Hello faithful readers,I know it's only been a week or two, but change your bookmarks. The Madness of King George is moving to the Most Valuable Network. Starting today, you can find my writings about the Yankees over at Off the Façade. I'm joining the MVN team as one of their Yankee writers. I hope you will continue to read my work over at Off the Façade and at 360 the Pitch as well.

The following article can be found online at 360 the Pitch. Click the link and check out the growing site.For those of us living in New York and bleeding Yankee blue, the 2005 campaign, set to begin on Sunday, is all about redemption. It's about redemption for embattled steroid-users. It's about redemption for an All-Star third baseman famous for the Slap. And it's about redemption after the

When Joe Torre announced his rotation today, Jaret Wright became the odd man out. As the fifth starter, Wright won't get to start until April 14, nearly two weeks after his last Spring Training start.The Yankees' official site had more info: Because of the three off days during the first 10 days of the season, Torre and pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre opted to skip Wright the first time through,

The suspense was killing me. Would it be Game 7 goat Kevin Brown? Would it be Jaret Wright? Maybe it would be a surprise start like Mike Stanton. I just had no idea. Luckily, today, Joe Torre finally ended the waiting.That's right. It's official; Randy Johnson is starting Opening Night Day for the Yankees. He'll square off against David Wells as the Yankees look to start the season off by utterly

I know who stole Roger Clemens' infamous Hummer.It wasn't some Houston kid looking for a joy ride. No, it was George Steinbrenner. Or at least, one of George's henchmen.Think about. The Yankees give Roger Clemens this Hummer as a retirement present. They wanted to thank him for those years of service to the team that included a few World Championship appearances. They wanted to thank one of the

Spring Training stats are great. After four months of baseball trades, signings, and rumors, the stats that come out of Spring Training are tangible evidence that baseball is happening again. Plus, when else would Gabe Gross lead the Majors in home runs and Tony Womack be hitting .488? Spring Training stats allow imaginations to run wild with scenarios of "what if."What if Jose Reyes keeps

When you're the New York Yankees, Spring Training isn't really about any position battles. It's not about watching your starting second baseman and starting right fielder retire as the Devil Rays had to do this week. It's really about tuning up for a tough season with high expections. That's not to say that there aren't position battles in Tampa right now. There are, and the disturbing thing

No, I'm not going to entertain you with bits and pieces of my face on a Jumbotron while The Who sings behind me. But I will introduce myself as I embark on my latest blog, this one focusing on the Yankees.I am a native New Yorker, and a Yankee fan since birth. Don't believe me? Let me just get those pictures of me at six-months old decked out in full Yankee regalia.I am a college senior at a
