The national pastime becomes a time machine
I'm playing hooky. It's Thursday around noon, and a column is due, but it's 1970 and I'm playing hooky. I'm watching baseball. Gloriously sunny, rapturously dramatic, midweek playoff baseball. I'm sitting in my living room in the middle of the day...Tags: World Series, Coco Crisp, Bill Plaschke, Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, St. Louis Cardinals

Masterful Move By Girardi The Genius
The Hartford CourantAt 10:25 p.m. Wednesday, Joe Girardi became a genius. Either that, or like millions of other Yankee fans, he finally had seen enough of Alex Rodriguez. Maybe the bigger truth is Joe Girardi just couldn't take it anymore. At 10:25 p.m., Girardi pulled one...Tags: Boston Red Sox, Derek Jeter, Jim Johnson, Brian Matusz, Alex Rodriguez

Yankees Need To Get Younger, Better
The Hartford CourantCurt Schilling was saying the other day on ESPN that he has seen thousands of players sign baseballs with their telephone number and toss them to pretty women in the stands. I believe him. I believe this, too. There's only one player who would do it in...Tags: Boston Red Sox, World Series, Andruw Jones, Derek Jeter, Brian Cashman

Win-or-go-home games becoming norm
Once upon a time, the chance to go to Great American Ball Park and watch the Reds play a win-or-go-home game in the playoffs would have been the chance of a lifetime for fans in Cincinnati. The franchise hadn't played one since 1975, and that was at...

Tigers owner has more than paid his dues
NEW YORK — Six years. Six long years. Six long, long years. That's how long Dave Dombrowski and Jim Leyland have been on the mission that drives them — to bring home a World Series title for Mike Ilitch, the 83-year-old owner who has kept...Tags: World Series, Nick Swisher, Chicago White Sox, Derek Jeter, Prince Fielder

Bad Calls Only Go So Far To Explain Yankees' Malaise
The Hartford Courant— Early Sunday, Derek Jeter broke his ankle near second base and he screamed in pain. Later Sunday, umpire Jeff Nelson broke open the game with a botched call at that base and New York screamed in disgust. But, oh man, the Yankees continue to break...Tags: Lobbying, Phil Coke, Nick Swisher, Derek Jeter, Omar Infante

Another new position for Galvis?
The Phillies FilesCharlie Manuel said he’s thinking about trying Freddy Galvis at yet another new position. I absolutely think he should give it a try. “I’ve kind of thought about playing him [in center fielder], seeing how he could do,” Manuel...
