The Yankees placed Alex Rodriguez on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday. The move is looked at as a precautionary one; the Yankees want to make sure that the injury does not turn into a bigger problem as we approach the playoffs.
With a win on Saturday, the Yankees improved to 11-0 when Alex Rodriguez is not in the lineup. They increased their runs per game value without him to 8.2, as opposed to 5 with him.
These statistics are creating a Web wide notion that the Yankees will be just fine ...
Today, New York Yankees' pitcher C.C. Sabathia tries to continue a regular-season, unbeaten streak at home, which is at 19 games (14-0, 2.27 ERA), and place a stamp on my dominating week in fantasy—currently up 9-1 in my head-to-head league-against visiting Seattle, which counters with Luke French.
This is the rubber match of the three-game series; Seattle won, 6-0, Friday but lost, 9-5, Saturday.
New York has the major's best record, 76-47, and leads the AL East by a full game over the Tampa Bay Rays (75-48). The Rays play at the ...
It's starting to look increasingly clear that—now some three quarters into the season—the Yankees have lost their gamble on Javier Vazquez.The team wagered this offseason that it had acquired the 2009 version of Vazquez, the ace pitcher in Atlanta who was second in the NL in strikeouts and nearly won a Cy Young award, and not the wounded puppy 2004 version of Vazquez, who staggered to the finish line for the Yankees before surrendering perhaps the most infamous home run in franchise history.It'd be easy to say the Yankees are ...
Sometimes, a team gets lucky. Sometimes, a minor league call up brings a quick glimpse of brightness and promise. Sometimes, that promise immediately helps a team by giving them the boost they need, similar to a supernova.
That’s just what the Yankees could use from starting pitcher Ivan Nova. The young right-hander has been called up from Triple-A Scranton and will start Monday’s game in Toronto.
As I mentioned in a past article, the Yankees starting rotation has some major ...
Oh the good old-days when anyone could stay off the DL with a little HGH. Alex Rodriguez hit the 15-day DL today with a strained left-calf. The timing couldn't be worse for the Yankees, as they find the Tampa Bay Rays only 1.5 games back. Not only do the Pinstripes find themselves in a jam, but so do fantasy owners with the playoffs right around the corner. This late in the season, there isn't a ton of gems on the wire, but hopefully there are enough choices to scrape by ...
The 'Dog Days of Summer' are coming to a close and not surprisingly, October is on the horizon again for the 2010 New York Yankees. With strong and reliable pitching, the emergence of Robinson Cano, Nick Swisher, and Brett Gardner, and the consistency of Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter, the Yankees have put themselves in the driver's seat in both the AL East, and the AL Championship (http://es.pn/bcuDuH).
Although they share a 5.5 game lead with the Tampa Bay Rays over the Boston Red Sox (8/19/2010), the Yankees have set ...
Most of the media, Major League Baseball, teammates, and most of the public feel that Roger Clemens is guilty of steroid use and therefore guilty of perjury before Congress.
But wait. Reginald J. Brown, a former special assistant to President George W. Bush and associate White House general counsel has found a legal argument that he believes could win.
“Congress didn’t do this investigation to determine whether they needed new drug laws,” Brown said. “They didn’t do it to determine whether federal agencies were exercising their proper oversight. They did this to ...
One thing that ESPN does well is take good athletes and promote them until they become huge superstars. Granted, if an athlete plays baseball in Seattle or basketball in Charlotte, then he or she is not going to get the same amount of press as his or her rivals in New York, Los Angeles or Chicago. Most athletes are able to run with it and make millions upon millions. That is why it is so sad to see that these athletes are just frauds-they are people who have built their ...

It is interesting to see how far we've come.At one point we crammed ourselves onto the hillsides to watch games. Standing room only was really the only option. If you missed a play, there weren't any giant Television screens to show you what happened.Bathrooms consisted of a tree and foliage.Look how far we've come.Now we have so many toilets we don't what to do with them.We've got three jumbotrons the size of the average home in every stadium and more seats than most teams can fill.All 25 of these stadiums ...
