AROUND THE MAJORS & KATE UPTON

Miguel Cabrera: Holy crap this guy is a monster.  Congratulations to Miggy for winning the Triple Crown, the first time since 1967 when Carl Yastzremski did it when he was with the Red Sox. Incredible and dare I say, give the guy the MVP too. Anyway, you can read about it HERE. On a side note, classy move by the Royals fans who gave Cabrera a standing ovation.  That's class.

Bobby Valentine: Yeah, the Red Sox fired Bobby V today, read about it HERE. He deserves it, he wasn't terribly good.  It's not a good thing when the team you have on the field won't play for you because they don't respect you, plus it wasn't a good team.  Look, I don't believe in kicking a man while he's down, so, let's just say I wish Bobby the best of luck... at ESPN or in Japan or something.  I predicted it, he would be exposed for the non-champion he was. Read HERE and HERE and HERE. Good luck old pal.

RA Dickey: I love this guy's story and I love that he's in the running for the NL Cy Young award with 20 wins this season.  Couple that with a Mets team that couldn't win and he looks even better.  I hope this guy gets it, he deserves it. 20-6 with a 2.73 ERA. Atta boy.

 Adam Greenberg: Speaking of RA Dickey, Adam Greenberg finally got an at bat since the first time he had an at bat in 2005 with the Cubs and got clocked in the head.  I mentioned in THE BLEEDING YANKEE BLUE NEWSSTAND XVII that Greenberg signed a 1 day contract with the Miami Marlins, a 7 year comeback tour and kudos to the Marlins for giving him a shot.  In his first and only at bat, Greenberg struck out on 3 straight pitches from RA Dickey, read HERE. The strike out doesn't matter, Greenberg's courage is all that matters.  Congrats pal!

Kate Upton: Upton is in a new Cosmopolitan Magazine spread and it's all over the Internet.  BYB is a fan of Upton and will promote her any chance we get.  It helps her and she helps us.  And it's kind of silly too if you think about it, she has nothing to do with the Yankees. Anyway, the Cosmo spread is HERE.
