New York Sports

The New York Yankees beat the Minnesota Twins by a score of 5-1. The Yankee pitchers had another strong performance.

A+—Andy Pettitte

I think that Andy Pettitte is going to be washed up in 2009, especially since he stopped taking steroids. I thought that steroids were making him the pitcher he was, but I could be wrong this year. Andy pitched a great game, giving up no runs on two hits in three innings of work.

A+—Jorge Posada

The Dutch were clutch in the WBC, sending the DR straight to the ER! 

Okay, that was a poor attempt to sound 'hip'.  However, let not anyone underestimate the profoundly stunning result that 2-1 victory by the Netherlands over the Dominican Republic was. 

The Dominican Republic was a team loaded with MLB all-stars (Miguel Tejada, David Ortiz, Jose Reyes, and Pedro Martinez...to name a few); however, the Dutch had not a single player on its roster who is currently signed with an MLB team. 

Everyone is proud of his or her city, but none are prouder than New Yorkers. Because New York is and always will be the center of the universe. New York has welcomed millions upon millions of immigrants who were looking for hope and freedom in the new world.

The New York Yankees did not have any luck on offense, pitching or defense as they lost to the Boston Red Sox 8-4 at City of Palms Park.

I was highly disappointed that the game wasn't on the YesNetwork. I was getting ready too. I had popcorn (microwave) and a big bottle of soda ready for my consumption. Either way, the game must be graded. I got a lot of info from Peter Abraham's website.

I saw this story a while ago, but I decided I would make mention of it here.

It seems that the Lowell Spinners, a short-season single A minor league affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, have a program in place which is trying to eliminate teams called the Yankees from little league baseball in New England. According to this story, they've so far removed over 100 teams called the Yankees from area little leagues and replaced them with teams called the Spinners.

The New York Jets, New York Giants, New York Mets, and New York Rangers have all added unsavory characters to their lineups lately. The new New Yorkers include Michael Boley, Rocky Bernard, Ron Villone, Larry Izzo, and Sean Avery.

The bad boys of football, baseball, and hockey descending on New York City has reminded some observers of The Last Judgement. The observers are asking,"Who you gonna call?"

According to the New York Times, the Giants are also ready to welcome back Plaxico Burress.

Derek Jeter has been one of the most beloved professional athletes in New York’s illustrious sports history.

He has also been one of the most respected athletes in the history of sports in general.

Last December, the Mets shipped out Endy Chavez, Joe Smith, and Aaron Heilman in exchange for J.J. Putz, Sean Green, and Jeremy Reed.

New York Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon barely hesitated long enough for the reporter's question to be completed before he tossed his answer forward.

When asked to name the most athletic player on the entire Yankee roster, Damon emphatically answered, "Cody Ransom."

After the reporter seemed slightly taken aback by his response, Damon added, "Have you been to YouTube yet?"
