By Cheap Tickets at 12 March, 2010, 5:08 pm
No one loves a good New York-Philly throwdown as much as we do, and with that in mind we’re putting a couple of aces under the microscope today. When it’s time to write a check for the No. 1 guy in the rotation, who’s more interesting to you, Roy Halladay (notes) or CC Sabathia (notes) ? Special word/pound rules were devised for this debate: Scott Pianowski will be limited to 230 or so

Steinbrenner smash! Yankee Stadium grandstand coming down
By Cheap Tickets at 11 March, 2010, 5:14 pm
Maybe it’s because they’ve been stripping the old place of all sellable trinkets for the last 18 months. Maybe it’s because they’ve already christened the new place with a World Series. Whatever the case, I’ve been surprised at the relative lack of tears from the nostalgia minded as old Yankee Stadium has been dismantled and demolished since hosting its last game there in September 2008. I definitely expected a lot more poems and paeans like this one — written by yours truly, a non-New Yorker who had only been there twice — last October.

Here are your Puck Previews: Spotlighting the key games in NHL action, news and views as well as general frivolity. Make sure to stop back here for the nightly Three Stars when the games are finished. Preview : Boston Bruins at Toronto Maple Leafs , 7 p.m. EST . Boston plays their first game since the Matt Cooke (notes) his on Marc Savard (notes) and they will also be without Zdeno Chara (notes) as he’s day-to-day with a “lower-body injury”. For the Leafs, Luca Caputi (notes) will find himself promoted to the top line alongside Phil Kessel (notes) (pointless in all four meetings against Boston this season) and Tyler Bozak (notes) in his first home game with Toronto. Tim Thomas (notes) will be in goal for Boston, while Jonas Gustavsson (notes) is expected to get the start for the Leafs. And might we see Colton Orr (notes) and Milan Lucic (notes) dance again?
‘Pinstripe Bowl’ moves a step closer to reality
By Cheap Tickets at 9 March, 2010, 1:13 pm
At least two of our burning (OK, lukewarm) questions regarding the proposed bowl game in the New York Yankees ‘ new stadium have been resolved: First, and most importantly, what will it be called? Why, the “Pinstripe Bowl,” of course, with a title sponsorship from New Era Cap Co. (for the first four years, at least). Not entirely sure how much this name is actually going to resonate; I’ve never known Big

Free Agency Watch: Saturday stories
By Cheap Tickets at 6 March, 2010, 11:54 am
Here are a few things to watch as free agency heads on into Saturday… The Seahawks are hosting Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall , who has a first-round tender. Unless Seattle can re-negotiate the terms, they’d have to give up their sixth overall pick for Marshall and sign the receiver to a lucrative contract. Pretty rich, no matter how good Marshall is. The evolving story of Donovan McNabb and the Eagles . Are the rumored Browns overtures true? Could Michael Vick (notes) go elsewhere instead? We’re going to find out a couple things from this story — who has the personnel pull in that franchise, and how much faith they have in Kevin Kolb (notes) . Former Packers defensive end Aaron Kampman (notes) is currently in Jacksonville , with interest from the Bucs, Eagles and Seahawks in his back pocket. As much as Julius Peppers (notes) got the big bucks, Kampman has been the more consistent quarterback disruptor over the last few seasons when you factor in hits and hurries. It’s official: The Bengals are interested in acquiring T.O . I so want this to happen. Ocho, T.O., and Matt Jones (notes) ? Are you kidding me? How great would that “Hard Knocks” series be? Jason LaCanfora reports that the Chiefs might be interested in Thomas Jones (notes) , if the Jets don’t bring him back for less money. In a stacked draft class at the position, what will happen to the new class of free agents? Patrick Willis (notes) will not be very happy if his 49ers sign David Carr (notes) . And, of course, the Redskins and Cowboys have made no major splashes in free agency. Will the Yankees and Red Sox of the NFL make it through this capless year without throwing major dollars at their personnel issues?
Spring Snapshot: Tigers aiming for first playoff run since ‘06
By Cheap Tickets at 6 March, 2010, 11:47 am
Every day in spring training until we’re finished with the entire league, Big League Stew takes a brief capsule look at each team we visit in Florida and Arizona. Next up are the Detroit Tigers , who are paying a lot of money for a team that hasn’t appeared in October since that magical 2006 season. DETROIT TIGERS ‘09 RECORD: 86-77, 2nd in AL Central BIG ACQUISITIONS: Johnny Damon (notes) is playing left field in Motown after getting the cold shoulder from Brian Cashman … Jose Valverde (notes) signed a two-year deal to be the team’s new closer … The Tigers acquired outfielder Austin Jackson (notes) and pitchers Max Scherzer (notes) and Phil Coke (notes) through the three-way trade that made big waves at the winter meetings. BIG DEPARTURES: The Tigers gave their fans at least one reason to like the Yankees when they traded Curtis Granderson (notes) to the Bronx … The team didn’t want to pay the price that closer Fernando Rodney (notes) was asking, so he took his act to Anaheim … Brandon Lyon (notes) chased middle reliever riches to Houston, while infielder Placido Polanco (notes) returned to Philadelphia. FIVE QUESTIONS TO ASK ABOUT THE TIGERS:
