Andy Pettitte, Robinson Cano Lead New York Yankees »
Andy Pettitte limited Los Angeles to one run over eight innings, and Robinson Cano posted his 16th career four-hit game as New York earned a 7-1 win Saturday afternoon at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. Pettitte has not allowed more than two runs in any of his four starts this season. Pettitte (3-0) lowered his ERA to 1.29 after only allowing one run [...]
David Wells Rips A-Rod Over Dallas Braden Incident »
I’m going to keep this short because I’m with Alex Rodriguez ; this is really just a funny incident and it’s really not a big deal. A-Rod is a huge superstar who was probably just trying to get in the head of a young pitcher who was beating the Yankees that day. He very clearly got into his head, but unfortunately it was [...]
Mark Teixeira’s Collision: The Two Sides to the »
The Yankees lost in heartbreaking fashion last night as Joba Chamberlain gave up an eighth inning two-run home run that put the Angels ahead for good 6-4. It was, like all games against the Angels, very tough and hard fought. As far as some of the Angels are concerned it was a little too hard fought. I’m talking about a third inning [...]
Park’s Hamstring Slow to Recover »
When Chan Ho Park landed on the disabled list with a sprained hamstring the Yankees hoped it would be a short stint for the reliever who has quickly become a valuable member of the bullpen, but according to Chad Jennings of the Journal News , his recovery is going to be a little longer than expected. “He says it’s still somewhat [...]
New York Yankees: Why Does Joe Girardi Hate David »
It was during last night's game at the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim that I realized Joe Girardi does indeed hate New York Yankees relief pitcher David Robertson . Why do I think that? Because after another game which has Robertson finishing off a tough inning by retiring batters with ease, Girardi pulls him in favor of a new reliever to begin the [...]
Anything To Be Gained From The Dallas Braden/A-Rod »
Apparently, the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez and the Athletics' Dallas Braden got into some sort of argument yesterday when Rodriguez cut across the pitcher's mound to get back to first base when Robinson Cano hit a foul ball... You know what? I can't even finish describing the situation, it's so boring. Look, I understand that A-Rod sort of finds [...]
Yankees-Angels Series Preview: Can New York Win Its »
The Yankees have won their first five series, including last week's triumph over the Angels, but now the Bombers head out to Anaheim for a rematch in a stadium where New York has not had a great deal of success over the past 15 years. Then again, this doesn't appear to be the same Halos team the Yanks have battled during the past [...]
Video: The A-Rod/Braden Incident »
Sliding Into Home deserves the credit for this one. Here is a video of the incident that took place between Alex Rodriguez and Dallas Braden that ended in Braden erupting at A-Rod because he walked across the back of the mound on his way back to first base on a foul ball. Another funny thing about this incident is Mike Axisa’s [...]
MLB Series Preview: New York Yankees at Los Angeles »
Look for New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira to break out his slump (I won't ever stop saying that until he does). If the last series (won by the Yankees, 2-1, April 13-15) with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim is any indication of how the Yankees' latest three-game series this weekend with the Halos will go, then Yankee fans have little [...]
New York Yankees Video: Don’t Miss »
Yesterday was indeed a weird day for the Yankees. First there was Alex Rodriguez ’s run-in with Oakland pitcher Dallas Braden after he stepped on the mound returning to first after a foul ball, then there was a triple play, and all of this happened in just barely over two hours. Yes, a Yankee game lasted only two hours and seven minutes. Oh, [...]
