Some of the Yankees executives were upset with the Mariners for backing out of the Cliff Lee trade that would have sent Jesus Montero to Seattle, but it’s starting to look like maybe they should be thanking them instead. Montero is on fire!

The New York Yankees were elated to get the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim out of the Bronx as fast as possible, after beating them 10-6 Wednesday afternoon.
The Angels got a taste of their own medicine after dominating the Yankees the night before.
On Tuesday night, a beaten-up Angels team came into the series as the underdogs. The Halos are without superstar first baseman Kendry Morales for the remainder of the season.
Still, even before Morales broke his leg in a walk-off celebration, the Angels had not been playing typical ...

The Yankees won an exciting one today. The final score was 10-6, but the Yankees had a 6-0 lead at one point. The Angels came back to make it 6-5, then the Yanks jumped ahead to 10-5, and by that point, there wasn’t enough time for another comeback.
Here are some notes:
Javier Vazquez was great for four scoreless innings, but his final line wasn’t pretty: 5 IP, 5 ER, 9 H, 0 BB, 1 K, 2 HR. He just fell apart once he got a big lead.
Vazquez hadn’t allowed five ...
Before Rick Pitino was best known for doing dirty, awful things to mid-western restaurant patrons, he was a well-respected college basketball coach. And before that, he was the coach of the Boston Celtics. Pitino's stay was brief (three-and-a-half seasons) and wholly ineffective (102-146 record, zero postseason berths), but he did leave behind one very famous tirade to Boston sportswriters on March 1, 2000.

The Yankees jumped out to an early 6-0 lead over the Angels on Wednesday, and Javier Vazquez nearly gave it all back.
The right-hander held Los Angeles scoreless over the first four innings, but you knew the Halos were going to break through at some point because they kept hitting the ball hard, and Vazquez was getting saved by good luck and good defense.
That changed in the fifth and sixth frames, when the Angels touched him up for five runs. New York's starter finished the day allowing five runs on nine ...
There are 10 days until the MLB trade deadline and there are lots of rumors, but very little actual news. There have actually been so many rumors that a few have fallen through the cracks.
Here they are:
Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reported that there are many teams that have been interested in catcher Francisco Cervelli. The Tigers wanted him in the Curtis Granderson trade last December.
The Yankees have “significant interest” in Blue Jays LHP Scott Downs, according to Ed Price of AOL FanHouse.
The Yankees have been very ...
There have been many names connected to the Yankees so far this season, but the only word we’ve gotten from general manager Brian Cashman is that they aren’t close to any deals.
The reason they haven’t gotten close to a deal is because teams are just asking for too much for their players. So Cashman appears to be lowering his expectations in this seller’s market. According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports , the Yankees have an interest in the Indians shortstop Jhonny Peralta as a bench option.
What I mean by ...
