According to NJ.com, Jason Giambi resorts to wearing a golden thong to bust his way out of prolonged slumps at the plate. And "wearing a golden thong" is baseball lingo for the Giambino refilling his deca-durabolin prescription. The whole gold...

Just came across a great This Is Sportscenter tv ad today and felt the need to pass it along. Jose Reyes may not be a Mets fan-favorite right now, but he just earned points in my book for one of the funniest Sportscenter commercials I've ever seen:

Made my way to Trenton last night to see Trenton vs. Portland with top Red Sox pitching prospect Justin Masterson taking the hill . However, the real reason for my visit was the much anticipated arrival of Mark Melancon , who had recently been...

The NY Post reports 25 year-old Trenton starter Dan McCutchen will be promoted to AAA Scranton Wilkes-Barre . I've met McCutchen multiple times and have heard nothing but good things about him off the field. On the field the Oklahoma product is a...

Old news now, but Alex Rodriguez 's MRI results yesterday were not convincing enough to warrant a weekend return to action. Instead Rodriguez plans to rejoin the team this Tuesday should he avoid any setbacks in the meantime. Alex Rodriguez is...

Alan Horne , who is working his way back from a biceps strain, has been keeping Yankees fans up to date on his rehab via his father who posts on several message boards. This one comes from NYYFans : Just got through talking with Alan after he...

Get it? Fat chance. You know because David Wells is, well, overweight. Anyhow, Wells told the Daily News he would love to make a return to the Yankees, even though there is zero interest on the other side of the table. However, leave it to the NY...

Shockingly, it looks like not everyone is as receptive to Joba Chamberlain's exuberance as Frank Thomas was: “That’s what gets him going and that’s what everybody likes to see, but if a hitter was to do something like that they’d probably say

Dusty Baker likes to torch the arms of his top pitchers with his latest exhibit being young Edison Volquez . The young fireballer walks too many and needs a better breaking ball because only relying on a fastball/changeup combo will not work longterm...

No it wasn't just Mo Vaughn, it's ideas like this one : 4. CALL HANK Have owner Bob Castellini ring Hank Steinbrenner and tell him you’ve got a way to move Joba Chamberlain into the Yankees’ rotation. Offer Jared Burton, who’s whiffing hitters

Apparently Mark Buehrle did not have a good Wednesday night against the Twins. The real show wasn't his poor performance, but instead what took place after being chased during a five-run sixth inning: Mark Buehrle didn't wait for Ozzie Guillen to...
