As you all already know, I co-host a 100% commercial-free, no one makes a dime from it, Sports Talk radio show on Long Island.

The other night, Newsday's Yankees beat reporter Jim Baumbach joined us only hours after he almost got arrested covering ARod's book signing. To Jim's credit, he did not even bring this up.

The interview is 19+ commercial-free minutes of nothing but Yankees talk. Jim--and other Yankees beat writers--will join us throughout Spring Training (and during the season), so I'll be sure to post the interviews when they happen.

The interview can be found at

Here's a non-exhaustive list of topics discussed:
--ARod (opt-out clause, book signing, his psyche, etc.)
--Bernie Williams (at the time, he was leaning towards going to Spring Training but Jim said "he could still change his mind")
--Roger Clemens
--Mike Mussina's comments about Carl Pavano
--Pavano
--Joe Torre's future
--Mattingly and Girardi as successors
--How close was the Melky Cabrera for Mike Gonzalez deal?
--Andy Pettitte
--The Rotation (Wang, Igawa, Pavano, etc.)
--The contracts of Mariano Rivera and Jorge Posada
--Phil Hughes
--Robinson Cano's uniform #
--Jim's Blog

As always, thanks.
