It's that time again folks. Put down your Pens, ignore your boss and let's get into some Balboni Brain Teaser Trivia. Good Luck.

Who finished third in home runs for the Yankees in 2002, after Jason Giambi and Alfonso Soriano?

The answers will be in the comments section later today, if someone puts it there or we will post it.

The big question we have been wondering is...Will Mattingly ever manage a major league team?

If he does, it would probably be beneficial to learn a rule or two.

After Torre and bench coach Bob Shaefer got tossed for arguing that Bigelow Green Tea is better than Lipton, ole Donny Baseball was summoned as the interim manager.

Mattingly was quoted by an unreliable source as saying that sitting on the bench gets pretty boring and he wanted to spice things up by going out to the mound. After jetting out to the mound excited with a grin ear to ear, Mattingly started talking to All Star closer Jonathon Broxton.

"This is kind of cool being here out on the mound" Mattingly said. "Did you ever see a pretty girl in the crowd?..tee hee hee"

Broxton shook his head with extreme confusion. Next, Mattingly turned around, put one foot in, took that foot out, put his mustache in and shook it all about. Fans described his actions as doing the Hokie Pokie.

It turns out while dancing like a fool, Mattingly was actually breaking Rule:806 which is no dancing on the mound.

At this point Mattingly was forced to take the pitcher out of the game and replace him with a struggling George Sherril (Which is a girls name).

Long story short, Mattingly ended up blowing the game and making a fool out of himself.

Mattingly was later quoted as saying he knew the rule, but decided to push the envelope a bit.

And not at Bed Bath & Beyond

Former Brewers stud Ben Sheets, whose been on the surgical gurney so often Derek McDreamy is sick of him, has been languishing with the Oakland A’s all season, and has drawn the interest of several teams in need of pitching help for the playoff run.

Sheets had his best years as the ace of a bad Brewers team. In 2004 he went 12-14 with a 2.70 era and 264 k’s.

So how is it possible, after a laundry list of injuries and numerous arm surgeries, including one that knocked him out of the 2008 season completely, can he still pitch at all?

Rumors are flying though the most common struck us as the most obvious: His right arm has been replaced with a robotic cyborg claw.

One scout, who refused to be identified, spoke on the issue. “Heck I clocked one of his fastballs at 173mph. That was our first clue. I mean, he always had great stuff, but that’s a might suspicious.”

He’s also rarely spotted without a long sleeved shirt. We bribed an A’s ball boy with a bag of candy and a shiny new bike and learned that he showers with a poncho on (Sheets, not the ball boy)

The doctor who performed the surgery slammed the door in our face. Sheet’s wife won’t return our calls.

So what’s the deal? Andy Pettitte injured his groin doing God knows what and was placed on the DL. The Yanks, like every other team with World Series aspirations, could be in need of some pitching depth.

Sheets, 32, is 4-9 for the A’s this season and a 4.53 era. His career totals are 92-90. A friend said Achieving his 100th win as a Yankee would be special. However, he also said getting his 100th loss as a Yank would stink.

Tuesday
LAA: TBA

Foolish Sports is reporting that the Yankees could be in talks with a trade involving Joba Chamberlain, a box of frozen fish sticks and a pile of lint.

After Joba’s recent slide into stinksville, Foolish Sports reported something that we professionals call “chatter” in the baseball world. The Yankees are said to be in contact with the Seattle Mariners and their representative Captain Gordon Halibut, in a trade that would send Joba Chamberlain to Seattle and in return, the Yankees would receive a box of Gordon’s Fish Sticks and a pile of lint. (Believed to be from the Mariners laundry room)

Both Halibut and the Yankees were mum on the situation, but we caught up with Terrance Stubs who held a job with the Mariners from July 19th 2010 –July 19th 2010.

Bronx Goblin: Terrance, we understand that you were ripping the ticket stubs as people would enter the stadium?

Terrance: That is correct.

Bronx Goblin: While ripping stubs, did you ever hear any rumors that Seattle would be parting with their fish sticks or lint?

Terrance: No I did not. I heard a lot of people asking if they could bring their camera’s or food into the stadium. Just for the record, I didn’t see the guy who brought in firecrackers.

Bronx Goblin: Interesting. Did anyone ever mention lint in passing?

Terrance: Now that you mention it.. No… no they did not. I would also like to state that the family of four who brought in a goat, did not go through my ticket line.

Bronx Goblin: Extraordinary. And nothing about fish sticks?

Terrance: Yes, oh wait… No… I got confused there for a second. I was thinking about that lint question you asked. The answer is no. Contrary to what you may read in the paper, the gentleman that was arrested in the stadium driving a tank, did not have a tank when I ripped his stub. Nope, no tank whatsoever when he passed me.

Bronx Goblin: Fascinating. Terrence… Thank you for your time as this fuels the trade rumors even more.

If this trade goes through, it would be a steal for the Yankees. Our baseball analysts wonder if the Mariners are giving too much up in this trade.

Stay here for all the latest news.

There is no doubt about it, Burnett is having a troublesome year. The folks here at Bronx Goblin have been working night and day to try and find out what the cause is for his poor performance.

We were right on the money when we falsely reported his love for Justin Bieber's music a couple weeks ago as a possible cause and we are now very close to breaking another story wide open. We have reason to believe that AJ may have really injured his hand on a recent visit to the nail salon.

Big time Bronx Goblin Exec. Loney Bummer picked up this story yesterday after Burnett's early exit.

"We have reason to believe that AJ probably went to a nail salon after his terrible start yesterday." He said of AJ who pitched 2 innings and allowed 4 Runs.

When we asked him why he thought this was the case, Loney responded with "Do you have a better idea of where he would have gone?.. Yeah, I didn't think so."

With this maybe being the case, we decided to send out our whole workforce to find out what the deal was. We currently have suggested that officials look into arresting a nail file that was acting a bit suspicious in Midtown yesterday night.

Keep checking back here for all of the details.

Mel Gibson is looking more and more like a complete wacko everyday.

We believe the reason for Mel's ridiculous behavior is quite simple. Yes that's right, we think he is a Red Sox fan!

This picture was taken by our two time employee of the week Carl Pigeonson. Carl started his career in Central Park where he would peck around looking for bread. Things really started to fall into place for Carl, when he gave the performance of his career, which landed him a job with Bronx Goblin. What people don't realize is that Carl was very vocal in bringing down the Times Square bomber. Everyone gives credit to the street vendors, but it was actually Carl who was pecking around the vehicle that prompted cops to take notice.

Carl has taken his reporting career with Bronx Goblin very seriously. On July 18th, he was just minding his business, doing some business on a car windshield and then getting down to business with his little pigeon binoculars.

"I was following Lindsay Lohan around town and saw the star of What Women Want walking around wearing a Red Sox hat." said Carl. "I would say I am about 4% sure it was him. After all, I am a pigeon and let's just say, we have been known to make mistakes here and there. I don't think we command that much respect because, we eat garbage and aren't good at getting out of the way of people walking down the sidewalk. I would like to go to restaurants, but I just don't think people would let us in." He said.

We believe that Carl is correct,... possibly. If he is correct, this would make a lot of sense. We have seen a lot of wacko's that are Red Sox fans.

It's a simple equation. Red Sox fans are Wacko's, Mel Gibson is a Red Sox fan, so... it's not hard to figure out this equation.

The day began with a solemn pregame ceremony honoring George Steinbrenner and Bob Sheppard and ended with Swisher, not only hitting a homer to tie the game, but also getting the walk off single to get the win.

It was a night where Michael Kay said the fans didn't know what to do. We saw one guy pouring a beer on his head and shoving a pulled pork sandwich into his ear. I am pretty sure he didn't know what do.

The hero of the night was Swisher who went 3-5 with 3 RBI's.

"I think pretty much the agenda today was 'Win,' " Swisher said. "That's what Mr. Steinbrenner wanted us to do. That's what, from all the things I've talked to [Jeter], Posada and those guys, that's all he ever wanted to do. On a day like this when we celebrate his life, gotta take him out on a 'W.' "

"It was because of him that I got brought over here, and I thank my lucky stars every day," Swisher said. "This is baseball heaven."

Girardi also commented on the night.

"I thought the tribute was beautiful," said Girardi, who got choked up. "The roses at home plate. . . . The tribute to these two great men . . . and just a wonderful night and a night that's a very sad night. I think The Boss would have been proud and I think Bob Sheppard would have loved being the PA [announcer] for this game."

Next stop, old timers day.

Have NY fans forgotten about the dominant Joba from year’s past? He is still throwing 125 MPH so what’s the problem? Is he just a head case?

Our brain expert (Who is actually in high school and one day would like to major in psychiatry, but most likely will graduate four yr's behind schedule at the Jersey Shore High School) Jimmy Dorossi III weighed in.

“First off, what do think of my jewelry? I always wear gold chains to the ball game. What do you twos think? Nice eh…eh? If you ask me I think they can replace Joba with a plate of my momma’s chicken parmesana. What are you lookin at? Are you jealous of my tan?”

Our interview got cut a little short do to Jimmy’s threatening demeanor and constant flexing.

Here is what Joba had to say.

"People are going to look at the five bad ones, but I'm going to look at the 25 good ones," said Chamberlain, who stunk up the first half posting a 5.89 ERA. "Your goal when guys are in scoring position is to get a ground ball and minimize the damage. It just comes down to execution. There's no other way around it."

Joba continued to try and dig himself out of this tough situation.

“You can't say I'm not throwing hard any more, so now that that's out the window, we have to think of something else," Chamberlain said. "You look at the times when I've been good and when I've been bad and it's just command."

Joba claims you can’t say he’s not throwing hard anymore. Well we here at Bronx Goblin decided to give it a try. Eh em.. “Joba you are not throwing hard anymore” WE DID IT !!! We were able to say it.. and Joba said we couldn't!

Let’s hope that we see the old Joba soon.
