| Before pitchers and catchers even reported for spring training, the New York Yankees have made unwanted national news - again.
First came reports that the organization was gong to ask the city for additional money to complete its new stadium, then came Joe Torre’s book reviews that, among other things, had team mates referred to their star player, Alex Rodriguez, commonly known as A-Rod, as A-Fraud. |

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - In a comparison of New York’s third basemen, it’s no contest. Alex Rodriguez is a three-time MVP, a 12-time All-Star and the favorite to one day wrest the home run crown from the head of Barry Bonds.
Then there is David Wright, whose still blossoming career is not tainted by the use of performance-enhancing drugs. That type of integrity, that purity, is something that A-Rod can never get back, never erase, no matter how many home runs he hits or how many trophies he collects.
Wright, at the age of 26, understands that and seeing A-Rod’s confession before a national television audience on Monday night brought to mind the consequences of bad decisions. Though Wright was leery of talking too much about his Bronx counterpart, he clearly was torn between his obvious disgust for cheaters and a somewhat fractured admiration for A-Rod.
“You can’t ever condone using banned substances,” Wright said. “You can’t ever condone cheating. But with that being said, I think he did a tremendous job owning up to it and I think his apology was sincere. Kids and fans alike can look at the mistake he made and take positives from that and learn from that. When you have a guy like that who sits down and shows that kind of emotion, is apologetic and admits that he made a mistake - it takes a man to do that.” Read more..

A New York Yankees fan, Matthew Mitchell, is suing the Bronx Bombers, claiming he went to games and watched players who were “artificially enhanced.”
Fan Sues Yankees .. Not Happy With Attending Game To See Doped Up Players
The New York Yankees boast to be the team “Where Players Become Legends.”
Now, one die-hard fan is questioning the integrity of their catch phrase — in court.
Matthew Mitchell is suing the Yankees for $221 — the exact amount he paid for tickets to five of the games he attended between 2002 and 2007. His claim is filed under “failure to provide goods paid for.”
“I’ve been a fan forever, and now, there’s evidence — based on the Mitchell Report and common sense — it’s clear to me that what I was seeing was not a baseball game,” said Mitchell.

Roger Clemens & Andy Pettitte Dugg’ed Out As Using Steroids.
Oh No .. Not You Guys! Bronx Bombers Using Steroids?
The Yankees’ most recent championship teams, heralded by fans and sports writers as some of the most dominant squads in baseball history, were fueled by steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs, according to the explosive, long-anticipated report released Thursday by former Sen.George Mitchell.
The Mitchell Report identifies Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte, two of the biggest pitchers in Bomber history, as steroid cheats, but Joe Torre’s aces weren’t the only Yankee players alleged to have used the juice: Mike Stanton, Chuck Knoblauch, David Justice, Kevin Brown, Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield are also among the recent Yankees named in the report.
The 400-plus page report, the culmination of a 21-month investigation initiated by commissioner Bud Selig in March of 2006, includes MVPs, All-Stars and some of the biggest names in the game, including Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco and Miguel Tejada, as well as a large number of scrubs and journeymen.
