Actually, I only had three beers over the course of 4 hours I was at Nat’s Park on Opening Night. Instead of alcoholic inebriation, I went home drunk on Walk-off-Winning, Stadium-Christening euphoria. It was, in a word: AMAZING.
I think the guys at NationalsPride.com (the kind of one-team-focused blog I’d hope to have if [...]

Uh-oh
Here’s a dilemma for non-evil-doers (which is to say for Democratic Yankees fans), courtesy of LoHud Yankees blog:
The Yankees are 61-43-1 on Opening Day, 28-10 at the Stadium. They are 16-11 in presidential election years. When the Yankees win at home on Opening Day, the GOP is 4-1 in the election. When the Yankees lose, [...]

With “friends” like this….
File under “Thanks, I guess”.
In today’s NYPost, Mike Borzello, former Yanks bullpen catcher and A-Rod confidant tells Joel Sherman there’s no way A-Rod could have been doing steroids without Borzello knowing:
“No way, with as much as this guy trusted me, would he have kept that part of his life secret from me. He trusted me [...]
