C. Edmund Wright makes an excellent analogy to explain why government officials aren't qualified to run the economy : Can Barney Frank Dunk on Lebron? No, he cannot. Nor can anyone else in Washington. Nor can they catch passes from Ben Rothlisberger in the Super Bowl or strike out Derek Jeter in the World Series. They are not equipped to do so. So what? This ridiculous image speaks to the business...
The American League Most Valuable Player Award hasn’t been handed out but we already know the winner. The New York area will try to hype up Derek Jeter or Mark Teixeira for the award but the catcher in up in Minnesota is by far the most deserving player in the league. Joe Mauer, the catcher for the Twins, didn’t catch a whole bunch of attention in 2009 but he had one of the best seasons...

Fair warning, there is no real news value here, just a list you might find interesting. At the end of the 2009 season, the 10 longest consecutively tenured Yankees were… 1. Mariano Rivera (non-drafted free agent, February 1990) 2. Jorge Posada (24th round, 1990) 3. Derek Jeter (first round, 1992) 4. Chien-Ming Wang (non-drafted free agent, May 2000) 5. Jose Valdez (non-drafted [...] Click on...

More photos » by Reinhold Matay - AP Browse more photos » On Monday afternoon, I fully expect Joe Mauer to win his first MVP award after finishing sixth in 2006 and fourth last year. Joe led the AL in batting average while hitting for respectable power (28 HRs) in only 138 games, most of which were as a catcher. He led the Twins into the postseason after they trailed by three games with...

Heads up - I recently started up another blog, Swan Squawking , as a place for all my non-sports-related musings. Coming soon - my thoughts on the new TV show "Glee," which I just started watching. You also may remember that Squawker Jon and I are big fans of "The Twilight Zone" and Jon has made "Twilight Zone"-related comparisons this year about Derek Jeter and the Mets'...
Minka Kelly is in St Barths this week with her boyfriend, New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter. He’s really famous, so I have to sweeten the pot if my plan to steal her away is gonna work. The commercials for Kay Jewelers suggested this Loves Embrace pendant. While the world may [...]
It’s been just over a year since Derek Jeter introduced the world to his latest girlfriend, Minka Kelly, by revealing her at a Texas-Missouri Saturday night football game. Now he’s a World Series champion so it’s time to turn up the heat by taking her to St. Bart’s and getting in some beach and bikini time. Let [...]
Yeah, you read that title right, it said Minka Kelly bikini pictures. And yes, they're just as hot as you hoped they'd be. And yes, that's Derek Jeter, Minka's boyfriend, and one lucky sonofabitch. I think you'll agree that...
Yankees Captain Derek Jeter is celebrating his team's win in the World Series quiet nicely. He has been seen vacationing in the Caribbean with his hot girlfriend Minka Kelly. She is the star of ‘Friday Night Lights'. There is no stopping the luxuries for the smart Yankees captain Jeter and his babe Kelly, as they are staying at a luxury beach house in St. Barts. There have been some sizzling...
Link-O-Rama Zack Greinke outed himself as an FIP-loving stathead after winning the AL Cy Young. Obviously the true test will come when the AL MVP is announced Monday, but so far at least I'm very pleased with how the Baseball Writers Association of America has voted this year . They've matched my choices for AL Cy Young , NL Cy Young , and AL Rookie of the Year while disagreeing only on NL Rookie of...
NEW YORK – If the knock against Yankees manager Joe Girardi is that he's been overmanaging his way through his first postseason, well, let's put it this way: At least he's got plenty of help. Girardi has enough computer programs to make stat geeks envious and the best scouting department money can buy. A binder chock-full with matchups and color-coded charts is never more than an arm's reach away....
PHILADELPHIA – Game 3 of the World Series between the Yankees and Phillies started Saturday night after a rain delay of 1 hour, 20 minutes, the second consecutive year wet weather affected the schedule in Philadelphia. In a light mist, Phillies left-hander Cole Hamels threw the first pitch to Derek Jeter at 9:17 p.m. Andy Pettitte started on the mound for New York. The grounds crew came out to remove...
GREEN BAY, Wis. – There is an empty space in the Ring of Honor above Lambeau Field where Brett Favre's name will fit perfectly. Someday. Right now, the emotions are still far too raw. The boos are still ringing in Favre's ears after his first game in Green Bay since signing with those hated Minnesota Vikings. From the time he jogged onto the field for pregame warm-ups until he left four hours later...
