I have done two Spartan Races at Citi Field, but I never did a mud run. Until Sunday. Thanks to yesterday’s rain, the Staten Island Half Marathon became an obstacle course of its own, between precipitation, unrelenting wind, tons of puddles, and the end of the race covered in mud. And I had the time […]

I was outside an empty Yankee Stadium this morning when Squawker Jon told me the awful news: that Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez had died in a boating accident. I couldn’t believe it. How horrible. I couldn’t help but think of the loss of Yankee captain Thurman Munson when hearing about Fernandez, especially given Yankee Stadium looming […]

Fun news: I got another very cool invite from the good folks at Verizon, and had a fun evening last night thanks to them! Last year, I got to sit in Verizon’s suite at Citi Field for a Mets game and cover Opening Day — and test out the Verizon Ellipsis 8 tablet. Last night, I […]

Sorry I haven’t been Squawking much as of late. I’ve been busy in real life with a number of things, most notably my training for the New York City Marathon. The race is a little more than six weeks away! I’m running over 40 miles a week now and have had three training runs of […]

Lots to absorb from the A-Rod Yankee farewell, so I wanted to take it all in before Squawking on it. As befitting his career, the night was weird and odd, yet still captivating. Squawker Jon and I were at The Mockingbird, a bar in the Lower East Side, having a jalepeno margarita when the pre-game stuff was going on. The […]

I’ve been writing about Alex Rodriguez since 2006 in this space. And I’ve NEVER seen the media be on his side more than this week. That’s in no small part to the slimy, dishonest way Joe Girardi has handled A-Rod’s final days. Heck, even Red Sox fans, with their “We want A-Rod” chants, think Alex […]

Billy Witz of the New York Times has an article today talking about how the Boston Red Sox bade rival Yankees Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter goodbye, and wonders what the franchise will do for Alex Rodriguez. Witz points out that a slew of Boston sports legends — Yaz, Bobby Orr, Luis Tiant, etc. — were […]

Yesterday’s A-Rod presser was must-see TV, although it was a little weird to see Yankees PR guy Jason Zillo announce to the room the big news — that A-Rod’s last game would be Friday, and that he would be a special advisor until December 2017 — before Alex was talking. And it was all very […]

Last night, I saw on Twitter the big news: that Alex Rodriguez is going to be holding a press conference on Sunday morning at Yankee Stadium, with Brian Cashman and Joe Girardi as special guest stars. And the Yanks are mum on what it’s all about. So that means that speculation is running wild. Is […]

Sorry I haven’t Squawked in a while. Joe Girardi Squawker Jon put me on the bench until I get my numbers up. But then he wouldn’t let me Squawk to get my numbers up. Talk about a vicious cycle! Seriously, I’ve been training for the New York City Marathon, and my life is pretty much […]

I was watching last night’s Yankees-Red Sox game, and I felt sorry for Michael Pineda during the loss. The look on his face for each of the three home runs he gave up was really sad. Did you know that his 5.56 earned run average is now the highest ERA in the American League among […]

Two big things happened in Squawkerland yesterday. I was extensively quoted in a Yahoo! Finance article about the Yankees/Stubhub ticket debacle. Click here to read the piece, and thanks to Daniel Roberts for putting me in his article! And Squawker Jon and I were at one of the best MLB games of the year last […]

I have something in common with Carlos Beltran: a sore right hamstring. In fact, I am currently on the running disabled list because of it! My running coach wants me to get some rest and get this better as soon as possible, so that I will be able to run this year’s New York City […]

I’m glad I didn’t stay up after the rain delay started last night to watch the end of the Yankee game, or I would be fit to be tied. Imagine staying up until 2:15 a.m. to see the Yankees lose! I’m also still pretty irate over StubHub making this terrible deal with the Yankees. Too much […]

I was going to do a Squawk last night about the New York Yankees finally coming to terms with StubHub. The Yankees Ticket Exchange is no more, and StubHub will be taking over as the official secondary market for Yankees tickets. But I wanted to make sure I heard the full terms of the deal before […]
