From Chad Jennings :
“I’m not going to lie,” Burnett said. “Dave is a big part of what we do here, and who I am and who our starters are. On the other hand, I’ve been pitching for 11 years now. I think I’d be able to make the adjustment on my own out there.” “(Eiland) not here is a big loss for all of us,” Burnett said. “I’m not going to point fingers and make excuses at all. I’m out there throwing pitches whether Dave’s in the dugout ...
As I was taking in the hideous stylings of one Allan James Burnett last night at Chase Field, I thought it would be fun to gauge the A.J. Love on some sure-to-be completely rational New York Yankee message boards. The struggling right-hander had allowed three homers and five runs through one inning against the last-place Diamondbacks. Burnett, I reasoned, would be a periphery topic at the very least. It turns out that Yankees fans—even-keeled lot that they are—were not happy with their supposed No. 2 starter. Fred27 ...

WP: R. Lopez (3-6) LP: A. Burnett (6-6) That one wasn't worth watching, and for the most part, I didn't.
At least not after A.J. Burnett' s terrible outing. The first two outs went pretty well, as he retired Kelly Johnson and ...

As of Monday, the New York Yankees have moved ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays for first place in the American League East, while the Boston Red Sox (who a month ago were 8 1/2 games back) now currently sit in a virtual tie with Tampa, and are one game back of the Yankees.
Since it's ladies first, I will start with the Yankees.
They are 17-7 in their last 24 games, and 12-6 in the month of June. Although Mark Texeira continues to struggle at the plate, Robinson Cano has stepped up tremendously. He is leading ...
Despite losing their last two consecutive games against the New York Yankees, the New York Mets have shown improvement.
Going 8-2 in the last 10 games they’ve played, the Mets are currently 39-30 and second in the NL East, trailing the Atlanta Braves by 2.5 games.
Since calling R.A. Dickey and Hisanori Takahashi from the minor leagues, the Mets have found success. Dickey is 5-0 on the season with a 2.82 ERA and Takahashi is 6-2 with a 3.13 ERA on the season.
The Mets eight-game winning streak was ended by the Yankees ...
The Yankees have announced that they have called minor league outfielder Colin Curtis up from Triple-A Scranton.
Curtis, 25, has played 35 games at the Triple-A level this season. In those games, he has 125 at-bats, a .280 average, .357 OBP, .368 SLG, and a .725 OPS. He split 2009 between Double-A and Triple-A. In 132 games last season, he had a combined .250 average, .321 OBP, and a .686 OPS.
Meanwhile, Chad Moeller will be the one sent down . Since he doesn’t have options left, he’s going to ...
Balloting for the American League All-Star team is not over, not until July 1, and the Yankees currently have two players with the most amount of votes for their positions, SS Derek Jeter and 2B Robinson Cano.
Mark Teixeira , Alex Rodriguez , and Jorge Posada are all in second place at their respective positions, but only Teixeira is close enough to still have a chance. In the outfield the Yankees don’t have anybody in the top three or four, but they are currently holding down spots five, six, and eight ...
Fellow Yankee fans, before you accuse me of high treason or blaspheming our dear captain, please heed my plea for understanding.
As a lifelong fan of the team, I have long loved Derek Jeter and cherish his numerous contributions to the latest run of success in the Bronx. I am fully aware that the Yankees just won a World Series last year and the team is currently claiming ownership of the best record in Major League Baseball.
Any team that finds themselves on top also finds themselves the target of relentless challenges ...
Over the weekend, the Yankees overtook the Rays for first place in the American League East division.
But it has now become a three team race since the Red Sox are playing better and are now on the Yankees Rays coat-tails.
The Yankees have been playing well in the month of June, but they are entering the dog days of summer and the A.L. East pennant race will only be getting tougher.
There have been many rumors floating around of the Yankees trying to add pitching, preferably Cliff Lee or Roy Oswalt before ...
