YES, BYB WRITERS CAN NOW DO RADIO APPEARANCES. CALL US...

I get emails on occasion asking if I will come on to talk on a radio show or A podcast.  I did it once and a while and loved doing it. In fact, I made some real friends being a regular on a Sports Radio Chicago show, and then I became buds with Paul Chivari out there in Chicago.  In fact, you can read his piece called TALKING CHISOX VS. YANKEES WITH A CHICAGO GUY.   Chivari did a guest piece for us there, and our podcast appearance is there as well. It's great.  Here's another one with Dynasty Sports Empire below...



Love those guys too.

The point is, I love to do it, but sometimes life gets in the way and it's difficult for me to get out there! But I still get requests and instead of turning radio and podcasts down, I am letting the radio community know, that if you want one of us at Bleeding Yankee Blue to join you, myself, Suzie Pinstripe, Jeana Bellezza and Mike O'Hara will make ourselves available to talk with all of you.  All you need to do in return is plug Bleeding Yankee Blue, and treat us with respect as we would to you.

The second thing you need to know is we WILL hopefully and eventually be setting up our BYB Podcast at some point soon as well.  Again, it's about time, and I barely have any... but if we can figure it out, we will get it done... somehow... someway.  I know the BYB community would like it, because we've been asked about it a lot.

Look, Bleeding Yankee Blue started because I was pissed about the Yankees one night and made a version that was then shared with a few friends.  That was in September 2010. Never in a million years did I think this product would last, or would be read by nearly 6 million people since it's birth.  But it's happening, and it's wild and I love every minute of it.  And now, with podcasters asking if we'd appear, I am happy to say that we will.  Me, Jeana, Suzie and Mike will do it.  And over time, once some of our newer writers become ready... they will do it too.

It's about progress.  But it's about respect... and I appreciate so many radio folks reaching out.  So, as a way to reciprocate.... we will start to make ourselves available.

Thanks for the confidence in us.  Thanks for believing in our product.  We are now ready for that next step.

Just reach out to me on Twitter or Facebook and we'll set something up.

MARIANO HAS LOST WORSE, YET CAME BACK STRONGER

There was a ton of press coverage over that silly Mets walk-off win over Mariano Rivera and the Yankees 2 nights ago.  Why? Is it really that big of a deal? Good for the Mets, they played a clean game and won. Mariano is not a machine. He is human after all.

Now I'll tell you something. Mariano has been down before, but like Sylvester Stallone once said in Rocky Balboa, "It ain't how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." Sure, mock me for quoting a movie, but it rings very true. Mariano has moved on from the bad loses and have come back stronger.



We lost to the Red Sox in that unbelievable comeback by the Sox back in 2004.  We lost hard to Luis Gonzalez and the Diamondbacks in 2001, a World Series we probably should have won.

But the bottom line is, those dramatic and hard losses are 10 times harder than a simple walk-off by the Mets.

I was asked about Mo yesterday on Dynasty Sports Empire's Morning show. I love  those guys over there and they do a great job.  They asked me simply about Mo and what to make of the guy at 43.  Here is that exchange:



The full interview is HERE.  Bottom line, Mo's human, but Mo is the greatest closer of all time and he always will be.  There will never be anyone better, greatest, tougher and I truly believe that.  I also believe in failing once in a while.  Failing will only being you back to a stronger point later on.  It allows you to push yourself harder the next time.  That's Mariano... simply the best as he walks through his career being challenged every single day.

The Mets won on a walk-off off Mariano Rivera, the greatest closer ever the other night.  Sure, it's news, but it's not earth shattering... it's baseball.... can we just move on now?

SUPPORT DYNASTY SPORTS EMPIRE BECAUSE THEY SUPPORT BYB

I like to help people out and I like when they help us out as well.  I wanted to bring your attention to something.  The gang is called Dynasty Sports Empire Baseball.  Whenever we here at Bleeding Yankee Blue post something, the first re-tweet we get is usually from DSE.  They are supporters of us, they treat us with respect, and in turn, I wanted to let you guys know that they gave us a nice mention on their podcast last week when we released our exclusive interview with Ty Hensley, post-surgery.  Read BYB EXCLUSIVE: TY HENSLEY TALKS POST SURGERY. You can listen to their shoutout below.


And this post is our shout out to them. If you're on Twitter, they are at @DSE_Baseball. Like them, follow them and support them, they're good people.
