Nice to see the Yanks do what it seems like everyone does to them late in the game.

Is it too much to ask for a clean inning from your closer?

@BoxingCertified Lol

@rkmatchmaker Happy Birthday to your lovely wife!! I still can't figure out how she chose you. Smdh

Wishing my wife a very happy and healthy birthday. How does she look so young and I look like shit...lol. 3 more days until mine. Lots of May birthdays!

Finally!!! That's all I got to say.

This team has been extremely boring the last couple of weeks. We need the Martian and Stanton back to inject a little life into this lifeless team.

@TrisDixon @mandrzeje Donnie Fleeman? Thank God for boxrec...lol

@rkmatchmaker @mandrzeje Nope.

This man passed away in 2012. I have a long piece going up about meeting him on my Substack tomorrow and no, he’s not stood in front of a picture of Randy Orton. He fought Ali and beat Ezzard Charles…

@TrisDixon @mandrzeje What?

@JacobBSpeaks Nah..'32 Yanks had 3 HOF'S 71 Orioles only team ever with 4 20 game winners 54 Indians were also better

The Yankees could possibly have the best starting rotation, maybe ever? Realistically, picking him up could strengthen the pen by forcing Weathers/Warren into the pen for a LR role that would remove Blackburn and/or Yarbrough. If not that, something would be worked out.

@MatthewAguilar5 On 2nd thought maybe not...lol

The two most notable kickboxers-turned-boxers are Troy Dorsey, the former IBF 126lb champion who was the first kickboxer to win a world boxing title; and former heavyweight title challenger (and actor) Randall “Tex” Cobb, who fought on national tv as a kickboxer.

@MatthewAguilar5 Got to disagree on Dorsey Matthew my vote goes to @ChrisAlgieri

Man Judge is 1 for his last 22

Tommy John name that Yankee question

Austin Wells...even a blind squirrel...

@PippaGary This is devastating news Gary. I'll always cherish the Fusco-Dragone matches I made at the County Center. I truly liked Kenny. So sad. RIP

Sad to report that an old friend,Kenny Fusco passed on Monday. A welterweight who boxed in the 70s & 80s. finished with a record of 11-3 - 9 KO’s. He got cancer after volunteering at the World Trade Center after 911. He’s the third person I know who died after volunteering there.

Judge and Jazz are going in opposite directions in the batters box and guess who's heading in the right direction.

@JacobBSpeaks Clay Holmes was misused Jacob that's on Cashman and Blake.

I’ll say this first, Bednar’s curveball left over the center of the zone is inexcusable and he needs to be better. But, life as a Yankee closer is probably the most impossible job to live up to in baseball. With a fanbase and probably an org that constantly compares you to the best closer of all time, you’re expected to be the definition of consistency and excellence in a position that is the most volatile in the sport. Relievers by nature have steep periods of being good and bad, that’s why they’re relievers. There’s one (maybe two) actual closers in baseball that could possibly provide better results in the short-term than Bednar, but you have to consider this: - The Yankees fanbase and org ran Aroldis Chapman out of town. He’s within the Top 10 in Saves all time, and will finish within the Top 5 maybe this year. He’s had a 1.05 ERA and 42 Saves with Boston over the last 2 years. - The Yankees also had MULTIPLE previous closers as members of their bullpen in 2025, including the consensus “best closer in baseball” (Devin Williams) and two of them were run out of town, including Luke Weaver who’s career the Yankees literally rejuvenated. Doval is also currently outside the circle of trust. - Clay Holmes was run out of town, after posting an all-star season in the role in 2024 and a 2.69 ERA (154 ERA+) for the Yankees over four years as the defense let him down multiple times to prompt multiple blown saves. Now he’s a starter for the Mets, with a 3.26 ERA and accruing value no one thought possible. (I hope his leg heals soon.) So let’s say the Yankees make a move at the deadline. How long before the vicious cycle continues because that closer IS NOT MO? I’d wager to say it wouldn’t take very long, no matter who they are. Miller, Duran, etc, doesn’t matter. They’re not the best closer of all time. Will the fans and organization ever understand what an actual “good” closer is in the current era of baseball? Probably not. But it’s something to keep in mind.

Shocked to hear Aroz "Terrific" Gist passed suddenly. Worked many of the shows we did in Jersey, a good, solid, trainer/cornerman and genuinely a really nice man. RIP

Gotta get Wells outta here send him down bring up whoever is the AAA catcher, can't do any worse. From day 1 I said this bullpen was the achilles heel. Cashman will have the honor of not winning a world series for 17 yrs, a Yankees record.
