New York Yankees

The momentum is building.

Last Friday, the Texas Rangers defeated the Yankees, ending New York's title defense, and sending Brian Cashman's front office into overdrive.

Cliff Lee, the Rangers ace, and the Yankees ace for a few hours on July 9th, will start game one of the World Series. But what uniform will he be wearing next season?

The battle for Cliff Lee is shaping up to be just as interesting, and perhaps more important than this years ALCS. And the teams in it? Texas and New York.

Who gets Cliff Lee? My moneys on New York. World Series ring or not.

According to USA Today, Texas Rangers’ ace Cliff Lee's wife Kristen was harassed by New York Yankees fans, who spit and threw beer in her direction while also yelling obscenities. The Rangers ended up beating the Yanks, and have moved on to the World Series.

Cliff Lee has a good chance of playing with the Yankees next season, and his wife said that what happened with the fans won’t change her mind about the city.

The New York Yankees teams in the past would spend their money at astronomical proportions during an offseason following an early playoff exit.

One must hope the Yankees of this season will not follow the same model as it has proven to be detrimental over the course of time. The Yankees do not need to spend big on free agents, but instead should look to within and infuse youth into an aging roster.

The Yankees opened up their new palace last year. There was something lacking at their new stadium.

Sure, the food over there is awesome. No one can escape watching that enormous jumbotron at the stadium.

With that said, something did not add up. We saw many empty seats in the field level. It was detectable watching no one behind home plate.

You really must be kidding me.

Every Yankee fan you ask will tell you that Cliff Lee is going to be a Yankee next season—no matter what, lock down guaranteed. The Yankees can pay him the most and offer him the best chance to win championships.

Well, it might benefit Yankee fans to control themselves a little bit when it comes to Lee's family members.

It’s been a few days since the Bronx Bombers dropped Game 6 of the ALCS in Texas.

Cheating, betting, and scandals have been a part of sports ever since the beginning, whether it's to gain a competitive advantage over an opponent, rake in some extra cash, or a temptation that was just too hard to resist.

The only thing worse than all of those things, though, is lying about it. Sooner or later the truth will come out, and when it does, get ready.

These 10 sports figures lied to millions of fans, and are worthy of being named the top 10 liars in sports history.

Mickey Mantle has become better than Joe DiMaggio despite the fact that Mickey played his last game in 1968 and Joe played his last game in 1951.

How is this possible? The answer is that it is not possible.

During his career, the baseball writers and the fans excoriated Mickey because he wasn't Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Joe DiMaggio rolled into one.

Fans of the New York Yankees are still in shock over the defending champs quietly-into-the-night finish in the 2010 ALCS. And while there are the Knicks to look forward to, the true pinstripe die-hards are already focusing an eye on what looks to be a busy offseason.
