Keidel: The Pinstriped Perils Of Yankees No-Show Michael Pineda

Keidel: It’s Time For Phil Hughes To Pitch Up To Snuff For The Yankees

Aside from a brilliant half-season during an 18-8 2010, Hughes has been a huge disappointment. Now, nearing 27, with the sheen of youth scrubbed off and the “upside” banner quite tattered, it’s time for Hughes to pitch up to snuff.

Keidel: Side With Clyde? Walt’s Waltz Around The Miami Heat

If Miami breaks the record and records another championship, they should stand tall next to any team that has ever played, no matter the age, wage or wager. Maybe by that time Frazier will see a little more clearly.

Keidel: The Jets Need To Deal Darrelle Revis, And They Need To Do It Now

The Jets need to deal Revis now. Not next year, not next month, not next week. Don’t wait for the perfect offer, because there isn’t one.

Keidel: Shallow Hal Steinbrenner Should Have Signed Hamilton

George Steinbrenner’s commitment was never questioned, but Hal Steinbrenner isn’t following his father’s lead.

Keidel: It’s Simple, Really — Knicks Lack The Winning Knack

For the few of us New Yorkers who don’t root for the Knicks, it was unfettered ecstasy to watch the whiplash they got from the Nuggets, who blew by them during a blowout that doubled as a slam-dunk contest. The Knicks can’t play offense or defense.

Keidel: Jeter’s Meter Drained; Will Yankees Captain Sniff Another World Series?

It’s quite likely that Derek Jeter won’t feel a Fall Classic under his feet again. And you need not be a Yankees fan to see how sad that is.

Keidel: Please Stop, B-Hop — Bernard Hopkins Is Boxing’s Version Of Rolling Stones

Hopkins is now the boxing version of the Rolling Stones — jamming to the oldies, catered to the crowd once so proud to call boxing their favorite sport, with Hopkins the last emblem of the sport’s onetime eminence.

Mariano Rivera

Keidel: The Immortal Mariano — The Greatest Yankee Since Babe Ruth

Sweeny Murti and I agree that Mo is the best Yankee since Babe Ruth. Even if we’re wrong, that’s the kind of stratospheric company he keeps when a man rises from mortal to mythology.

Keidel: Melo, Mellow, Melodrama — There’s Been No Pride Since Clyde

Why is losing unacceptable with the Yanks, Mets, Giants and Jets, but not the Knicks? Has it occurred to anyone that the Knicks are the emblem of mediocrity? Worse, they are largely losers.

Keidel: Equal Rights Under Spotlights

The fact that no one in American team sports has come out while still active in his sport says everything.

Keidel: Not So Big East — Once-Great Conference Will Soon Be A Carcass

Soon the Big East will be a carcass, an empty vessel inside which will grow the weeds of recollections, snapshots and video tape. Some things evolve, other devolve.

Keidel: Brady’s New Deal, Jets’ Same Old Deal

Is it a coincidence that Robert Kraft has crafted an empire while Woody “I can’t get enough Tim Tebow” Johnson’s franchise has floundered for decades?

Keidel: Here’s To You, Robinson Cano

It’s good to be Robinson Cano. The homegrown Yankee with the savant’s swing has his employer bent over one of the most opulent barrels in baseball history.

Keidel: The More We Hear From Revis, The Less We Want To Hear From Revis

One of the beauties of football, where on-field narcissism is suppressed by pads, helmets, flags and facemasks, is the ancient axiom that no player is above the team. Revis is quickly forgetting.
