It's Opening Day For My Yankees... The Quest For #28 Begins Now!!!

OK... time for some baseball!!! I am not going to get into a long rant about how superior the Yankees are (clearly they are) or how much I want to see them win another title (I do...). Instead I am just going to wish Derek and the gang good luck on the 162 game journey that starts against the Tigers tonight. Lets go CC... time to get big!!! I'll check back with you guys in September. Hopefully we will be playoff bound!

Congrats Jaime Moyer... You Just Pitched In Your 4th Decade!

Way back on June 16, 1986 a pitcher by the name of Jaime Moyer started a game for the Chicago Cubs against the Philadelphia Phillies. 24 years later, our boy Moyer is still kicking and pitching in the major leagues. Ironically, now he is pitching for the same Philadelphia Philles he faced way back in his debut. He has been a workhorse over his long career and although he was never a huge superstar pitcher, he has amassed 258 wins. Last night, he picked up his 259 victory over the Houston Astro's. He is well on his way towards the 300 win plateau that usually means instant election into the Baseball Hall of Fame. While he probably won't get to 300 ( he is 47 already for christ sakes), I think he should be a Hall of Famer for consistently getting it done. Do the math kids: 260 wins a year for 24 years is an average of 10 wins per year... not to shabby.

But when he pitched in the game against the Astro's last night, Moyer became only the 4th pitcher in MLB history to appear in a game in 4 different decades... wow. He joined Nolan Ryan, Rodger Clemens, and Greg Maddux as the only other pitchers to accomplish that feat. Nolan Ryan is probably the greatest pitcher ever... the career strikeout leader. Rodger Clemens won 7 Cy Young awards and until recent steroid issues was also considered one of the greatest of all time. Maddux won 4 CONSECUTIVE Cy Young awards and 18 Gold Gloves awards, making him the greatest defense pitcher OF ALL TIME!!! This is the company Mr. Moyer is now in, and I feel like he deserves a bit of credit. So, there you go Mr. Moyer... Congratualations on a storied career and have many more!!! See you in Cooperstown my friend.

Opening Day Is Here... And The Quest For 28 Begins!!!

Spring is here, the weather is getting warmer... It must be baseball time!!! I'm a big fan of MLB, and this season is gonna be awesome. In order to offer full disclosure, I am also a die hard NY Yankee fan. If you lke that, great. If not... fuck you. This is my blog. I'll write about the Yankees as much as I want... ok,ok. I'm just kidding. I do love the Yankees, and the expecatations are high for the defending champs. This season will be challenging acroos the board, and the best part about the beginning of the season is simply this: Everybody is in 1st place on Opening Day. Thats the way it is kids. Hope everyone has fun rooting for their teams this year, and we will see who is hoisting that championship trophy above their heads come October. Go get Yanks... (and anybody you guys might root for).
