Yankees Offensive Rankings »
People have been bemoaning the Yankees offense for the past couple of days and even weeks. It’s true that their offense has been inconsistent of late, but with two of their biggest pieces Jorge Posada and Alex Rodriguez missing time, this his to be expected. Overall though, their numbers look pretty good. Tm BatAge R/G R 2B 3B HR RBI SB [...]
New York Yankees Derek Jeter In Sunday’s Lineup, »
I just wanted to give everyone an update from our earlier notes. Derek Jeter came into the locker room today and told reporters that his heel, that kept him out of yesterday’s game, feels “great.” Manager Joe Girardi has him in today’s lineup.

According to Frank DiGiacomo of the NY Daily News , New York Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay is dating News 12 Long Island anchor Jodi Applegate, who also happens to be very hot. Way too hot for Kay.

Video of Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez from 1998 »
I came across this earlier in the day and thought it was worth sharing. It’s Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez back in 1998 when A-Rod was still with Seattle and the two were still close friends. Funny thing about this video, the two are talking about being shortstops, and Jeter said he’s the Yankees shortstop and there can only be one. [...]
