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 [...]

Thoughts On David Ortiz’s Steroid Use

Kate Czlapinski — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 03:28:21 +0000

I wasn’t going to comment on the recent news concerning David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez testing positive on a performance enhancing drug test back in 2003, but I thought as a proud Yankees fan, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention it. The thing is… well, it’s complicated. My feelings about it are [...]

Dear Baseball Gods

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 [...]

Yankees / Red Sox Rivalry

Kate Czlapinski — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 22:29:43 +0000

If you haven’t caught on by now from reading this blog, I’m a pretty big Yankees fan. I’ve been routing for them since I was a little kid and my parents would take me and my younger brother to at least one game almost every season. Living in Connecticut can make being a baseball fan quite [...]

We Want Torre

Kate Czlapinski — Thu, 07 May 2009 23:33:26 +0000

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 [...]

.500 Record at New and Improved Yankee Stadium

Kate Czlapinski — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 21:25:42 +0000

So after this afternoon’s 6-5 win vs Cleveland, the Yankees have a .500 record while playing at the new Yankee Stadium (unless you count the exhibition games vs Chicago). It definitely would have been nice to get a win yesterday for the big home opener (their 10-2 loss was a a disappointment at best – [...]

A 360° View of The New and Improved Yankee Stadium

Kate Czlapinski — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 11:36:04 +0000

I have been a Yankees fan since birth… As a kid, we used to go to at least one game every year, but as an adult I just don’t get there as much. Last season, because it was their last season in the old stadium, Kevin and I made it a point to go [...]
