SNIFFING AROUND THE MAX SCHERZER RUMORS

Yesterday was crazy in Yankeeland. First thing I see when I log in to Twitter is that Max Scherzer has a deal on the table from the Yankees. Not even an hour later I am hearing the rumor isn't true at all. It made my head spin, and I am sure it made a lot of other fans do the same thing. It's been a quiet winter so far....so you throw a big name like Scherzer in there and of course all hell is going to break loose.So where are we at? As of last night...

SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST TOXIC

We all know that person…and if we don’t chances are we are that person. They just seem to bring drama along with them like a toothbrush on an overnight stay. It isn’t always their fault, some of these folks don’t intend to be trouble, and they just automatically find it. They can often seem like a weight on our shoulders. What do we do? How can we make sure these negative forces of nature don’t take us down with them? The answer is simple, but can...

SHOPPING FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM

I just spent the last 24-hours shopping.  My friend and I hit door buster after door buster from about 6:00 p.m. on Thursday through about 9:00 p.m. Friday.  I digress, I really started on Wednesday morning with an online order to Best Buy, and I am not counting that, nor am I counting the quick cyber search to the H.H. Gregg site for Dr. Dre Solo2 Beats (don't tell my 13-year-old).  I got some deals, had some laughs, had some frustrating...

REMEMBER RAMIRO PENA? SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HIM

Ramiro Pena was a good solider for the Yankees when he was with us.  But he ended up going to the Atlanta Braves, where he apparently start sporting a goatee. While there, he had a .258 average with 6 homers and 21 RBIs.  Anyway, because he's a former Yankee, I like to keep you all in the loop.  There is news in Pena-land.Pena was outrighted by the Braves.  Right now, he's out of a gig. But there is no question he'll get picked...

GIVING THANKS... FROM ME

As always, I wanted to send a message to the Bleeding Yankee Blue audience, but today, I also want to take a moment to give a big hug to my second family.  My writers.Since the birth of BYB, there has been a writer running this thing but then my writers came along to help me out and with that, our amazing audience followed. But you would never be there if we as writers didn't get this thing off the ground.  As Muhammad Ali once said, "Me,...
