At 12:01 Sunday morning the free agency frenzy begins. Teams are able to negotiate with any of the free agents on the market. We’ll keep you updated on any news that breaks. Stay tuned.

The Yanks have already bounced Chad Gaudin and Royce Ring has declared free agency, among other moves. No need to go into detail about Jeet, Mo, Cliff Lee and the others. We all know the story.

I completely understand them wanting Kerry Wood, but apparently the Cubbies are interested in Nick Johnson too. O_O Are you kidding me? That has to be a joke. Have fun with that.

Not too shabby.

Before I forget, here are the first annual Yanks Go Yard Awards for the first half: (more…)

Some less-than-encouraging injury news out of the Bronx on Wednesday: Swish Dog says his injured left biceps is a “one-more-day kind of thing” and he feels good but “there’s still something there.” He tried to take batting practice during Tuesday’s game in an effort to pinch hit, but felt he couldn’t go. Georgie went for [...]

Some news and notes before the Yanks and Sox play tonight for what seems like the 100th time this season: CHoP, who hasn’t played since mid-April due to a hamstring injury, is expected to be has been activated from the DL. You probably think I’m going to make a diarrhea joke here. Well, you’d be [...]
