The Yankees are on the verge of their 2010 season ending.
After winning Game One, the Yankees dropped Games Two, Three and Four and fell behind the Texas Rangers 3-1 in the American League Championship Series.
The Yankees also lost Mark Teixeira for the remainder of the 2010 postseason with a strained hamstring, which is a crucial loss to the Yankees offense and defense.
So on Wednesday afternoon, the season rested on the shoulders of ace CC Sabathia, who coming into Game Five had not been pitching like an ace the Yankees needed.

As the saying goes, if you can’t hit the baseball get the hell off the field was the theme coming into Game 5 tonight in the Bronx. Instead, it was the New York Yankees who got the job done beating the Texas Rangers 7-2, in a must-win to stay-in the series game. The Rangers are still ahead of Yankees 3-2 in games. If this Wednesday afternoon game is an indication of what’s to come in the next game, Texas should be running home nervous. The Yankees flat out put the ...
When the Yankees signed Mark Teixeira couple of years ago in the offseason, they thought they were going to get a guy who could be Mr. October. They thought they would have a leader. But they've gotten nothing so far out of their petulant star. His injury served as a symbol of what has gone wrong for him in October. The only good thing Teixeira has done is provide protection for Alex Rodriguez and play good defense. That’s all well and good, but for the money he is being paid, ...

I remember back in the day I was sitting in the dugout during one of my summer league games and after we scored a run on only one hit in an inning because the opposing pitcher walked three guys, my coach turned to me in while I was standing in the on-deck circle and said to me “Oh those bases on balls. They’ll bite you in the ass every time.”
No matter what level of baseball you are in or even watch, that premise holds true no matter what. If a ...
It’s almost trite to ask what people initially think about when they ponder the New York Yankees and the postseason.
Some will say a team resting on the ink of a paycheck, while others will say an indelible mark on baseball’s identity.
But when you clear the air on a seemingly endless argument, you’re left with the only topic that is forward focus: The 2010 ALCS.
This matchup was almost written in the realm of possibilities a long time ago. Many fans began to realize the Rangers were not only running away with ...

Obviously, there's plenty of very unhappy fans out there—that becomes frustrated with what's going on in the game. Fans have no right to attack player but players are also in the wrong when they start fighting fans. In Rypien's case ...
Last night was a night New York Yankee manager Joe Girardi would like to forget.
Every single move Girardi made and didn’t make last night backfired. It was a rough night for Girardi and the rest of the Yankees as the Texas Rangers pounded the Bronx Bombers 10-3 to take a commanding 3-1 series lead in their best-of-seven ALCS.
This game and potentially the series turned in the bottom of the fifth and then in the top of the sixth.
The Yankees had a 3-2 lead going into the bottom of the fifth ...
Where to begin?
Last night at Yankee Stadium, Bengie Molina and Josh Hamilton propelled the Texas Rangers to a 10-3 drubbing of the New York Yankees to take a three games to one lead in the ALCS.
With New York now on the brink of elimination, Game 4 could mark the final nail in the coffin for the Yankees.
There is so much to break down from this game. So many things that could've gone the Yankees' way didn't, and there were so many missed opportunities and questionable decisions.
To make it easier, let's ...
