Game 19: Seriously? Yanks’ Lose to MLB-Worst »
Thought this first series against the Baltimore Orioles would be a breeze? Perhaps not. The Yankees fell short to the O’s 5-4, behind staff ace Kevin Millwood and to the dismay of a shaky Yankee bullpen. The first inning and a half went quickly. Luke Scott led off the O’s second with a single to left, followed by a Ty Wiggington [...]
Following Some Former Yankees with Their New Teams »
A number of major pieces from the New York Yankees' World Series championship team are gone to other franchises. I thought it would be interesting to see how they are doing with about 20 games gone in the new season. Johnny Damon left as a free agent. He was offered a two-year deal with the Yanks at a reported $14 million and he turned it down [...]
The New York Yankees’ Future Infield »
The Yankees consist of great talent, including Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano, and Mark Teixeira. And don't forget about the man behind the plate: Jorge Posada. But what about the future of this infield? What will happen when Jeter is too old to play everyday? And what about when A-Rod, Teixeira, and Posada are no longer [...]
Yankees’ Core Four Gets Sports »
The “Core Four” of the Yankees, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, and Andy Pettitte (as if I needed to tell you) got on the cover of Sports Illustrated and let me be the first to say, that is a sweet ass cover. That being said, I don’t have much else to say about the cover. Sure it’s cool, but after about 30 [...]
New York Yankee Fans: Do You Remember the Name Austin »
New York Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman hit the headlines with a "blockbuster" trade in the offseason that brought Curtis Granderson to the Bronx. The Yankees gave up one-time first round draft pick, starting pitcher, Ian Kennedy; left handed reliever, Phil Coke; and top prospect outfielder, Austin Jackson, to the Detroit Tigers. Coke is [...]
Curt Schilling Blasts Javier Vazquez on ESPN Radio »
Curt Schilling, former Red Sox ace, current ESPNBoston analyst went on ESPN Radio’s “The Herd with Colin Cowheard” and blasted Yankees starter Javier Vazquez as somebody who can’t pitch in New York or the American League. Schilling on Vazquez not being good enough for the AL: “I never ever thought the move to New York [...]
New York Yankees: Examining the Vazquez Conundrum »
I've been debating recently why it is that Javier Vazquez has been put on this Earth. If you asked Javier, he'd probably say he's here for his wife and three beautiful children. That would certainly make sense. His Wikipedia page states he's a huge wine aficionado, so maybe he's just here for the fermented grapes. Then again, he may go the [...]
What’s Wrong with Javier Vazquez? »
There are probably fewer things more frustrating to a sports fan than watching an expensive, recently imported veteran player repeatedly fail in his efforts to help the team. The more prior success he's had, the more money he's making, the more you had to give up to get him...well, that all just makes it worse. And then there's Javy Vazquez. [...]
Should the New York Yankees Start Sergio Mitre With »
In the beginning of the 2010 season, a lot of things have gone right for the Yankees. Curtis Granderson is fitting well into the center field spot, as is Brett Gardner in the left field spot. Phil Hughes is doing a tremendous job as the fifth starter while for the most part, Joba Chamberlain has done a good job as the setup man. However, there has [...]
Video of the New York Yankees at the White House »
Here is a video of the Yankees meeting President Barack Obama at the White House in front of an absolutely packed house yesterday. The video starts with a speech from Obama, in which he said nothing but great things about the team. The Yankees manager Joe Girardi then presented Obama with a signed no. 27 jersey. They didn’t give him no. 44 [...]
