Cliff Lee to the Philadelphia Phillies: Why the New York Yankees Win This Deal
Everyday on the way to school, I pick up a copy of AM New York , a local newspaper in New York City. While sifting through the pages, I see an article entitled “ Yankees wait on Cliff Lee .” Just then, my phone vibrated. It was an e-mail from my fellow writer Steve Lenox. “I was right,” he said, and went on discussing the Cliff Lee deal. Startled and confused, I started looking around for an …

Cliff Lee Spurns Yankees for Phillies
Pitcher Cliff Lee, the most coveted free agent in baseball this off-season, stunned fans and pundits in the wee hours of Monday night by announcing he would return to the Philadelphia Phillies, a team that traded him away a year ago after he led the club to the 2009 World Series.

Sports Argument Of The Week: Should Derek Jeter Have Drunk The ‘Reality Potion’?
Early in August, with a line drive that spun into shallow center field, Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter became one of just three dozen men with more hits than Babe Ruth. Of course, as Jeter said that night, he’s no Babe Ruth. For one, the Bambino never had Minka Kelly. Or Mariah Carey. Or the Jessicas, Biel [...]

Yanks Can Fill Lefty Void via Queens

Yanks Can Fill Lefty Void via Queens
After the Yankees lost to Texas I pointed to the lack of a second lefty in the bullpen as a primary problem for the ballclub. Although it wasn’t the main reason for losing in the ALCS, it didn’t help late in ballgames. The loss of Damaso Marte was extremely punishing, especially a year after he [...]

Sports Television Still Needs a Major Color Adjustment
