New York Yankees: Rookie Ivan Nova To Debut On Mound Vs. Blue Jays

  What a rare opportunity for rookie pitcher Ivan Nova to make his mark in New York Yankees pinstripes, by making his Major League debut tonight vs. the heavy-hitting Toronto Blue Jays.   Getting called up from Scranton-Wilkes-Barre is every rookie’s goal, but to start against another AL East ball-club, in middle of a tight pennant race is a lot of pressure. Can Ivan Nova do his job?   The Yankees obviously have a lot of trust in Nova’s abilities. He has been an ace in Triple-A with a 12-3 record and 2.66 ERA.   Look for ...

Johnny Damon Placed on Waivers: Would New York Yankees Claim Him?

Johnny Damon was placed on waivers on Thursday, according to MLBTradeRumors. Today would be the last day that a team could claim him, which presents an interesting situation. Would the Yankees think of bringing back their former World Series hero? Even with the fiasco between the Yankees and Damon this past offseason, this move would make tremendous sense for the Yankees. Damon has been quoted as saying that he would like to remain with the Tigers, but given the opportunity to go to a winning team and back to a city where he was ...

New York Yankees: Kearns, Wood Trades Working, but Berkman, Not So Much

The Yankees made three deals at the July 31 trade deadline acquiring Lance Berkman, Kerry Wood and Austin Kearns. So far Berkman hasn’t entirely worked out and has been on the DL, but Wood and Kearns have been big contributors since coming to the Bronx. Kearns was acquired primarily for his outfield defense and his ability to hit left-handed pitching. He has done both of those things extremely well, playing stellar defense and putting together an 11-game hitting streak. During that time he has two home runs, a .400 ...

New York Yankees Notes: A-Rod To DL, Ivan Nova To NY, CC Sabathia Will Stay

There were no updates yesterday because I was busy with a family member’s wedding. There is a silver lining to that, however: On my way home I stopped at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., and got plenty of great Yankees-related pictures that I will post later today. If you have never been to the Hall of Fame, I highly recommend that you go as soon as you can. Here are some notes from the weekend: Alex Rodriguez's calf has become a bigger problem than the team initially thought, so ...

New York Yankees SS Derek Jeter Is Playing Injured

For the Latest on the New York Yankees, check out Yankees 'n More Derek Jeter is injured... Period... The end. It could be that the heel he injured early in the year is still bothering him or has been re-aggravated, or it could be something entirely different. With Jeter, who never talks about injuries, we probably won't know until after the season, if then. Nevertheless, anybody who saw Jeter "running" on Sunday knows he's hurt. The man moves as if he's running in a cast while dragging an anchor. Jeter was clearly and severely ...

Roger Clemens: Liar and Cheat

Roger Clemens is a liar and a cheat.  There is no other way to say it.   Clemens has taken his Hall of Fame career and downed the deuce as he perjured himself in front of Congress.  Actually, as Clemens appeared before Congress, they of all people, would understand how to lie and cheat, after all, they are politicians, who are kissing babies one moment, and stealing their candy the next.  Clemens fits in just right, as another piece of the puzzle. Cheating has been going on in baseball forever. ...

The 100 Hottest Athletes Of All Time

Hot athletes are fascinating. With models, their talent is looking attractive and nothing else. With hot athletes, not only are they beautiful, but they can also kick your butt in whatever sport they play. That's awesome.Twenty years ago we didn't really have hot athletes. Attractive women didn't gravitate towards sports. Now it's hard to name a famous female athlete that's not good looking. That's probably a sad commentary on our culture, but I'll leave the pontificating to Rick Reilly on that matter and instead celebrate the most beautiful women ever ...

Pinstripe Prestige: Yankee Numbers Most Likely Headed For Monument Park

Everyone knows that the New York Yankees are the most storied team in the history of sports.  They boast 27 World Championships... more than any other professional sports franchise in the world. In over 100 years in the Major League, the Yankees have had quite a number of legendary ballplayers grace their playing field.  Because of this the Yankees have retired more numbers (15) than any other team in baseball, and are tied with only the Montreal Candiens for the most retired numbers in professional sports (this is not taking into account the number ...
