Things are slow for the Bombers as Christmas approaches. But that doesn’t mean the Yankee blogosphere is dormant–peep the latest from the fine folks at Replacement Level Yankees Weblog, Pinstriped Bible, Was Watching, The Captain’s Blog, River Ave Blues, It’s About the Money, Stupid, Yankeeist, Zell’s Pinstriped Blog,No Maas, and of course the Lo-Hud Yankees Blog.
In the meantime, dig this real rap session on the craft of hitting featuring Don Mattingly, Wade Boggs and Ted Williams. Peter Gammons is the writer, SI is the mag–back from April, 1986.

[3] Oh, let's not go there. I'd prefer an Ivan Nova or Sergio Mitre experience to American Idle. Just on principle.
Blanket of snow on the field. time to settle in for a long winter's nap.
Merry Christmas all! When's pitchers and catchers?
[4] Tell me why not Brandon Webb... is he asking for too much? Too far to go with his injury? Out of that pool, it seems like he has the highest upside...
[5] 8 more weeks till pitchers and catchers!
