With Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui no longer part of the Yankees, can these guys return to the World Series this year?

That is the question most Yankee fans are asking themselves as we kick off the brand new 2010 MLB baseball season. Will the key additions of Javier Vasquez and Curtis Granderson be enough to fill the holes Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui left on the roster?

Without a shadow of a doubt, both Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui were keys in the Yankees’ World Series run in 2009. Hell, Matsui was the 2009 World Series MVP for crying out loud. Thankfully, the Yankees are deep enough on both offense and with pitching that they can probably afford to lose out on those key elements on their title run heading to the season.

While some will remember Vazquez’s bad first go-around with the New York Yankees, things will be drastically different in that he won’t be counted on to be the ace or even second-best pitcher on the team. He’ll be the fourth starter behind CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, and Andy Pettitte. There is no questioning Vazquez’s stuff and the second tour on duty with the Bronx Bombers should be a lot smoother.

Granderson can do a lot of things on offense, but would be so much better if he could hit lefties (.210 career batting average). Yet, in a lineup that includes Derek Jeter, Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez, Robinson Cano, Jorge Posada, and newly (re)-acquired Nick Johnson, Granderson will be alright.

And so will the Yankees as they have a great shot to…

And as always, these early picks are brought to you by those guys from SPORTSBETTING.com. (Because they really don’t have anything else to do…)

In case you haven’t noticed, the 2010 MLB baseball season is just around the corner. The last time I was mildly interested in a baseball game, the Yankees won the World Series so it’s only fitting that we kick off this one with them Yankees and their chances to go have their re-peat.

The New York Yankees are the perennial favorites to capture the American League pennant and after winning the World Series last season, it’s no surprise that they are once again favored to capture the pennant again in 2010.

However, the Yanks will have a big distraction this season. As it stands, star shortstop Derek Jeter is going into the final year of his deal with them pinstripes and you can bet it will continue to be a distraction until the situation with is resolved.

”I was a Yankees fan growing up. This is where I want to be,” Jeter told the media as he was prepping for spring training in Tampa, Florida. ”I’ve never envisioned myself playing anywhere else, and hopefully I don’t have to.”

It’s doubtful that the Yanks would allow Jeter to leave but then again, former Boston Red Sox player Johnny Damon said he would never sign with the Yankees and he did. The Bronx Bombers are currently listed as the odds-on at +150 to represent the AL in this season’s World Series but if they lose a guy like Jeter, it’ll be awfully hard to win anything.

But hey, at least they still have Alex Rodriguez right? At this point…

In case you haven’t heard, we had a rather surprising end to Thanksgiving.

Yes, and that’s all thanks to Tiger Woods who, just last Friday, was involved in a car accident that was probably caused by a martial spat between him and his wife Elin Nordegren.

The accident forced Tiger to withdraw from his own tournament that was suppose to benefit his charity foundation. However, withdrawing from his own tournament is the least of Tiger’s worries now.

Since the car accident may have been caused by a martial spat between Tiger Woods and his wife, Elin Nordegren, the clean image Tiger has been building for years are all in shambles now.

In case you didn’t know, Tiger was rumored to have been having an affair with a certain Rachel Uchitel from Los Angeles and with the incident, it certainly proves once and for all that this thing between Uchitel, Tiger and his wife is more than just speculation.

So who is this Rachel Uchitel you ask?

Well, this girl has a thing for sports athletes. You see, she has a reputation for dating married celebrities with her having been involved with the likes of Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez before. Nabbing a Tiger however, should be the biggest catch she has ever made since it has already created quite a media storm.

Authorities found Tiger Woods dazed on the ground, fading…

Two of the best all-around baseball teams collide as the New York Yankees slug it out against the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 6.

That’s right, the 2009 MLB World Series is on as the Yankees and the Phillies play in what is shaping up to be an interesting championship face-off, to say the least. With fans from New York on one side and Philly fans on the other, you can almost smell a brawl brewing.

But who has the advantage? Sure, the New York Yankees are having a terrific season considering that just a few months ago, Alex Rodriguez was in the middle of controversies involving performance enhancing drugs. But do they have enough to dethrone the defending champs?

The Philadelphia Phillies are looking to win it all again after winning the title last year. They have assembled enough talent to bring themselves back in the big dance. This time they have the Bronx Bombers from New York challenging them for the title. Can they make quick work of the Yankees like they did the Tampa Bay Rays last year?

These two teams boast two of the best hitting lineups in the game.

For the Phillies, they have some great hitters including Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley, and Shane Victorino. However, the most powerful and feared bat in their lineup is the incomparable Ryan Howard…

Nick Shiambouros talks us through the somewhat controversial events of Game 3 where video replays were used for the first time in post-season history. Onto Game 4 we go though and a chance for the Philles to put things right….

The 2009 World Series is now upon us, and this year’s series is sure to be action-packed with its lineup of huge stars.

In case you didn’t know, yes, Sarah Palin finally walked away as governor of Alaska, announcing the big resignation over the weekend.

But only Sarah Palin herself knows the reason behind the sudden big announcement. Did her legal troubles finally caught up to her to drive her out of office or was David Letterman’s tirade about her daughter getting knocked up by Alex Rodriguez just too much for her corporate ass to bear?

In an interview with the press, Sarah Palin’s lawyer Thomas Van Flein, explained why Palin walked away from office. And unfortunately for us, he didn’t say anything about David Letterman. (Boo!)

”She is leaving now because I think she believes that she has become the issue, rightly or wrongly, with all these ethics complaints and with the issues involving the Legislature, the combativeness they’ve been demonstrating toward her since she returned from the campaign,” Van Flein said of Palin, still widely believed to be a possible presidential candidate in 2012.

”I think she believes it’s in the best interest of the state to progress forward, for her to move on to other issues.”

Palin has become a lightning rod for partisan politics in Alaska since her return from the 2008 presidential campaign after John McCain selected her as his running mate. She has racked up an estimated $500,000 in legal bills defending the flurry of ethics complaints, including one filed a few days ago that claims she is violating ethics law by taking per diem payments when she stays in her Wasilla home instead of the governor’s mansion in Juneau.

And with all the trouble our girl has been having…

Travis Henry is BACK baby… actually he’s BACK with another freakin’ baby. Two of them. The man who already has nine kids by NINE different mothers, still refuses to buy condoms. Some may say it’s sad, but I say it’s AWESOME! Why, because I just can’t imagine any woman being dumb enough to sleep with Travis Henry these days. Seriously, he’s played football for three NFL teams (Buffalo, Tennessee and Denver) so you know his face is familiar, and yet there’s still women willing to take a chance on a man that pays $170,000 a year in child support. If T. Hen is ever short on payments he should just come out with a video about “How to run game when you’ve got 9 kids with 9 different women” by Travis Henry. Chapter 1 Don’t tell that bitch about any of your kids or they baby mama’s, talk about some of your recent achievements and buy her at least 7 drinks.


Good Luck Vanessa!

New York Tabloids have recently linked starlet Kate Hudson to Yankee star Alex Rodriguez. Rumor has it that the reason that A-Rod has been missing games with a case of “fatigue” is because he’s been burning the midnight oil with Hudson. That’s gotta piss off New Yorkers seeing as how the Yankees are paying Rodriguez 33 million dollars and everyone knows that for half that amount they could distract Hudson with some shitty B movie (where she’ll probably show her boobs) and let A-Rod focus on whipping the Red Sox.
Yeah I’d be fatigued myself

Wimbledon started this week and while it is the best tournament in Tennis, it’s just not the same when we can’t look forward to Maria Sharapova sweating all over the court. Seriously, haven’t tennis fans been put through enough? For years millions of male fans suffered through Anna Kournikova getting bounced in the early rounds of tennis events, but we just can’t take it again Martina! If Sharapova keeps getting bounced in the early rounds of tennis events, women are going to figure out that men all over the world don’t give a crap who wins and are just watching her because she’s smoking hot. So thank you Gisela Dulko for beating Sharapova, now I have to watch three more rounds of beefy trannies grunting at each other just to keep from getting busted.

That dude is bad ass at tennis!

THE UNITED STATES SOCCER TEAM defeated Spain 2-0 Thursday night. I’m serious! I am not even messing around! I know you don’t watch soccer, but seriously this victory is soccer’s version of the Miracle on Ice if only it happened in the preseason. Everyone knows that the US never beats good teams, as a matter of fact we usually end up getting beat by third world countries that cant even afford shoes for their team and that is why it is so sweet that they beat the BEST team in the entire world. A team that had set an international record with 15 straight victories and had tied Brazil’s record unbeaten streak of 35, that’s who the US National team defeated. And BAM, just like that, the shoe is on the other foot and the rest of the world knows how the Americans felt when the Dream Team couldn’t even make it the medal round at the Basketball World Championships.

We beat a team that could afford shoes!

LSU defeated Texas in the College World Series on Thursday in one of the closest matched championship series that…no one really watched. Damn it come on people! The College World Series is better than the BCS and the Final Four put together, because unlike football, Baseball settles the championship on the field, and unlike basketball most college baseball players don’t bolt for the pros after their freshman year. They either go straight from high school to the show or they bang it out in college for four years. That’s why this years match up between LSU and Texas was such an epic battle because both teams were national powerhouses that were stocked with talent. So here’s to the new College Baseball National Champions, the LSU Tigers. Enjoy it while you can because we’re going to kick your ass in football.

Lastly lets give a shout out to one of the sexiest women on the planet back in the 70’s, Farrah Fawcett. She will be missed.
