Hello Yankee fans.  My Name is Harvey Pulawski.  I am an avid listener of the Off the Wall Podcast with Chris Shearn and Joe Auriemma and I had to share my thoughts with you.  I brought my son over to help me with this on-line stuff because I was around when morse code was how you "texted" someone.  I reached out to Chris after I heard his recent podcast with Joe and they mentioned that a Cubs fan born in 1909, and still alive, has never tasted sweet success with their be ...

How many times have you heard this or said it yourself? I wish I was around to see Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, or Mickey Mantle play. What we would give to be able to get in Doc Brown's DeLorean and head back in time to see one of Ruth's mammoth blasts, Gehrig's sweet swing, DiMaggio's effortless fielding and 56-game hitting streak, or the sheer power of Mickey Mantle from both sides of the plate? These guys were legendary. The only connection I have to past legends is my father. He ... READ MORE>

As I sit here in the condo on vacation, I stay up to date on everything Yankees through the on-line. Thank you Al Gore for your wondrous invention of the information superhighway. So what's happened while I've been away so far? Hmmm. Anything big? Oh yeah, there's that Andy Pettitte injury. And Phil Hughes had a bad outing against the Angels. That's the All-Star Phil Hughes. That's the Phil Hughes that had 11 wins before the break. It's the Phil Hughes now that he's had one bad start in the ... READ MORE>

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? In this case, the answer would be a resounding yes. In the vast landscape of baseball, Mr. Steinbrenner was the ultimate redwood tree. His rings, however, had nothing to do with telling people how old he was, they told a much different story. His rings told people of how successful he was as an owner in the game of baseball. January 3, 1973 is the day Mr. Steinbrenner took over a Yankees team that couldn't ... READ MORE>

It's kind of like Christmas in July. We'll call it Lebronmas. Which makes tonight Lebronmas Eve. All the hype and "hoop"la has inspired yours truly to pen a poem. I hope this gets you further into the Free Agency holiday spirit.Twas the night before Lebron's choice and all through the land,All the fans will be stirring, wondering of the King's ransom demand.All the Jerseys will be hung by the chimney with care,With hopes that Lebron will pick theirs to wear.Fans of teams with a chance will b ...

It's the most watched soap opera since the inception of the television. No I'm not talking about Days of our Lives, General Hospital, or As the World Turns. I'm talking about season after season of Yankee baseball. I'm not referring to the players or the organization. I am referring to the over dramatic, must-win every game, maniacal Yankees fan. Who do we have to thank for this? Mr. Jack Dorsey. Who is Jack Dorsey? The creator and chairman of Twitter. Thank you Mr. Dorsey, without you this ... READ MORE>

I am a child of the 1980s and sometimes I can't help using the cheese I grew up watching to relate to the Yankees and their season. I'm going to break this down so you know my "Off the Wall" (see what I did there) thought process. When I think of the Yankees, I think of Superheroes. When healthy they are like the Super Friends. Think about it for a second. Would you be surprised if there were capes under the jerseys of Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posa ... READ MORE>

It must be nice when one of the only problems you have in your life is another Hollywood starlet dating your ex-boyfriend. According to various sources, Kate Hudson has her collective undergarments in a bunch because Cameron Diaz is seeing Alex Rodriguez after Hudson and Rodriguez split. Hudson thinks Diaz is paying her back for her fling with Justin Timberlake after Diaz and Timberlake ended their relationship. It's horrible isn't it? How are either of them going to go on living? Then the ... READ MORE>

I'm not a Hallmark guy. I really don't like some greeting card writer trying to convey what I am feeling to the people I love. I'm also not a big fan of waiting for someone to leave this earth before I let them (and every one who reads my blog) know exactly how I feel about them. This past Sunday was Mother's Day as we all know. It was the first Mother's Day my best friend Mike experienced without his dear, departed mother. Joanie we will continue to miss you until our final days her ... READ MORE>

Why do you think it's cool to jump over a fence and run onto a field? Especially in these times, when security is at its peak. What do you get out of it? Fifteen-to-30 seconds of the sheep in the stands cheering for you to evade police and stadium security? A story to tell your friends the next day, or your grandkids years from now? "Did I ever tell you about the time your grandfather was the biggest **** in Citizen's Bank Park?" I'm not picking on you, Philadelphia. It just happens to be wh ... READ MORE>

FAVRE NEEDS ANKLE SURGERY TO RETURN: Famed orthopedist Dr. James Andrews consulted with the former Vikings QB, or is he? Ah, let's face it: this guy flip-flops more than a kid at the beach. Who can keep up? Anyway, the humpty dumpty doctor of professional athletes says the gun-slinging, three-time league MVP will need ankle surgery in order to play again. Like sands through the hour glass, so are the days of our lives. Looks like ESPN's Rachel Nichols will be looking at real ... READ MORE>

Six series - just one series loss. Not a bad way to start a title defense season, when so many Chicken Littles were exclaiming, "The Sky is falling!" before the Yankees even took the field for the 2010 season. It's unbelievable how the modern day Yankees fan finds anything and everything to complain about. Is there something wrong with expecting excellence on a day-to-day - or night-to-night basis? Absolutely not. Is there something wrong with wondering why Javier Vazquez is off to a slow s ... READ MORE>
