• After Runs Don’t Flow, Mets Hope Ideas Will
  LOS ANGELES — In the wake of another shutout that ended a disastrous 2-9 trip, the Mets headed back to New York perhaps facing some changes. The Mets’ failure to hit and score runs has reached almost crisis levels, and team officials will meet Monday to discuss possible solutions. One of those could be reassigning the [...]
• Leaving Mets Put Herzog on a Path to the Hall
  When Whitey Herzog’s baseball Hall of Fame plaque is unveiled Sunday, his bronze likeness will be topped with a St. Louis Cardinals cap, emblematic of the team he managed to the 1982 World Series championship. But if history had played out differently, that likeness of Herzog might have sported a Mets cap. After playing for Washington, [...]
• Far From Bronx and Bombast, a Bucolic Setting
  It is, in short, peaceful and unremarkable. George Steinbrenner’s final resting place, an unmarked, salt-and-pepper marble mausoleum, sits just inside the gates of the 60-acre Trinity Memorial Gardens cemetery. Deer roam nearby and dragonflies flit. A long tree line buffers the cemetery from a new school and some budding subdivisions. A cow pasture sits close by. [...]
• With Lineup Back Together, Piece of Mets’ Rotation Implodes
  The Mets finally had the lineup they had been waiting to field for months, with Carlos Beltran and Jose Reyes playing together for the first time since May 20, 2009. The fact that the lineup managed only two runs was a little disappointing for the Mets, but hardly the focus of concern on Monday [...]
• Is a Slump a Reason for Concern? Not to Jeter
  When Derek Jeter heard the word “slump,” he reacted as if he had heard a curse word in church. His face showed distaste; his tone was professional but dismissive. “I don’t sit around talking about a slump,” he said. Jeter’s results in the Yankees’ most recent game did not indicate he was having trouble at the [...]
• And Now, the Goodbyes
  The Yankees will return to the field in the Bronx on Friday night and will hold their annual Old-Timers’ Day on Saturday, and both of those games appear to be shaping up as informal public tributes to George Steinbrenner, whose long reign as owner of the Yankees ended with his death on Tuesday. The Steinbrenner family [...]
• Armstrong Distances Himself From Doping Inquiry
  CHAMBÉRY, France — Lance Armstrong, a focus of a federal investigation into possible fraud and doping on the now-defunct United States Postal Service cycling team, distanced himself from that investigation Wednesday, saying that he was just a rider for the team and had no knowledge of what went on within its management. “The most glaring thing [...]
• A Desire to Win Helps End a Streak of Futility
  ANAHEIM, Calif. — As Scott Rolen launched himself headfirst at the third-base bag, it was as if he were turning back the clock to 1970 when another Cincinnati Red had no intention of losing an All-Star Game — Pete Rose, who barreled into Ray Fosse at home. When Rolen made his furious dash in Tuesday night’s [...]
