Yankees place Hughes on 15-day DL

Yankees right-hander Phil Hughes has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right oblique. The team made the announcement during Wednesday's game against the Tigers. Hughes, the youngest pitcher in the Major Leagues at 21, took a pounding in the Yankees' 6-4 loss to the Tigers at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday.

Pettitte, offense stall in loss to Tigers

The bruised and battered Yankees sent out a lineup without Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada on Wednesday, something they'll have to get used to for at least the next two weeks. As New York's disabled list continues to swell, they can only hope to have other players step it up in the games following an uninspired 6-2 loss to the Tigers at Yankee Stadium.

Major League Baseball Blogs - An Important part of the sport

Baseball is truly America’s Pastime. Let’s face it, as Americans, we just cannot get enough of this sport. With so many games to watch, a fan can be easily overwhelmed, and it can be very easy to get lost in all of it. This article will help you to stay organized as a baseball fan. Why limit yourself to one team? Follow more than one..we will teach you how.

With the popularity of the web today, there are literally hundreds of ways to track your favorite teams, players, and news. Below I will list some of the more popular and well organized sites on the web. Need a place to dwell, then look no further than this list to guide you on your way. Do not get left behind and limit yourself to only the daily newspaper to follow your favorite sport.

Let’s start with the obvious ones:

1. Espn.com: This is your one stop for all sporting news, scores, trades, and rumors. Although this site can provide you with everything you need, it may be a little overwhelming and you may simply get sucked into the the “other” sporting news.

2. MLB.com: This one is, in my opinion, a very straightforward and easy site to use and keep up to date. This site lacks a little luster, as the articles can often be a little boring.

3. Foxsports.com: Same as above, but blends them both together.

OK, now for the fun stuff…. Fans need a place to interact, a place to simply unwind and say what is on their minds. These places are often best found in the form of forums and blogs. These sites are where the true fans dwell. Want a riveting sports conversation to partake in? Well you have found the right section.

Lets take a look at two very different varieties of these sites. The first one is the all encompassing Major League Baseball forum. These blogs will often cover all baseball news, and will often add some sort of value for the reader. They either allow them to interact, write their own articles, and most importantly actively participate in any and all discussions.

1.www.MajorLeagueBlogging.com - This site covers all of the major league baseball teams. They tell it like it is and can simply make baseball more interesting. Combine this fact with the fact that they do weekly giveaways of sporting tickets, memorabilia, and other cool stuff and you have got yourself a winner.

The second variety is the player/team specific blog. These blogs focus on a particular player or team. Let’s take a look at one of these:

1. www.TheJobaRules.com - Like the Yankees, or more specifically Joba Chamberlain, then this site is for you. This is just an example of one of the many individual player sites around. Like a specific player? There is probably a place dedicated to them!

Thanks for taking the time to read through these ideas. Please take a look at the sites listed above, and we promise you will not be dissapointed. Don;t be left behind in the wonderful world of baseball, get with the web and go!

Return in two weeks possible for A-Rod

While Alex Rodriguez will miss at least 15 games after being placed on the disabled list on Tuesday with a strained right quadriceps, the team believes he may be back as quickly as two weeks. The disabled list assignment is Rodriguez's first as a Yankee and his first since 2000 with the Mariners.

Joba’s father leaves hospital

The father of Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain left the hospital after recovering from respiratory failure brought on by pneumonia.

Delgado Snubbing Fans?

Should Carlos Delgado have come out of the dugout for a curtain call? With the rain out yesterday it gave the media yet another day for this question to fester… The fans are upset, and Delgado claims he had no ill intent. Do you believe him? When someone goes 4 for 40 and then hits 2 bombs, fans usually expect a curtain call.

Let us ask this question though, do all players going through a 4-40 skid get boo’s? Not all of them, only those that they expect more from. In this case Delgado fits this bill perfectly. We expect more as fans from our players. We always want more.. we are paying their salaries after all. I personally feel that Delgado should have given the fans what they wanted, seeing how he has failed to do so for the first 25 games.

“Sometimes you do things and you have to live with it. If that’s the case, that’s the case,” Delgado said during an engaging 20-minute back-and-forth with reporters. “What am I going to do, turn around and say to Willie (Randolph), ‘I’m not going to play because they’re booing me?’ I don’t think that’s going to happen, sir.” He also responded, “Not by any means” when it was suggested the constant booing rapidly has turned the Shea atmosphere into an “us-against-them” mentality.

Stewart up as Posada visits Andrews

Yankees catcher Jorge Posada left the team on Monday en route to a consultation with noted sports orthopedist Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala., seeking clarification on the injured right shoulder that has forced him onto the disabled list for the first time in his career.

Should Joba Chamberlain be a starter?

Here is the question of the day…Should the Yankees phenom Joba Chamberlain become a starter? Well lets look at this logically. Hughes and Kennedy have done nothing to prove that they are truly ready for this level of competition. I feel that the most capable man for the job is indeed Joba. Let’s say we move Joba into the starting 5…. Wang, Pettite, Joba, Hughes, Mussina. Sounds nice right? I feel that this move may indeed be the best one to make… What does everyone else think?

Albert Pujols the next home run king

Albert Pujols, in my opinion, will be the all time home run king some day soon. Just look at his career numbers so far.

Major League Baseball - not so pure…

Steroids and HGH are a major concern in baseball today. Remember the days when records meant something? When players were on an even playing level? Well unfortunately, my most recent memories of baseball scream “Is this guy for real or is this just the juice talking?”. I wish I could experience what my father, and his father experienced…baseball in it’s purest form. Clemente, Robinson, Aaron, Banks, Mays, Mantle. You know all of these names… names that will live on forever. Sure we have a few great names to go with, but which ones have a question mark over their head? More on this another day…
