A Child's First New York Yankees Game

Levack — Thu, 02 May 2013 12:01:49 +0000

This Saturday marks a huge milestone in my parenting career. I am taking Bells to her first game at Yankee Stadium. I can’t tell who’s more excited, me or her. I have been blessed that my daughter shares my love for the Yankees and now that she’s been playing softball and been to a few [...]

Yankees Salute Boston With Sweet Caroline [VIDEO]

Levack — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 10:53:27 +0000

In moments of extreme stress and sadness, I have always found relief and distraction in sports. Biggest distraction in my life is THE RIVALRY!!! The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox are the greatest rivalry in all of sports and some think hate is at the heart of it. Last night showed RESPECT is really the center of it all.

Yankees And Red Sox Start Seasons Today

Levack — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 13:01:12 +0000

There’s just something about Yankees Baseball starting that makes me feel Summer approaching. This year it seems everyone is counting the Bronx Bombers out before the first pitch is even thrown so I say bring it on and what better way to start a season with no chance of winning then beating the Red Sox? [...]

Kevin Youkilis Is A Yankee

Levack — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:57:03 +0000

I am a life long fan of the New York Yankees and I've always tried to respect the Boston Red Sox for what they bring to what I still consider the greatest rivalry in all of sports. That being said some players get as much hate as I can muster for someone I've never met. Kevin Youkilis is one such player and now he's a Yankee!

It’s almost post season time in Major League Baseball. So it’s time to talk about what the Yankees need to do to win the AL east.The “magic number” is the number of games the Yankees have to win to clinch the AL East. With the Orioles being so close the Yankees need to win seven [...]

Will The Yankees Miss The Playoffs?

Jake Thomas — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 21:39:48 +0000

Anywhere I go these days I hear the anger of upset New York Yankee fans as they watch the Bronx Bombers collapse before their eyes coming down the stretch. The pitching is coming apart at the seams, and the bats are quiet as the Yankees keep dropping games and are in a literal free fall. [...]

Scott Blaine — Mon, 21 May 2012 19:12:49 +0000

If you have ever been to various events in the Albany area you may have seen “Mini Hulk”, the local Hulk Hogan look-a-like. Facially, he looks like Hogan, but certainly not the physique. I have seen this guy at SPAC at numerous shows and many times as well at Buffalo Wild Wings in Clifton Park, [...]

Yankees And Red Sox Rekindle The Rivalry Today

Levack — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 12:32:04 +0000

This is a great baseball weekend because the Boston Red Sox will celebrate Fenway Parks 100th Birthday by hopefully getting swept by the New York Yankees. Neither team has started out that hot, but none of that matters when these rivals face off. This is normally where I will take mean and sometimes uncalled for [...]

Yankees Fans Need To Settle Down!

Levack — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:07:24 +0000

I openly admit this is not the start to the 2012 season I was hoping for or expecting. However please keep in mind there are 159 games to go. Being swept in any series stings and watching it happen in Tampa Bay with the boring, lazy and almost silent Rays fans looking on is almost [...]

I love baseball. I used to watch a lot of minor league baseball in this area as a kid. The Albany-Colonie Yankees were the best!A lot of others can even remember when Glens Falls had The White Sox and Tigers minor league teams as well. It was always fun to see the players and wonder [...]

162 games in the book and we've only just begun. October is where legends are made! Who will step up and pitch lights out? Who will hit a towering home run to win a key game? Most importantly what team will rise up and become the World Champions? My bet is we end up with a rematch of 2009 Yankees and Phillies

CC Sabathia Perfect Until The Rains Came – Levack Rant [AUDIO]

Levack — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 12:58:14 +0000

There are rules in the sports world! You may think they are silly superstitions but to me and my people they are a huge part of the game. If your team always wins when you wear a certain shirt, YOU HAVE TO WEAR IT EVERY GAME, never call a game a sure win and NEVER say somebody is pitching a perfect game

Respect for The Red Sox – Levack Rant [AUDIO]

Levack — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 13:31:11 +0000

In today’s Couch I tell you why the Rays need a new stadium and do the unthinkable. Something you rarely hear, I pay respect the Boston Red Sox. It is a poor excuse for a baseball fan that can’t acknowledge a talented team. So I admit they are good but I still don’t like them.
