In late July, Commissioner Bug Selig announced that the start of next year's regular season would be begin on April 1st, 2011. No April Fool's joke here, only that Mr. Selig would like to move up the season in order to avoid ending the postseason in November in conflict with the start of the NBA and NHL season and the ongoing NFL season heading for the stretch run.
In fact, last year on November 1st, 2009, in addition to Game Four of the World Series that involved the Yankees and Phillies, ...
Last night, Alex Rodriguez shined brightly in the New York Yankees 8-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals by crushing three home runs. They were also done in three consecutive at bats. It was the fourth time in his career that he has done such, the first time since 2005 against Bartolo Colon and the Anaheim Angels.
Curtis Granderson also went deep, giving Yankee fans something to cheer about. I mean, who isn't rooting for this guy?
What do both of the performances have in common: They were the results of ...
I remember back in February 2004, when I first heard the news that Alex Rodriguez had been traded to the New York Yankees. At the time, I was a soon-to-be 14-year-old fan who had finally stopped taking for granted how difficult it was to win a World Series. After growing up watching the Yankee dynasty win four championships in five years, I had suffered through the Diamondbacks debacle of 2001 and the embarrassing loss to the Florida Marlins only months earlier.
Not to say that my naivete was completely eliminated. Most ...
With three home runs and five RBIs in Saturday night's game against the Royals, Alex Rodriguez has put himself right into the middle of the American League MVP race this year.
A-Rod smacked his first home run of the night in the sixth inning to break a 1-1 tie, giving the Yanks a 2-1 lead. It was also the first of three Yankee home runs in the inning, as Jorge Posada and Curtis Granderson would go back to back.
He hit a two-run shot the following inning to straightaway center field, bouncing off ...
New York Yankees Marcus Thames has been the talk of the town lately—and for good reason.
Thames has come up big for the Yankees as he led the team in victory over the Texas Rangers Cliff Lee, this past Wednesday night.
The switch-hitter went 3-5 with two hits, a homer, and two RBI. Thames had the game-winning single in the top of the ninth inning that put the Yankees on top.
In 2001, Thames caught the Yankees attention after being named to the Baseball America minor ...
Jose Canseco may want to think of writing a new book or do something extraordinary in order to get out of the current streak of bad luck that he has hit. When Canseco was in his prime, he would date models and drive some of the world's most expensive cars. Nowadays, it seems like he can't even afford a nice home.
The former Major League slugger has reportedly been evicted from his home and is currently living in a friend's garage. This is all coming from the popular tabloid website, TMZ, ...
Last night the Yankees bullpen went a combined 3.2 innings without allowing a run. At a certain point this season that would have been a major achievement for them, but lately it has been par for the course for them.
Get this, over the last 30 days the Yankees bullpen has had a 2.35 ERA, good for the best in the American League.
Leading the way has been David Robertson who has grabbed the eighth inning role and hasn’t given up an earned run since July 2. That’s 15 straight appearances ...
The Yankees sat through two rain delays before they lost to the Kansas City Royals by a score of 4-3.
Here are some notes:
Dustin Moseley went 4.1 innings and allowed all four runs.
The Yankees liked what they saw from Curtis Granderson on Thursday so they put him in the No. 2 hole yesterday.
Nick Swisher was benched because of the heat.
Alfredo Aceves made a rehab start last night in Double-A. He threw two innings, allowed no runs, one strikeout, and no walks.
