RECESSION? NOT HERE?





Recession Proof Yankees! That is absolutely right, during these economic times only the Yankees can afford to spend and offer players a boat load of "dinero." With the creation of the new stadium the Yankees seem to have moved away from the old baseball tradition of offering middle class families and blue collar workers some entertainment value. The new stadium is completely geared to offer corporations and upper class individuals the life of luxury for merely 3 hours. Even the bleacher seats are now obstructed by the member's only "Mohegan Sun Sports Bar!" Wghile the financial capital of the world continues to struggle during this recession only the Yankees seem to overcome this epidemic. With the MTA and the NYC cabs both raising their fares, you would think that the Yankees would keep prices the same or offer better ticket deals for season ticket holders to help families go to the game, NOPE! Instead the Yankees have shafted hundreds of season ticket holders by either moving them to another location (higher up seats or obstructed views) or hiking up the prices. With all these banks and corporations failing, how exactly are the Yankees getting all of their funding? You cannot expect nothing less because the Yankees are the "Yankees," playing in the greatest city in the world, they are expected to be above the rest. In this case they are clearly above banks, corporations, and probably even the government, damn those RECESSION PROOF YANKEES!

Important Stretch....



The New York Knicks have an important four games coming up. They will be going up against the bottom tier that are battling for the 8th and final spot to the playoffs. For the Knicks it is a tremendous improvement indeed to be in this position considering the past few years of embarrassment and disarray! They will be playing the Charlotte Bobcats tonight, the New Jersey Nets tomorrow, Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday and Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. They must beat the Bobcats , Nets, and Bucks. This is by far an important stretch of games that could determine the fate of the rest of the season. Larry Hughes seems to found his shot along with his legs. Wilson Chandler would need to be more consistent from the perimeter. Danilo Gallinari needs to perform like he did the other night to help Nate Robison by providing bench scoring. Let's see how the Knicks play out this stretch of important games. Although it is an improvement from last year, making the playoffs will make it that much sweeter!

An Eastern Rivalry!



Game to watch tonight! Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Boston Celtics. This game will have a playoff attitude and the players know how important a win would be since they could potentially see each other in the Conference Finals!

Say It Ain't So!!



Back in January, I stated in a blog that the Cowboys would be nuts to let go of a player with his caliber. Well, I guess the Cowboys are really cleaning house! But remember one man's trash is another man's treasure! Let's see how many offers T.O. gets? Which team is willing to sacrifice their locker room (and QB) for a chance for a championship?
