One of the most highly anticipated inter-league series this season has already lived up to expectations. CC Sabathia limited Los Angeles to one run over eight innings as the Yankees topped the Dodgers, 2-1, Friday night at Dodger Stadium.
The story going into the game was Dodgers manager Joe Torre facing the team he managed for 12 seasons. During his time in New York, Torre won 1,173 games and led the Yankees to six AL pennants and four World Series championships.
By the time the game ended, however, Sabathia (9-3) was ...
Kincaid’s is supposed to have one of the best hamburgers in America.
Each morning they grind a fresh batch of prime beef, g rilled to perfection, served on a bulky roll, and garnished with your choice of any or all kinds cheese, crisp lettuce, sliced tomatoes, grilled onions, and jalapenos. Yummy.
There's nothing like a big old grease bomb washed down with some cold barley soup to make a man feel good about life. The place started as a grocery store in ...
The new Yankee Stadium has only been open for just over a year now, but in that short time span, it has played host to some very special and memorable games in Yankee history.
From a World Series to a 15 inning epic, here are my top five most memorable games at the new big ballpark in the Bronx.Begin Slideshow
Yankees -Dodgers is one of the most classic and enduring rivalries in all of American sports. These two clubs have had a unique relationship since the early 20th century when the Dodgers still played at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. Having met each other in the World Series 11 times, most recently in the 1981 fall classic, these are clearly two franchises who don’t like each other.
For those who believe that Yankees-Dodgers has lost its luster over the past 50 years, ticket data for this weekend’s series begs to differ. Tickets for ...
According to Josh Norris of the Trentonian , the Yankees have promoted their 2007 first-round draft pick RHP Andrew Brackman to Double-A Trenton and he will start tonight.
I’ve written about Brackman recently , as he seems to have turned a corner in his development. He’s pitched in 12 games this season with a 5-4 record and a 5.10 ERA, but he has pitched better as the season has progressed to the point of domination at High-A Tampa. His last start was actually a rough one, but before that ...
As you may have heard, tonight's interleague opener between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers doubles as a reunion between Joe Torre and the franchise he once helped lead to four World Series titles. Nearly to a man, the praise of Torre has been effusive, with the notable exception of Alex Rodriguez, who's been conspicuously tight-lipped on the topic. (Translation: He no-like the guy.) Joe Girardi took over in the Bronx after Yankee brass decided to part ways with Torre following the 2007 season. Girardi—who played ...
The Yankees (45-27) square off against former manager Joe Torre for the first time since he left the team after the 2007 season, as New York travels to face the Dodgers in Los Angeles for a three-game series this weekend.
Torre led the Bombers to four World Series titles between 1996-2000, but lost his touch and overworked the bullpen over his final three years in New York, during which the Yanks failed to advance past the American League Division Series.
Now, Torre manages the Dodgers (39-33), a team that stands in third place in the ...
The Yankees buy their talent. Big deal.
The Yankees buy their championships. They're not breaking any rules.
The Yankees have more money than any other franchise in MLB. Isn't that great?
But since all of the Yankee haters out there believe that every signing in Yankees history has brought a World Series championship to New York, in the famous words of ESPN's Lee Corso, "not so fast my friends."
Believe it or not, the Yankees have had some awful signings in their illustrious history, but fortunately, money is not an ...
The Bombers are barely leading the pack.
What started out as a four-horse race with the Yanks playing second fiddle is now a crowd of three with the Yanks on top.
With Toronto currently down seven games, the Yankees are preoccupied with keeping the Rays (two games back) and Red Sox (two and a half games back) at a distance.
I must admit, I am a bit disappointed to see Toronto fall out of the race (for now at least). Sure, everyone knew that four teams weren't going to be fighting over first place for ...
A.J. Burnett’s recent struggles are not a secret. When you have a June ERA of 10.35 and WHIP of 2.00, it’s kind of hard to hide. Let’s dissect his numbers in June and see if we can pinpoint where things have gone off course:
5.0 BB/9 IP He’s had problems with his control on and off, but for his career, he has a 3.8 BB/9 IP and for the entire 2010 season he’s at 3.5. This shows you two things: first, his control was better than anyone could have expected ...
