No More…


So it happened. Another sad day in sports journalism as The Washington Post has eliminated its sports section.

From The Associated Press X feed:

BREAKING: The Washington Post eliminates its sports department and reduces overseas journalists in large-scale cuts, an AP source says.

Until then…

Never Forget!

If tears come streaming down your face on this day it's OK. This is a day of remembrance and to "Never Forget." This day is known as 9/11. It is the 24th anniversary of September 11, 2001, and a time to remember loved ones and first responders who were lost that day.

Yankees Fading Fast

With a strong start to the season, the  Yankees  now find themselves struggling to win games as they have lost their last six games, the last two to the crosstown rival  Mets . The Yankees have a 48-41 record and are sitting three games behind the  Toronto Blue Jays  in the AL East.  The news also got worse for them, as Clarke Schmidt is likely facing Tommy John surgery, and Aaron Judge was hit in the face by a baseball tossed by Anthony Volpe in between innings. With the trade deadline coming up, the Yankees need to look at pitching and third base options. If they have  World Series  aspirations, they need to make improvements, or they may not be playing in October. — Joe Boesch
