Happy Birthday to legendary movie refer addict Tommy Chong, who turns 78 today. Holy shit, I can’t believe that dude is 78 years old. Chong, along with Cheech Martin made being a pothead cool to many in several movies and comedy albums over the 1970’s and 80s. Among their best were “Up In Smoke” (1978), … Read More
Happy Birthday to former middleweight boxing legend “Marvelous” Marvin Hagler, who turns 63 today. Hagler against my boxing idol, Sugar Ray Leonard in 1987 may be my favorite fight of all-time. I’ll never forget watching with a group of friends entirely divided on who to root for. The fight was close it resulted in mass … Read More
Happy Birthday to former New Edition, LSG and solo singer Johnny Gill, who turns 51 today (dayum, your boy’s getting old). Gill rose to prominence in 1987 when taking Bobby Brown’s spot in New Edition after Brown got booted from the group. Gill became a solo star around three years later when his 1990 album … Read More
Happy Derek Jeter Day, ya’ll. The New York Yankees retire Jeter’s No. 2 tonight before the Yanks take on Houston at the Stadium. The festivities will be televised on ESPN. In honor of tonight’s historic event, check out some of Jeter’s career highlights on this montage I found on Youtube, originally posted by Colin Fitzgerald.
If you drafted any of these Yankees and/or snagged them off the waiver wire early in the season, odds are you’re probably doing very well in your fantasy baseball league. The following five Yanks entered the season with precious little fantasy fanfare (except for arguably Judge), yet have been explosive over the first month of … Read More
The Yankees are literally turning their fortunes around from where they were a year ago. Last night’s come from behind 8-6 victory over the Blue Jays saw them improve to 17-9 in 2017. A year ago at this it was the complete opposite with New York off to a 9-17 start. They find themselves a … Read More
The Yankees placed first basemen Greg Bird on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with a bruised right ankle. The 24-year old has been (mostly) playing on the sore ankle since fouling a ball off it during a spring training game in late March. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Bird had a MRI in New York … Read More
One of my best friends, a Yankee fanatic begins each season with a simple Facebook status that reads “162-0” in honor of his favorite team finishing the regular season undefeated. With each corresponding Yankee loss that figure adds one to the right side. After the first give games, his status read “158-4”. The way things … Read More
Literally around 24 hours ago I wrote that Greg Bird should spend some time in the minors to work on a swing that looked overmatched for MLB pitching. To quote the great Chris Jericho, I am a “stupid idiot”. After tonight I think Bird may win a battle title. Entering the game with one hit … Read More
Last night I said the New York Yankees were victorious in one of the more exciting games I’ve seen in quite some time. This afternoon they won in one if the weirder ones. The Bombers did a lot of whiffing at the plate; striking out a franchise record-tying 17 times. However, they also drew eight … Read More
