The New York Baseball All-Decade Team: Pitching Staff »
This decade was great for the Yankees—winning two World Series—but not great for the Mets, only making the playoffs a couple of times. In fact, in the first World Series of the decade, the two New York teams faced each other in the Subway Series.

The New York Yankees Raid Kansas City »
Michael Davis grew up in Kansas City after World War II. He rooted for the Yankees because the Kansas City Blues were the Yankees' top farm team, but all that changed when Arnold Johnson bought the Philadelphia Athletics and moved them to Kansas City. Kansas City Becomes a Major League City In 1955, I finally lived in a major league town. [...]

Should the New York Yankees Consider Xavier Nady for »
Hope everyone has a great Christmas and a wonderful holiday weekend. But now, it's time to get back to the baseball hot stove of the winter. We all know the Yankees are searching for a left fielder for 2010. We also know the Yankees are almost at their budget number for payroll, which is somewhere around $200 million, so they aren't looking to [...]
Acquisitions Signal Paradigm Shift for Cashman, New »
It wasn't too long ago that the New York Yankees front office was the laughingstock of baseball. With such close proximity to New York's 27th world championship, it's easy to forget that the franchise once traded borderline Hall-of-Famer Fred McGriff for Dale Murray and Tom Dodd, who logged one win and zero at-bats for the Yankees, [...]
The 1962 Giants Were Better, but the Yankees Had »
Jackie Howard was a Giants' fan who grew up in Flushing. He was 10 years old when the Giants won the pennant in 1951, but the Yankees beat them in the World Series. That's when Jackie Howard started his hate affair with the Yankees, which grew more intense during the 1962 World Series. I Couldn't Watch the Giants After my team moved, I had to [...]

What the New York Yankees have done with the recent Javier Vazquez signing is strengthen their bullpen to the point that it resembles the one they had during their run in the late 1990’s. Effectively the Yankees have five front line starters that can hang with any in the American League East. From CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, Andy Pettitte, [...]

The Yankees traded OF Melky Cabrera, LHP Michael Dunn and Low-Low A (although highly rated) pitcher Arodys Vizcaino to get the former Yankee right handed pitcher. I am always a little wary when too many people love things at the same time. When too many [...]
