As a fan of the New York Yankees, an American League East team, it is easy to forget about the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The last time the two faced each other was back in 2007, at the old Yankee Stadium.
Looking at the bigger picture, the D-backs pose no real threat to the Yankees, whose hopes are to repeat as World Series Champions.
Even last night's win against the Yankees does not change this fact for Arizona.
The D-backs are currently in last place in the NL West with ...
The New York Yankees beat the New York Mets for the second game in a row to win the series, but this weekend a lot more changed for the Bombers.
Yankees take first place in the AL East.
The Empire State Building is wearing pinstripes.
The real Mark Teixeira finally showed up.
CC Sabathia and Mariano Rivera never looked better.
The Yankees knew what the possibilities of winning this series could do, and the team made it happen.
As great as winning the Subway Series and being in first ...
Even with the New York Yankees on top of the AL East and currently holding the best record in all of Major League Baseball, there are still a plethora of trade rumors and debates taking place in the Bronx.
With the main areas of concern being the bullpen, bench, and outfield, everyone seems to have their own opinion on what the Bronx Bombers should do in their quest for their 28th World Series Championship.
Over the weekend, after the Yankees took two of three from the Mets, the Bronx was abuzz with ...
Lady Gaga, please stay away from baseball games and don’t come back to Yankee Stadium or Citi-Field again.
Hasn’t she embarrassed her family and friends enough?
Fondling herself and dressing with no pants at a Mets game, and then at a Yankees game is just impolite. Gaga seems to think this behavior is acceptable because of her fame, when the effects are actually making her a joke.
Here is a little personal information, Lady Gaga and I both attended the same school in NYC. In the ...
The term underrated is thrown around quite frequently. It can be used to describe pretty much any situation, but is most often used for sports figures and their on-field exploits.
Yesterday, June 21st, was the 71st anniversary of Lou Gehrig's retirement. While Gehrig removed himself from the Yankee lineup prior to the game on May 2, 1939, he remained with the team as captain for another six weeks.
Gehrig was one of the greatest all-around baseball players of all time, but much of his greatness was often overshadowed by the great Yankee ...
The Gulf Coast League is a little talked about league because they are below even Single-A. It is rookie ball, and often the players are so far away from the majors that it makes little sense to discuss them.
However, their season started last night, and there were three players on the field for the Yankees' farm team that are worth mentioning: Manny Banuelos , Brett Marshall , and Gary Sanchez .
Banuelos, a 19-year-old lefty, is already one of the Yankees top pitching prospects. After having a big season ...
Earlier in the year, everyone was writing stories about Derek Jeter and what it would take to resign the New York Yankees all-star shortstop after the season, when his 10-year contract finally comes to an end.
I’m not sure why there's been such an obsession over this. Everyone knows that Jeter is more likely to retire than to sign somewhere else.
However, with all of the Jeter free agency stories out there, there really wasn’t much thought given to Mariano Rivera, another potential free agent, who, at age 40, is much more ...
The Yankees have the second-ranked offense in all of baseball this season, slightly behind the Boston Red Sox and way out in front of whomever is the third-place team on any given day. Still, with all of the injuries they’ve been experiencing, they’ve had a problem with getting consistent offense. Buster Olney of ESPN has reported that the Yankees have been on the lookout for a bat.
Last season they had a great bench, thanks to Eric Hinske and Jerry Hairston Jr . For some reason, mostly monetary, general manager Brian ...
The Yankees have a very inconsistent bullpen this year. Take a look at some of the main culprits.
Joba Chamberlain: 5.52 ERA
Chad Gaudin: 6.89 ERA
David Robertson: 5.48 ERA
Chan Ho Park: 6.86 ERA
It is obvious that the Yankees weakest spot on the team is the bullpen, and that has to improve if they plan on going anywhere this October.
I realize that Sergio Mitre and Alfredo Aceves have missed time, but even they could not solve all the Yankees pitching problems, and we don't know when they will return.
So I have gathered a small list of ...
The Yankees are in the desert this week taking on the last place Diamondbacks, but unlike the Orioles, this last place team has a bit of fire power in their lineup, and they pounced all over AJ Burnett as the Yankees lost 10-4 .
Here are some notes:
Rodrigo Lopez now has a 9-8 record with a 5.75 ERA in his career against the Yankees.
Burnett is now 0-4 in his last 4 starts with a 10.35 ERA. He’s 2-6 with a 7.11 ERA in his last 9 starts.
After the ...
