you know, besides the steroids admission, a public break-up and then much-gossiped about relationships with famous women):

"I am enjoying the game more than I ever have. I get more enjoyment out of the little things, playing a team game, not trying to do too much. After winning a world championship with this team, there really is no comparison between a team accomplishment and a personal accomplishment. Those are nice but I have much better perspective. more ›

The Yankees got a win for CC Sabathia, with help from A-Rod who had four RBIs and his 599th home run. Thierry Henry made his Red Bulls debut with a goal in the loss to the Tottenham Spurs in a friendly match. And the Mets continued their slump, losing 2-0 to the Dodgers. more ›

Kabbalah has proven to be the most convenient way to reduce 4,000 years of teachings into a good luck charm against celebrity misfortune, in the form of a trendy, $26 red bracelet. Now the Daily News reports that joining the ranks of hapless public figures such as A-Rod, Paris Hilton, and Britney Spears is our own Governor Paterson. It wouldn't be surprising if he had an arsenal of evil eye amulets to go with the Jewish talisman—forgoing his reelection bid, being under investigation, having his feelings hurt, and being on the front lines of the budget wars are only a few of the problems besetting the lame-duck Governor. more ›

The Yankees beat the Athletics, 6-1, thanks to good pitching from CC Sabathia and two home runs (including a grand slam) from A-Rod. Johan Santana dominated the mound and even hit a home run in the Mets' 3-0 victory over the Reds. more ›

The Yankees win big over the Blue Jays, thanks to 11 runs in the third inning. The Mets fell to the Nationals, when K-Rod wasn't able to seal a victory. more ›

Mets 6 Minnesota 0: Jon Niese improved to 5-2 with six-shutout innings and the Mets’ bats pounded out 14 hits in the victory. Ike Davis had his 9th home run of the year, Jeff Francoeur his 8th and David Wright added three hits and two RBI’s. The win and the Atlanta loss puts the Mets just a half-game out of first place. more ›

• Mets 5 Minnesota 2: It was a rough start for Mike Pelfrey, his second pitch of the evening was deposited over the right field wall for a home run. But Pelfrey buckled down and while he struggled he was effective. He lasted six innings and allowed only two runs, while being forced to throw 117 pitches. David Wright made sure it was enough, driving in two runs and scoring two more. Jose Reyes added two hits and a RBI and Jason Bay added a RBI. K-Rod allowed two hits in the ninth, but he settled down to earn his 17th save of the year.
• Yankees 2 Los Angeles 1: This one lived up to the hype. For the record, Joe Torre and A-Rod didn’t speak before the game, but A-Rod did all the talking he needed to with his bat. Alex had a double and a home run, scoring both Yankees’ runs. CC Sabathia was brilliant, pitching eight innings while allowing only one run and drilling the infamous headhunter, Vincente Padilla, with a fastball. Mariano Rivera came in for the ninth and struck out the side to earn the save.
