Two days after the Yankees mourned the death of their longtime PA announcer Bob Sheppard, the Yankees said goodbye to their beloved owner, Geroge M. Steinbrenner III. Mr. Steinbrenner died of a massive heart attack at the age of 80 in Tampa, FL. Under his ownership, the Yankees won 7 World Series and 11 American League Pennants.
There is no doubt that some of the behaviors displayed through the years by Mr. Steinbrenner were controversial to say the least. But he bought the team for a little over $8 million in 1973 and turned it into an empire worth billions, and didn't do it for the money. He did it because of one thing....winning.
The world lost a great man today.

RIP Bob Sheppard (1910-2010)
Bob Sheppard, the voice of Yankee Stadium and Giants Stadium for over 50 years, died this morning at the age of 99. He will always be in the hearts and memories of all the Yankees and Giants players and fans who had the privileged to hear him call the names of so many great players through the years. He will be greatly missed.

Robinson Cano Having an MVP Type Year
Ever since Robinson Cano came into the fray as the everyday second baseman for the New York Yankees, the comparisons to Rod Carew and the like were coming from every direction. As I watched this kid for the first time in 2005, I thought in no way would he live up the the expectations set forth.
Boy was I dead wrong.
Cano has not only held his own with the bat, but his fielding is nothing short of spectacular. He supports a lifetime .984 fielding percentage and has a stellar arm for a second baseman. His ability to turn the double play is something to watch. The time it takes for him to field a ground ball and release to second is one of the shortest and best in the league. His range in both directions also are a huge benefit to his defensive game.
But where Cano is most notably excelling is at the plate. Batting behind Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira, he has had his fair share of RBI opportunities, and he has taken advantage. He currently is second on the team to Arod with 53 RBI's this season. But Cano leads the team with a .359 batting average among the everyday players, a testament to his ability to take the ball the other way as he demonstrated in extra innings yesterday. Cano in the 10th inning against the Dodgers struck a line drive that landed 5 rows deep in left center to give the Yankees the lead which Mariano Rivera closed out. Time and time again, Cano has shown the ability to spray the ball hard all over the field. His hitting chart amply displays how evenly dispersed all of his hits are. Cano also has the advantage of the short porch at Yankee Stadium in right field, which he has taken advantage of since he came here. It would be a mistake though for Cano to turn into a pull hitter and to get too caught up in the short porch in right.
Kevin Long is to be given en enormous amount of credit with what he does, especially with guys like Cano and Arod. I always see him continuously talking with players before and after at bats not only going over scouting reports, but working on techniques and simple tendencies hitters sometimes fall into. The only knock you can possibly have on Cano is his batting in the postseason. He is still young, and playing on a team like the Yankees, he will continue to have plenty of opportunities to show why he is one of the best second baseman in the league, as demonstrated by the All-Star voting. Cano is a sure thing to be the starting second baseman for the American League in Los Angeles for the 2010 All-Star game. If he continues his hot bat in the second half of the season, you could be looking at the 2010 American League MVP.

2010 MLB Quarter Season Report
Its a little more than a quarter of the way through the 2010 baseball season and there are some interesting stories brewing in baseball so lets hit a few.
Stephen Stasburg has absolutely destroyed hitters so far in AA and AAA minor leagues for the Washington Nationals. He is 6-1 with a 0.89 ERA in minor league starts this season. The Nats are expected to call him up to make his Major League Debut in the early part of June. Can't wait to see the kid in the majors.
A lot is being made about David Wright having the day off last Tuesday. Please do not make a big deal about this. Every player needs a day off every now and then. You need them to be sharp physically and mentally for the course of 162 games. Wright has hit well since taking the day off, he will be fine the rest of the season. The Mets on the other hand are not fine. After a 9-0 home stand in late April, the Mets have cooled off considerably thanks to horrible starting pitching. John Maine was pulled after 5 pitches on Thursday, and Oliver Perez has been moved to the bullpen. Mike Pelfrey has been the only solid starter of the 5. Jason Bay has only 1 HR, Jeff Francoeur and Jose Reyes are batting .215. Basically, the Mets are not hitting, and they need to find a bat and find it quickly. The call-up of Ike Davis has gone well, but you can not put the weight of the team too much on the kid. Wright and Bay must start hitting if Jerry Manuel wants to keep his job.
The Toronto Blue Jays are 6 games over .500 and 15-9 on the road this season. With the loss of Roy Halladay, I expected the Blue Jays to lose around 90+ games this season, however I give manager Cito Gaston a lot off credit, but lets see if they continue this streak through 162 games.
The Baltimore Orioles are struggling and I believe manager Dave Trembley will lose his job by the end of the year. Nick Markakis is the only regular player hitting above .300 and their best pitched Kevin Milwood has yet to win a game, he is 0-4.
The Yankees have gotten unexpected production out of Francisco Cervelli and Brett Gardner. Mark Tiexiera had his usual April and did not wake up until May. He is still only hitting .204 and must pick up his production. The Yankees can not expect the bottom of the order to carry them all year. The Yankees are winning because of their starting pitching. Phil Hughes is 5-1 with a 2.47 ERA and has totally electric stuff. The ageless Andy Pettite is also 5-1, with Sabathia and Burnett having 4 wins. The only bad spot is Javier Vazquez, who looks a lot better since being skipped last week. He pitched well against the Tigers in a no decision, and picked up a mop-up win against the Red Sox in relief, and then pitched a gem against the Mets. The Yankee bullpen, aside from Mariono and Joba, is a mess. Alfredo Aceves is hurt, causing Nate Robertson to be overworked. Chan Ho Park and Boom Logan have been ineffective. The Yankees need to get healthy, Granderson will be off the DL by next weekend, and Posada will be back next month. Nick Johnson is probably done for the year, so look for the Yankees to go out and get a bat. They just need to not fall too far behind the Rays by the trade deadline.
The Rays are the best team in baseball so far at the quarter point. They have the number 1 team ERA among starting pitchers with David Price leading the way with a 7-1 record with a 2.41 ERA. Shields and Garza each have 5 wins. The Rays are unstoppable. They are getting big time production out of Evan Longoria who has 38 RBI. Zobrist and Crawford are also producing and producing well. If the Yankees struggle with injuries and the Red Sox keep struggling, the Rays could run away early with the division.
The Red Sox are a struggling ball club to this point. Josh Beckett has an ERA over 7 and has been put on the disabled list. Their starting pitching must be better because they offense is not going to carry them. Ortiz is showing his age, and the numbers are not coming or him. Youkilis and Victor Martinez can not carry this team by themselves. I picked he Red Sox to miss the postseason this year. They have to pick it up if they want to keep pace with the Rays and Yankees.
Jason Heyward has been a rookie sensation for the Atlanta Braves and looks to be the front runner for rookie of the year. The Braves are keeping pace with the Phillies. Tim Hudson and Derick Lowe are pitching well, but the rest of the rotation has been shaky. Melkey Cabrera has not been producing so far, but Erik Hinske has. Its going to be an interesting race in the NL East this year.
Roy Halladay has been leading the Phillies starting pitchers, going 6-3 with a 2.22 ERA. Every time he steps on the mounds, you would expect the Phillies to win, and that will bode well later in the year and the playoffs. The offense is still their with Utley, Howard, and Werth. Whether the Phillies win or lose will come down to the rest of their starting rotation, if Cole Hammels and Jamie Moyer keep pitching the way they are pitching, they will be the NL East champs at the end of the year.

New York Yankees 2010 Preview
Its that time of year again. The time when your putting away the shovels and the boots you find that dusty baseball glove laying in the corner of the garage. Time to dust that baby off. Spring is here, and that means baseball is here too.
The New York Yankees are coming off their record 27th World Series Title and 40th American League Pennant after an exhilarating 2009 season. The new stadium opened and the atmosphere could not have been better last season. However last season is last season, and we Yankee fans know, its no good unless you can do it all over again. Lets take a look at the projected lineup, starting rotation, and key additions and losses.
Starting Rotation
L C.C. Sabathia
R A.J. Burnett
L And Pettitte
R Javier Vazquez
R Phil Hughes
Starting Lineup
SS Derek Jeter
DH Nick Johnson
1B Mark Teixeira
3B Alex Rodriguez
2B Robinson Cano
C Jorge Posada
CF Curtis Granderson
RF Nick Swisher
LF Brett Gardner
Key Additions: Curtis Granderson (OF); Chan Ho Park (RHP); Marcus Thames (OF); Randy Winn (OF); Nick Johnson (DH/1B)
Key Subtractions: Johnny Damon (OF); Phil Coke (LHP); Hideki Matsui (DH); Ian Kennedy (RHP); Chad Gaudin (RHP)
The Yankees traded for Curtis Granderson early in the off-season and said goodbye to Melky Cabrera, who came on last season but was very inconsistent in his time with the Yankees. Granderson is the perfect clubhouse guy and an outstanding team player with a great swing suited for Yankee Stadium, but his defense in the later part of last season is a concern for me and I'm sure a lot of other Yankee fans. You wouldn't mind lesser numbers from Granderson this year if his defense is significantly better. With all the power in front of him, he just needs to be consistent.
After what could have been a disaster for the Yankees last year in the playoffs, the Yankees do not want to go through what they went through last season, and that is carrying only 3 starting pitchers in the postseason. Even though it worked out, the downfall is far too great in a best of 7 series. So the Yankees went out and worked out a deal with Javier Vazquez. Many Yankees fans cringed when they heard of the signing. Not me. Vazquez is perfect for the role he will play on this team. He will not be called upon to be their ace like he was in 2004. The pressure is no where near the level this year it was back in his first stint with the Yankees. The Yankees didn't have to go out and sign John Lackey or trade for Halladay or Cliff Lee. They have their top of the rotation set, and anything more would just be greed and an overkill.
The biggest question entering spring training was who was going to be the fifth starter. After a month of competition, Phil Hughes will be the fifth srater, leaving Joba Chamberlain to the bullpen, where he belongs. Another year learning from the greatest of greats Mariano Rivera will mold Joba into the closing role once Rivera retires, which I believe will be after this season. Joba had a bad spring and Hughes won the job decisively. With Joba and Rivera, along with Mitre, Marte, Robertson, and Aceves, the bullpen is in good hands. With Hughes in the rotation, if Pettitte stays healthy, the Yankees have a rock solid starting five, definitely one of the top five in the MLB.
There were some losses for this team. Johnny Damon is an irreplaceable clutch hitter. The Yankees will definitely miss his presence both in the clubhouse and once October rolls around. But the blame can only go to Damon. He was offered a 2 year $14 million contract by the Yankees but declined it, seeking more. The Yankees parted their ways and went and traded for Granderson. Damon reluctantly signed a one year $8 million dollar contract with the Tigers after he tried to go back to the Yankees who had moved on. Damon will be missed, but I thought the Yankees treated Damon fairly. Hideki Matsui on the other hand I don't understand. I thought when the Yankees got rid of Nick Johnson the first time it was a mistake, and Brian Cashman desperately wanted to bring him back. But after the postseason Matsui had, it is mind boggling to me that the Yankees did not even offer him a contract. If I had my choice at DH of either Matsui or Johnson, I choose Matsui any day of the week. But Matsui is not getting any younger, and whether or not he can play in the field is still a question. Nick Johnson is versatile and can give a few guys here and there a day off by playing the field.
With everything still intact and a few minor moves this off-season, the Yankees look poised to defend their World Series Title in 2010.

Welcome
First of all let me start by introducing myself and stating my sports alliances.
My name is L.J. and I am a 21 year old college student. I attend the University of Central Florida, originally from Long Island, NY and moved to a small town called Niceville, FL. Love sports, love talking about, watching it, sometimes re-watching it.
We'll start with football because obviously that is the most popular sport in this country right now. I am a dedicated New York Giants fan since 2004. I have followed the team religiously since that time. During my pre-teen years I was never a football fan, in fact I HATED football for reasons I can not think of today. College football is the reason I started watching football in the first place. Moving from the northeast to the south, you can see a huge disparity in the following of college football. I am a huge fan of the Florida Gators.
Baseball I stand with the 27, YES 27 time World Series Champion New York Yankees. I went to my first game in 1995 and I haven't looked back since.
Hockey is a sport that I am most passionate about even though it does not get the publicity that the other 3 major sports get at least in the States. The New York Islanders are a team rich with history and unfortunately for me that history took place before I was born, but I am hoping in years to come I will be there when they write some new history. And I'm not talking about history that has them moving to Kansas City.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I was an intern/sales executive for the New York Islanders during the summer of 2008.
Basketball is a sport that is hard for me to watch, because I can't really get into it, so you will rarely see me write about it in this space unless its something major.
I am an avid golfer and my ups and downs live with Phil Mickelson. Ive been playing since I was 3 years old thanks to my father and grandfather.
Now that you know my teams, know that I am a knowledgeable sports fan. You may hear me rant about my struggles rooting for some of my teams, but you will never see me write something I can't back up. Yes I loath some teams, the Dallas Cowboys and New York Rangers among others, but I give credit where credit is due.
I welcome all comments from all sports fans, but please do not write anything that is not FACT, and keep comments on the topics I am talking about. Also I know we will disagree, probably often, on most topics, but personal and silly attacks will not be tolerated and will be deleted. "Are you stupid" and the like included. Please have respect for me and fellow readers.
I will update as often as I can with topics going around in the sports world, plus on some topics I sometimes have to vent about (Probably after Islanders loses after blowing 3 goal leads), but I hope you enjoy the blog and have some fun.
