New York Yankees vs. Seattle Mariners To Be Aired in »
New York Times reporter, Richard Sandomir, is reporting that the New York Yankees will air their July 10th and 11th games against the Seattle Mariners in 3-D. The YES Network has been able to make an agreement to test out the latest technology with DirecTV. Sadly not everyone will be able to watch the game in 3-D due to the fact that not [...]
Yankees-Orioles: Yankees Hold On for Sweep of Orioles »
Leading 7-3 with one out in the bottom of the ninth, New York appeared to roll to an easy win and series sweep of Baltimore. However, the Orioles brought the go-ahead run to the plate before the Yankees held on for a 7-5 win.

Jorge Posada and the New York Yankees’ Hall Of »
The New York Yankees have had two Hall of Fame catchers. Bill Dickey played during the 1930s and early 1940s. Yogi Berra replaced Dickey and played from the late 1940s until the early 1960s. How does Jorge Posada compare to Dickey and Yogi? Jorge Posada had the best season of his career in 2007. He batted a robust .338, hit 20 home [...]
Francisco Cervelli vs. Jorge Posada: Which Yankee »
With all due respect to Javier Vazquez, I’m tired of hearing about him and his lack of prosperous pitching. Give him a break—he’ll eventually get to where he needs to be. Well, at least we hope. The Yankees did have a three-pitcher rotation in the playoffs this past season, and what did we get? A world championship. They can [...]
New York Yankees: Looking Good For Postseason »
The New York Yankees have the second best record in baseball. That should be good enough to get them to the postseason. That's in spite of the fact that the Yankees are not favorites at this time to win the American League East, although they might still do so. For now, Tampa Bay has the division lead. Meaning that it's the Yankees' wild card [...]

Yankees players and staff members often make visits to the hospital and meet some of the patients. Cervelli was joined by Yankees backup infielder Ramiro Pena. Cervelli, starting in place of the injured Jorge Posada, met [...]
Jeter, Jeter, Numbers Beater: Why Derek’s 2010 »
There’s something quite odd about Derek Jeter. I don’t mean the fact that he’s seemingly ageless, or that he’s actually a somewhat-likeable guy despite being the captain of the most evil group of players ever to walk onto a baseball field. I am referring to the fact that the numbers Jeter has accrued so far this season [...]
Has Joba Chamberlain’s Image Paid The Price For »
This spring, as the Yankees decided to toss Joba Chamberlain in the bullpen (where he belongs) I kept hearing people being critical of Chamberlain for all the wrong reasons. I heard this phrase over and over again. Over-hyped punk. Overhyped… That might be true with the “Joba Rules” etc. but can we really blame the kid [...]
