Yankees-Red Sox: The Empire Strikes Back in Game Two »
An 0-162 record? As if. The Yankees rebounded quickly with a win in game No. 2 of the season, defeating the Red Sox 6-4. After the Yanks went down quietly 1-2-3 in the top of the first, the Red Sox and Jacoby Ellsbury immediately jumped on AJ Burnett in his season debut. Ellsbury led off with a single, and proceeded to steal second, and a Jorge [...]
Boston Red Sox Error Crucial to New York Yankees First »
A critical error by Boston shortstop Marco Scutaro helped to break a 4-4 tie as New York earned a 6-4 win over Boston Tuesday night at Fenway Park. Alfredo Aceves (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings to earn the win. Mariano Rivera allowed a double in the ninth, but earned his first save of the season.

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. [...]
Joba Chamberlain’s Inconsistency Not Tied to »
Joba Chamberlain didn’t have a particularly good night Sunday night. He allowed two hits, a walk, and a run in 1.1 innings. He certainly didn’t implode, but he was far from dominant. His fastball, as far as I could tell, never really got above 93 (assuming the YES gun was somewhat accurate), and control of his breaking pitches seemed [...]
2010 Charleston RiverDogs Roster »
Last week we got a look at both the Scranton Yankees and the Trenton Thunder roster, well moving on down the line we get the 2010 Charleston RiverDogs roster today. It’s not technically official yet, but Robert Pimpsner of Baseball Digest passed along this roster out of the RiverDogs media guide: PITCHERS RHP Griffin Bailey RHP Manuel [...]
Hughes Sharp In Extended Spring »
Yankees fifth starter did not make the trip to Boston for Opening Day. Instead, Hughes stayed behind to get some additional work before his first start of the season on April 15th in New York against the often tough-to-beat Angels. In an extended spring simulated start, Hughes pitched the equivalent of 8 1/3 innings and allowed three hits. He also [...]

New York Yankees: 20 Thoughts on Opening Night »
If I were a maniacal WFAN caller, I'd probably be floating in the East River by now. Luckily, I'm not Vinny from Bay Ridge, so the Yankees coughing up roughly 12,000 leads in their 9-7 loss to the Red Sox on opening night won't drive me to despair. In honor of Jonathan Papelbon's SAT score, here are 20 observations on what was a lonnnnnng night at [...]
Yankees, Game 1 Recap: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly »
The Yankees began the season last night in Boston against the Red Sox. The site at Fenway was enough to make any Yankees fan sick and no I am not talking about the game itself. The festivities were enough. From our little boy Pedro Martinez throwing out the first pitch, to trader Ronan Tynan singing God Bless America, to Neil Diamond singing Sweet [...]
New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox: Yanks Bullpen »
I barely made the start of the game. That should've been an omen right there. Even though it was Easter, the local Chinese place was open, and I stopped by with my roommate to snag some Crab Rangoon, Chicken Fingers and other completely unhealthy and unnecessary snacks. I had no idea how we could be the only people in the entire place, yet [...]
