World Series Preview: What the New York Yankees Must »

Well...that was fast. My night of celebration ended about 15 minutes after I posted the last piece . Immediately, my mind started to shift to the new question at hand. How do the Yankees beat the Phillies this week? Here's the game plan, in three(-ish) parts:   1. Use the Long Lineup to Tire Out Cliff Lee and the Philly Starters Early. Then, Go [...]

The-e-e-e-e Yankees Win! »

Well, the Yankees made it official Sunday night. They are going to the World Series for the first time since 2003, when they lost the championship to Josh Beckett and the Florida Marlins. I was at the game. I was able to see my beloved Yankees finally overcome their demons and beat the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the playoffs for the first [...]

At Last, Yankees Validates Traditional Earnings »

They haven’t won 26 titles in 40 appearances for nothing, or haven’t spent an outrageous $423.5 million for the series MVP C.C. Sabathia, Mark Teixeira and A.J. Burnett. Even the house Derek Jeter built was invested, confident of reliving glorious celebrations and pennant runs. Last year alone the dauntless co-chairmen Hank and Hal [...]

Yankees Earn Their Way Back to Baseball’s »

I liken my feeling prior to first pitch of Game Six last night to how Lindsay Lohan must feel on the eve of a mandatory probation hearing. Unjustly annoyed. Kind of dazed. Quite nervous. Thinking about what can be ingested to take the edge off things. I was annoyed because I knew the series should already be over. I was dazed because all those [...]

Backed by Rivera and Pettitte, Yankees Win Pennant »

Behind by two in the eighth inning with the speedy Chone Figgins on second base, Anaheim Angels’ slugger and future Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero took what may have been his final swing as a member of the franchise, slicing a cut fastball from New York Yankees famed closer Mariano Rivera into right field. Figgins sped around third and scored. [...]

Yankees Beat Bumbling Angels 5-2, Advance to World »

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim found out with the Minnesota Twins already knew. If you continue to make boneheaded baserunning plays, and continue to play horrific defense, you are going to lose in the playoffs. The New York Yankees beat the stumbling, bumbling Angels last night 5-2 to take their best-of-seven series 4-2 and advance to the [...]

World Series 2009 Prediction from WhatIfSports.com »

Our computer is on a roll.  It correctly picked North Carolina basketball to win it all in the 2009 NCAA tournament , the 2009 Stanley Cup champion, the Lakers over the Magic in the 2009 NBA Finals , and the Pittsburgh Steelers to win Super Bowl XLIII , (by four points).  Now, we at WhatIfSports.com focus on baseball. Just as we did with those [...]

The Script Resurfaces: New York Yankees Head to the »

"...hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."- Andy Dufresne (The Shawshank Redemption) I'd be lying if I told you I expected this. Throwing a lot of money at problems was nothing new for the New York Yankees of this decade and it never fixed anything before. Granted the Yankees of 2003 made it to the Fall [...]
