As the 4 p.m. Major League Baseball deadline approaches, potential playoff contenders are scrambling to find new toys to employ for the final postseason push. The New York Yankees—usually avid shoppers and big spenders this time of year—have been relatively quiet so far. But do Mr. Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman have a blockbuster wrapped up

Idle Mets Lose Big

Written by Jason Singer on July 31, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

After playing 18 games in 18 days since the All-Star break, the New York Mets finally enjoyed a day off yesterday. But even with the idle date on their schedule, the boys from Queens had to feel like they lost big when they crawled into their beds last night, as both the Atlanta Braves and

Orioles, Rumors Get Best Of Yankees

Written by Jason Singer on July 30, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

After feasting on the minnows of Major League Baseball since the All-Star Break, the shark that is the New York Yankees traveled to the shores of the Chesapeake Bay this weekend to face the floundering Baltimore Orioles—a team headed for their 10th consecutive losing season. Much to the Yankees’ chagrin, however, the Orioles showed they

Mets Helped By Castro, Mother Nature

Written by Jason Singer on July 30, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

Author Richard Bach once said, “Every problem has a gift for you in its hands,” and after yesterday’s game, the New York Mets will testify that no saying rings truer. Just one day after All-Star catcher Paul Lo Duca went down with a pulled hamstring—seemingly a disaster with fellow All-Star Carlos Beltran suffering from a

“No, I’m not on the fucking list!” I said impatiently (minus the foul language, of course) to the clipboard-wielding twentysomething that stood between me and the Richard Kidd launch at The Dactyl Gallery on Grand Street last night. Normally, I’m all for the faux-elitist velvet rope pretension of Soho—then again, normally, I’m on the list.

Glavine And Padres Both Get Pounded

Written by Jason Singer on July 20, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

Friday the 13th came and went six days ago and there was no full moon at PETCO Park in San Diego last night, but something eerie certainly haunted the air. Despite the fact that the New York Mets spotted Tom Glavine six runs before he ever threw a pitch, the wily lefty and future Hall-of-Famer

Seventh Hell

Written by Jason Singer on July 20, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

Canada has always hated fun. Look no further than their anti-gun laws and Celine Dion as evidence. Yesterday was no different, as Toronto spoiled the New York Yankees’ bid to sweep the Blue Jays for the first time since 1995. Yankees starter Chien-Ming Wang retired the first 11 batters he faced and cruised through the

Barry Bonds blasted No. 752 and No. 753 at Wrigley this afternoon, bringing him within two home runs of Hank Aaron’s immortal record. The Bay Area Bomber led off the second inning with a solo blast over the ivy, giving his team a 1-0 lead over the Chicago Cubs. Later, in the seventh inning, he

Euphoria Extinguished

Written by Jason Singer on July 19, 2007. Posted in Posts, Sports

The Mets celebrated like obese Belgian children at a chocolate store last night as David Wright rounded the bases. The New York third baseman had just delivered a game-tying, three-run home run that completed a gritty comeback against the NL-powerhouse San Diego Padres. The Mets, down 4-0 through six innings, came roaring back to knot
