Andy Pettitte, Yankees Beat Angels 7-5 in Memorable »
Tuesday afternoon's game between the Yankees and Angels was certainly more meaningful than just a regular opening game at Yankee Stadium. Last year in 2009, they opened the brand new ballpark, replacing the one that stood for 85 years. This year in 2010, the Yankees celebrated it by receiving their 2009 World Series Championship rings in a [...]
New York Yankees Beat Tampa Bay Rays 7-3 to Win Both »
The Yankees opened the 2010 season by playing their most hated rivals, the Boston Red Sox, on the road to start the year. The Yankees won two of the three games to win the first series against Boston, a major confidence booster. After Boston, the Yankees traveled to play another tough AL East division rival in the Tampa Bay Rays. The first game [...]
Javier Vazquez Shaky, Inconsistent in Yankees 9-3 »
Friday night's game against the Tampa Bay Rays was the first time since 2004 that Javier Vazquez officially took the ball for the Yankees. Most remember how bad that ended up, especially since it led to his departure from New York. Unfortunately, his first start back wasn't any better than what most hoped for. After Alex Rodriguez's RBI triple [...]
Curtis Granderson Adds to Yankees Heroics in 3-1 Win »
When the Yankees got Curtis Granderson in the winter, some people weren't totally sold on the center fielder. "He only hit .249 and he can't hit lefties and he strikes out too much," were some of the things I heard about why trading for Granderson wasn't a good move. After this past series with the Red Sox, I'm sure most of those critics will be [...]
New York Yankees Bullpen Shows Improvement in 6-4 Win »
When the series began between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, they had listed three premier pitching matchups for the fans at Fenway Park to see. So far, the first two games have come down to a battle of the bullpens instead of the starters. On opening night, the two starters for both teams didn't have great outings. Josh Beckett didn't [...]
Could Jack Cust Give the Yankees the Outfield Help »
With the 2010 season just getting under way for the Yankees, there are already rumblings that the team is trying to add on more players. On Sunday, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported that the Yankees were possibly looking to add outfield help to what they already have. Rosenthal reports this because of the Yankees' questionable depth in 2010. [...]
Will 2010 Be Andy Pettitte’s Final Hurrah With »
Over the last 15 years, Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, and Andy Pettitte have made up the "Yankees Core" of the roster, mostly because they are popular players who were home-grown products out of the Yankees system. In 2010, one of the core players may be playing in his final season. In an interview with YES Network's Jack Curry, [...]
Brett Gardner Is the Yankees Starting Left Fielder, »
On Thursday, Yankees manager Joe Girardi finally announced his starting outfield for the 2010 campaign. We already know Nick Swisher is the right fielder. But with Johnny Damon and Melky Cabrera both moving on, the Yankees outfield was guaranteed to have a new look. A younger and more athletic look. The Yankees traded for All Star Curtis [...]
Are The Yankees Really Interested In Jayson Werth For »
I've never heard so much talk of rumors and speculation about a free agent class before. The class of 2010-2011 already has had a ton of speculation surrounding it. Now Jayson Werth's name is being added in. Werth has finally caught on as an emerging star with the Phillies and will be in the final year of his contract in 2010. Werth will then join [...]
NY Yankees: Phil Hughes Wins Fifth Starter Job, Time »
This week, the race for the Yankees' fifth starter spot finally ended. In what started out as a five man race, ended up having one clear winner for the job. Phil Hughes won the fifth and final starting job for the 2010 season and will be in the rotation with CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, Andy Pettitte, and Javier Vazquez. Some of the pitchers Hughes [...]
