THE BLEEDING YANKEE BLUE NEWSSTAND XI

This is an extra long Newsstand today because there are a ton of things going on around the world of baseball, the Yankees and just life.  You’ll love it…happy reading this Saturday.

DID VENTURA ACTUALLY FIGHT BACK? The first one comes from someone who analyzed the world famous brawl between Nolan Ryan and Robin Ventura from back in 1993.  Everyone walked away from that fight suggesting Nolan Ryan beat the ever living crap out of Robin Ventura, until you analyze it like this dude did...he's clearly a Ventura and White Sox fan. You need to appreciate the "fan" in this guy. Anyway, it’s a different perspective on what happened that day.  Check it out:
I appreciate this tape, What do you guys think?

THE CURSE OF CRAWFORD: Nothing brings me joy more than the Red Sox crumbling and the lack of play by Carl Crawford since he went to Boston.  Crawford is the perfect example of a guy working the system, getting the most money he could possible find from a team willing to pay up, and then…he shits the bed.  I haven’t been a fan of Crawford since he talked trash about the Yankees NOT signing him. Read HERE  how he felt after the Yankees drove up the price on purpose. He was clearly upset about it.  Well, I’m just glad he didn’t come to New York, it would have been an absolute disaster.  It’s being reported that the Red Sox actually tried to trade Crawford for Jose Reyes. That's an interesting nugget.  You can read that CBS Sports.com story HERE.  No team in their right mind is going to pay that kind of money. 

SPORTING THE BYB SHIRT: Tate was recently at Frontier Field  in Rochester, NY for a  home game of the Rochester Red Wings (Twins farm team.) There she wore her Bleedingyankeeblue.com shirt for the world to see. Love it! She got compliments, and took pictures at her at the park.  Tate, thanks for the free advertising, we appreciate the support and not only that, money went toward High Socks for Hope.  David and Erin Robertson are smiling.  Thanks!

THE METS HAVE PITCHING HELP: Matt Harvey made his rookie debut for them the other night and really did a great job racking up double digit strikeouts (11) in 5 1/2 scoreless innings, good for him. You can read an good piece about Harvey’s nice in the Bergen Record...read HERE.  The Mets don’t seem to have it this year, although they started strong.  Whatever the case, I love when kids get their shot and shine.  I tip my cap to you ?...but I still don’t like the Mets.

TRAVEL…YOU NEED TO: My buddy has started this great travel site, it’s called America Trek, click on the name to see it... you need to check it out.  Great places, great information and he’s trying to drum up alittle traffic. He also has one called Euro Trek.  If you love to travel and want to get more information about exotic and non exotic places,  has it all.  Pass it to a friend and get on board. You'll enjoy it.

IT’S NOT MINE! We all know Marisa Miller from her modeling photos from the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues over the years.  The picture above is for all the men who read BYB. She’s something else and she has been for many years.  Well, I found this picture just the other day of Marisa Miller…she’s got a baby bump! I found originally from an Erin Andrews Tweet, she tweeted the People story HERE. You gotta love twitter.
This is for all the ladies…everybody say “AHHHH”.  That’s right, Marisa Miller is expected.  Good for her and congratulations.  Many are puzzled wondering…”Why did BYB show this?” The answer? Because I can.

ORDER A BYB SHIRT NOW, DROB WEARS ONE! Also, Please comment, we have DISQUS, it's easier than ever. Let me know what you think and follow me on Twitter @BleednYankeeBlu and join the group Bleeding Yankee Blue on Facebook, just type it in.
