Pet

Andy Pettitte may not be the most dominate pitcher, he was never the ace of any rotation, but he won a lot of games. Sports are measured and defined by winning and Andy Pettitte did plenty of that in his career. Pettitte was part of 8 different World Series (7 with the Yankees 1 with the Astros) he won 5, all with the Yankees. He is part of core four along with Jeter, Rivera and Posada and a major part of the Yankee dynasty years.

Game 2 Division Series

Don Mattingly follows Ruben Sierra’s home run with one of his own in the bottom of the 6th inning to give the Yankees their first lead of the night. In what would be considered one of the greatest games in division series history, clocking in at 5 hours and 12 minutes (was also the longest playoff game at the time), that Mattingly home run is what will always be remembered by one Yankee fan.

I’m going to try and project what the Starting lineup is going to produce this year. Its very difficult to predict what will happen because injuries do occur, but its still worth a shot to try and predict the production. I will also try to predict some of the statistics for the Starting Pictures and Mariano Rivera as well.  I have left off middle relievers and bench players.

Washington Redskins Past and Present

PLEASE LIKE THIS PAGE

The Washington Redskins are one of the most profitable teams in the National Football League.  They also have a less than spectacular record since being acquired by Daniel Snyder from a group headed Jack Kent Cooke, Jr.  Fans of the Skins, as they are known in D.C., wonder how long it will take for the team to pull together a strong winning season and possibly post-season play.  The current owner has thrown a massive amount of money towards purchasing players that he believed would place them on the road to dominance in the NFC and the NFL.  Unfortunately single players
