New York Yankees’ Starting Pitching Evening Out »
The Yankees got off to a good start this year despite the fact that a number of their key hitters—Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez, and Derek Jeter to name a few—were not hitting well. This was primarily because of Yankee pitching and starting pitching in particular. CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, Andy Pettitte, and Phil Hughes all got off to [...]
New York Yankees Notes: Roster Moves, Scranton and »
The Yankees are coming off a rather tough stretch where they went a disappointing 4-8. Now that the Red Sox and Rays are behind them, they will start rolling against some weaker competition. I’m not sure if that includes the Mets, who have been both up and down this year, mostly down. The two teams start the first of two Subway Series [...]
New York Yankees: Good News, Alfredo Aceves Is Feeling »
This is from CBS Sports Fantasy News : RHP Alfredo Aceves will try playing catch Wednesday, the first time he will throw since landing on the DL last week with a bulging disk in his lower back. Aceves has no timetable to throw off a mound, but manager Joe Girardi noted the reliever "has a little hop in his step and appears to be a lot better." Not [...]
MLB Denies Yankees Protest »
Yesterday, Major League Baseball denied the Yankees protest regarding their game against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. Here's a quote from Brian Cashman that pretty much sums up my opinion on the subject: "Surprise, surprise," Brian Cashman said. "I don’t remember any protests outside of the George Brett one ever working. It [...]
New York Yankees Fighting Through Rough Patch »
Beginning misguided rant in three...two...one... The New York Yankees and My9 are a match made in hell. I wish I had the statistics to back this up—and let's face it, a rudimentary once-over of the schedule would probably settle this—but to me, the Yankees always seem to play poorly when their games are broadcast on the redheaded [...]

MLB 2010: Five Reasons Derek Jeter Won’t Break »
Derek Jeter is a first ballot Hall Of Famer. There is no evidence that Jeter is even interested in the hit record. However, if he averages 188 hits per season for the next nine seasons (including this one), he can pull it off. Jeter is ahead of Rose's pace now. It would be fun to watch someone challenge a great record like this. It also would [...]
Jorge Posada To DL: Where’s Jesus (Montero) When »
Well, he's still at AAA Scranton/Wilkes Barre, to be exact. Right now, the Yankees might want to call AAA to fix their flat team. The Bombers got bombed by the Rays last night, 10-6 (trailing 10-2 at one point,) and are now just 4-6 in their last 10, dropping to four games out of first. To make matters worse, Jorge Posada is out three to [...]
Is Tonight’s Game a “Must Win” for »
A quarter of the way into the 2010 season, the Yankees are on pace for a 101 win season. They lead the majors in runs scored. Their offense is still the feared Bronx Bombers. So why does it feel like tonight's game against the Tampa Bay Rays is a "must win?" Baseball fans would say it's only May. Yankees fans would say check [...]
