  show on public access in New York...and quite frankly, it's hilarious. This guy really sounds like he wants to have a legit talk show and seems to still have the false hope that it might turn out to be a successful show, but Richard and Sal will have none of that. From the sounds of it, they are pretty much the only guys who listen to and call

  night. That's when the Yankees finish their suspended game in Camden Yards, a game which you'll recall was halted by rain on June 28th. Whatever the result of that game it will go in the books as the game of June 28th, that's the date of any stats that players earn and, as Peter Abraham explains, that could make for quite the statistical

  Deion Sanders should probably keep his thoughts about Michael Vick to himself.What a dog means to Vick might be a lot different than what he means to you or I. Hold on, don't start shaking your head just yet. Listen to me. Some people kiss their dogs on the mouth. Some people let their dogs eat from their plate. Some people dress their dogs

But someone taking money from airlines and hotels on the side is just one of the problems facing the Bombers organization today. I'm watching Mike Francesa (sans Mad Dog) on YES right now and the ticker on the bottom of the screen keeps hyping up

  Graziano. He writes that the Yankees are shopping Johnny Damon and that they've had a nibble or two from the Braves. The two years and $26 million that Damon has left on his contract are major drawbacks for Atlanta so the Yankees would have to eat cash to get a deal done. The Braves could use Damon as insurance if Andruw Jones bolts after the

The Yankees are missing that perverse bit of honesty in a life that depended on lies today because their traveling secretary has been placed on administrative leave while the IRS investigates charges of tax evasion.  David Szen, who

  edge and helped assure the Yankees of a sixth straight win. The final was 7-1 after some padding that followed A-Rod's pre-historic blast. That one Royal run may be more important than another night of Yankee hitting goodness. Mike Mussina started and picked up his first win of July, an important development given his struggles in his other

  Game between the Royals and Yankees. George Brett was on hand but if you weren't you can bid on one of these shirts here. Otherwise there wasn't much to recommend the play of the home side something that the AP write-up of the game drives home by describing Scott Elarton's start as a "BP-like outing." Elarton's ERA is now 10.46, he's

  Thankfully for the Yankees, George Bush is only the President of the United States. We won't have to wait for September to hear Igawa's final report, he'll be gone by this time next week and in his place will be Phil Hughes. Assuming Hughes doesn't suffer any physical setbacks in this weekend's start with the Dunder Mifflins the Yankees

  week loomed large as the Yankees tried to avoid a sweep in Baltimore. Johnny Damon had a strong game, more reminiscent of the player the Yankees sought as a free agent than one they'd pay someone else to take off their hands, while Kyle Farnsworth continued to make fans wonder what Joe Torre sees in him. Damon had three hits, two RBI and

May 1, 1991 - Rickey Henderson becomes the "greatest of all time" when he breaks Lou Brock's career steals record but loses a little of his self-proclaimed luster when Nolan Ryan

  much going on for the Yankees. The Scott Proctor-for-Wilson Betemit rumors continue and they are in on Eric Gagne talks but nothing seems imminent in either case. The Red Sox are also hot on Gagne's trail but Gagne has a no-trade clause for Boston and is unlikely to waive it to go somewhere he can't close because he'd forego bonus money.

  trading a reliever means the Yankees are close to sealing a deal for Eric Gagne but that seems unlikely. Ken Rosenthal of Fox is reporting that he'll either be heading to Flushing, Fenway or Milwaukee if he goes anywhere at all. Staying put looks like the best bet. I'm hoping that dealing Proctor doesn't mean that Kyle Farnsworth will remain with

  Abraham confirms that the Yankees seem unlikely for Gagne.  He says the Red Sox are offering David Murphy and Kason Gabbard, while the Cubs are still quietly involved.  Not sure whether Gagne would have to consent to a trade to the Cubs, but he could be used as their closer without a major uprising. Ken Rosenthal is reporting that

• Wilson Betemit For Scott Proctor Trade Completed

  According to ESPN's Buster Olney, the Yankees and Dodgers have completed the rumored Scott Proctor for Wilson Betemit trade. I give a slight edge to Brian Cashman on this trade, given the volatility of relievers.  Betemit I think can still be a capable infield regular.
