Today I’m going to make claims with zero data to support my theories – which I usually try to avoid – but I’d bet a large sum of money I’m correct. I’m not on social media as much as I used to be (Blue Sky is the only app you’ll find MBP on nowadays) but … Continue reading How to be a Yankees Fan

With regards to yesterday’s fist pump generating come from behind … Continue reading Three Takeaways From Yesterday’s Game
Hi. We may have met, I’m the guy who’s defended Aaron Boone from day one. As I’ve delineated, the Yankees have overachieved with him at the helm in his six seasons in the Bronx, and team overachievement, to me, is the mark of a good manager (much better than “but…but…rings!”). And despite the common criticisms … Continue reading Once the Towel is Tossed, We Can Change Course
