Yankees Need to Switch Nick Swisher, Brett Gardner in »
So who's to blame for the Yankees' latest Fenway Park implosion? Could it be the staff ace, CC Sabathia, for relaxing after his team gave him a four-run lead? Should we point the finger at Chan Ho Park for giving up a puny 311-foot homer to little Dusty Pedroia? Or maybe the good ol' Green Monster itself is at fault for robbing Alex Rodriguez of a [...]
Is CC Sabathia Signed To the New York Yankees for Too »
A Yankees fan has to be wondering about a certain contract today with regard to their ace, CC Sabathia, after last night's opening against the Boston Red Sox. What's nearly as bad is that he was drubbed twice, in spring training, by the otherwise lowly Pittsburgh Pirates. Sabathia, like almost any other player, has his "streaks." He pitched a [...]
Brett Gardner Daily Update: April 5, 2010 »
Brett Gardner had a great game for the New York Yankees on Opening Night in Fenway Park. Against the Yankees' primary nemesis, Gardner was 2-for-4 at the plate with an RBI and a run scored. This was very good news for Gardner and the Yankees, as his offense has been a question mark. But last night he was aggressive at the plate and on the bases, [...]

Through five innings, CC Sabathia appeared on his way to an Opening Night victory over the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Yankees-Red Sox: NY Hitting Unable To Bail Out »
The baseball season is officially under way, but for the Yankees, the opener did not go the way they had hoped. Early on the pitchers did their thing, as the first eight batters of the game were retired. But with two outs in the top of the second that changed, as Jorge Posada hit a Josh Beckett pitch off the Pesky Pole to score the first run of [...]

Examining the New York Yankees’ Official Opening »
The Yankees open up the season tonight at Fenway. Their line-up looks just a little bit different than the one from last year. Who knows how well this line-up will play out with the absence of World Series MVP Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon. This year's line-up looks like this: 1. Derek Jeter (Shortstop) —Once again the Yankees' captain [...]
2010 MLB Prediction: Curtis Granderson To Have Better »
Both New York teams have a new starting outfielder on their squads this year. Both are upgrades over their 2009 counterparts. The Mets signed free agent Jason Bay while the Yankees pulled off an old-fashioned trade as they acquired Curtis Granderson from the Detroit Tigers in a three-team, seven-player swap. That trade also involved the Arizona [...]
