The Sunday Sports Section
ByEvery Sunday it seems like there are tons of Yankees links in my reader. They’re all worth a read, or at least a glance, kind of like the Sunday sports section. I’ll try to make this a regular thing. This way, you’ll also know about what time I wake up on Sundays.
- “Nobody in this organization is mad at Alex,” said Yankees president Randy Levine. Again, when camp is as quiet as the Yankees’, manufactured controversy is sometimes all we get. Also, check out a video of Andrew Brackman at the bottom of the article.
- Some Q&A with Curtis Granderson from Marc Carig. He explains how he keeps up with his heavy community activity schedule in addition to the questions about hitting lefties and his eyes.
- The umpires have already made changes for the 2010 season. It appears we will no longer get a chuckle when Randy Marsh calls balls and strikes. He’s retired and will become a supervisor, as has Charlie Reliford.
- Looking for profiles? John Harper does CC Sabathia, and Joe LaPointe does Kei Igawa. I guess it’s a lefty pitcher themed Sunday. For the geeks, a profile on DeAngelo Mack.
- Also for the geeks: sabermetric primers. Graham MacAree at Lookout Landing runs down his. You can also take a free online sabermetric course.

Spring Training Countdown
Just 5 days 'til pitchers and catchers report.Banner Design By
they should retire umpires every spring, I hereby nominate Joe West for 2011!
I nominate C.B. Bucknor to retire, I find it very hard to watch any games he’s a part of. He has to have some vision problems. Terrible at 1st, 3rd and Home. Retire already!
guess LaPointe drew the short straw
Edited by RAB: I don’t see what this has to do with any of the stories.
“It appears we will no longer get a chuckle when Randy Marsh calls balls and strikes. He’s retired and will become a supervisor…”
I wonder if it was due to the “people who annoyed him”
Heh.
Like anyone thought it was “naggers!”
That was a nice little article on Mack. Good to see he went back and finished school. Now let’s hope he doesnt need that degree.
At the end of the Brackman video, he is walking through the tunnel and has a strange gait. Its almost as if one of his legs is longer than the other or he has a hip problem. Hopefully its nothing.
Well for me the video was a little choppy, but he is 6’10″ so he’s not going to be as smooth walking as being 5’10″.
“That’s as it should be,” General Manager Brian Cashman said of Igawa’s diminished status. “He’s got to try to reinvent himself. He hasn’t lived up to what our scouting assessments were. Maybe that’s not his fault.”
Ooh, taking a shot at Pagliarulo
Brackman said for hazing they froze his keys in a block of ice, ha.
Anyone in NY know if games on TV today?
loHud says it isn’t on TV
This is really pissing me off. The frigging Mets are on teevee but not the Yankees! And the only broadcast available on MLB Mediacenter is the Twins’ local radio station. Looks like the Yankees and their media affiliates decided to just not send any broadcast team to today’s game.
Some solid links today. Good for DeAngelo for going back to school. It’s always wise to finish school if you can. Besides, a degree in Finance right now certainly isn’t the worst thing.
