Kenny Ducey and Kris Venezia discuss the possibility of Brian Wilson joining the New York Mets, as well as other news including Andy Pettitte's reunion with Joe Torre at the WBC and Justin Upton vetoing a trade to Seattle.
In November of 2007, the Yankees signed 36 year-old Jorge Posada to a four-year, $52 million pact. At the time, they knew that it would probably be the final contract handed out to their longtime backstop, but what the Yankees didn’t predict is that his fellow core four buddies would still be marching on together in the year 2013.
Kenny Ducey and Kris Venezia react to the announcement of MVP, as well as the signing of Melky Cabrera and other news around the league.
For the fourth straight ALCS playoff game, the New York Yankees’ bats fell dormant, falling to Detroit 8-1. For the second time in six years, the Tigers are going to World Series.
In fact, the last time the Tigers made it there, they knocked off both the Yankees and the Oakland Athletics. They just might face the St. Louis Cardinals again too. For the Yankees, the game was a fitting end to their offensive nightmare of a postseason, and now an unpredictable offseason looms.
Thirty one years after the Beatles first landed in the United States, another famous quartet touched down for the first time in the summer of 1995. That year, under manager Buck Showalter, the Yankees won the inaugural American League wild card, and the core four all first put on their pinstripes.
Kenny and Kris discuss the Bartolo Colon supension and take your calls on steroids in baseball. They also calm worried Yankees fans and talk about what types of moves the Mets should make going into next season.
For many New York Yankees fans, getting a chance to meet the players, throwing out the first pitch at a game, and having the team throw a party just for you would all be bucket list items; once in a lifetime opportunities that may never be accomplished. On Wednesday, June 27th, Andy Fass did all of those things, and he is only five years old. Andy will start kindergarten in the fall, and he will have a pretty cool story to tell the other kids.
Listen closely, because I’m only going to say this once. Mariano Rivera is good.
