Congratulations, New York Yankees!

Kate Czlapinski — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:08:55 +0000

As you may recall, I am a life long fan of the New York Yankees, so it would be remiss of me to not take a brief moment to congratulate the 2009 New York Yankees on their 27th World Series title. Winning the World Series is of course always special, but this one somehow [...]

Dear Baseball Gods,

You were the only gods whose existence I acknowledged let alone actually prayed to, but that’s now over. I hope you enjoyed it, because we are no longer on speaking terms. We’re finished. I hope you have fun living it up with Red Sox Nation, because you will no longer be welcome [...]

Chants of “We Want Torre” could be heard in the 9th inning of Tuesday night’s game versus the Red Sox, as the Yankees lost their 5th consecutive game (and every game so far this season) to our division rivals. It was pretty painful. I don’t know that we necessarily want Joe Torre back managing [...]

First Yankees/Red Sox Series of the Season

Kate Czlapinski — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 22:15:09 +0000

Tonight at 7:10 is the first (of many) Yankees / Red Sox games this season and I am really looking forward to it. It’s always special when the division rivals meet, but that first time in a new season is a particularly exciting event. I’m sure tonight will be no different. Kevin and I [...]
