    Sabathia Rediscovers His Pitch

    by Jeff on April 12, 2009

    The New York Yankees got exactly what they expected out of C.C. Sabathia when he began throwing Saturday night. Sabathia had a very slow start on opening day, giving some people worry.

    Sabathia threw 7 2/3 innings keeping Kansas City to just six singles and zero walks.  His downhill angle fastball, which originates from his 6-foot-7-inch, led to six strikeouts, including 3 of the first 4 hitters.

    We previously wrote about Sabathia, and his opposition on the mets, at our post on New York Pitchers.

    March 30, 2009

    Every year, as warmer weather melts the remaining sheets of snow revealing dirt and faded grass, we look down and wonder what will return. Will the seeds of last year’s flowers, which came out of nowhere to grow strong in the summer sun, return even taller and brighter? Or will they arrive unspectacularly, outshined by some [...]

    Sixty Feet, Six Inches

    January 15, 2009

    With housing prices plummeting, foreclosures rising, and nearly a $1 trillion bailout needed to stop the bleeding, who would believe that ownership of one particularly attractive property has never been more lucrative?  I’ll give you a clue: it is perhaps the most important and most fiercely contested piece of real estate in the history of mankind.
