Thanksgiving Top 10
I've done this in the past and figured why not do it again. In the spirit of giving thanks, here are 10 Yankee-related things I am thankful for this year:10) This blog and for everyone who reads it - still can't believe people do - thanks!9) The MLB channel on XM Radio - I don't know what I'd do without it8) Brian Cashman bringing in CC Sabathia, Mark Teixeira and A.J. Burnett7) Being at game 2 of the 2009 ALCS and getting to see Jerry Hairston Jr. get a pie in the face6) I'm not a Red Sox fan5) The "Core Four" - I hate the moniker but love the g

Mauer Wins MVP, Teixeira Finishes Ahead Of Jeter
The AL MVP was announced today and the winner was rightfully, Joe Mauer. I have no qualms whatsoever with his selection. Mauer was without a doubt the best player in the American League. The only beef I have with his selection is that it wasn't unanimous. How anyone voted Miguel Cabrera first is beyond me? There's always one stupid writer that messes up every vote. But that's for another entry.I was more interested in seeing who finished higher in the voting, Mark Teixeira or Derek Jeter

What Would You Do-ooh-ooh For A Hall-A-Day?
I read yesterday on MLBTradeRumors that per Jon Heyman, the Yankees have contacted the Blue Jays about Roy Halladay. Well duh. I could have written that and had a 99.9% chance of being right. This isn't anything to salivate over or get worked up about. Not yet anyway. The Yankees have to do their due-diligence and at least check in about Halladay's availability, especially now that the new Jays GM has said he'd trade Roy within the division. It wouldn't be good business if t

Shall We Play A Game?
Earlier this past season, I got into a healthy debate about 2 players with a friend of mine. He preferred the Yankees have one and I preferred the Yankees had the other. I'm curious who you would prefer to have if you solely look at their stats. I don't want to give away their identities until later. All I will say is that they play the same position and one is a current Yankee. I'm sure you can figure out who is who if you tried but no cheating. Just go off of what's below and make the call. I'm curious to know who the majority prefers solely based on what's below.Player A: 27 year old RH (7 mos. older than player B)2009 Plate appearances: 724AVG: .286OB
