This is the latest installment of the 2010 New York Yankee progress, honoring the epic Clint Eastwood movie of the same name. According to the astute readers of imdb.com, the Baseball-Reference of the movie and T.V. industry, "Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo " is ranked as the No. 4 movie of all time .
What is more important is that the Yankees have vaulted themselves into the No. 1 record in the major leagues. With Sunday's 9-5 win over the Houston Astros, combined with Tampa Bay's 6-1 loss to the ...
We all know that Roy Halladay has dominated the Yankees throughout his career. But to get a better understanding of just how dominant he's been, we turn to this article from ESPN New York's Mark Simon . He breaks down Doc's dominance and looks at some of Halladay's impressive numbers against the Yankees from a historical perspective. Halladay's 18-6 record against the Bombers:
Only two pitchers who have more than 20 decisions against the Yankees have better win-loss records: You've heard of the all-time leader, Babe Ruth ...
Complaining about CC Sabathia's sluggish start with the Yankees is kind of like Tom Brady complaining that Gisele Bundchen hogs the covers when they're in bed.
No one feels sorry for you. Get over yourself. And screw you for even bringing this up in mixed company.
Yankees fans are used to this apathetic mentality. New York's 40-23 mark entering Tuesday's action is tied for the best record in baseball, and as such, the fanbase would probably be wise to keep the griping to a minimum, lest a poor Orioles fan overhear any ...
The Yankees had an off-day yesterday and are getting ready for a big week as they have a World Series rematch against the Phillies coming up followed by the Subway Series this weekend.
If you are looking for a place to make a bet on one of these games online betting seems to be pretty popular these days.
Here are some notes:
Brett Gardner plans on using a protective ring on his thumb the rest of the season.
Yankees minor league outfielder David Winfree has a clause in his contract that allows him ...
From Marc Carig :
Every time he’s swung the bat since spraining his left thumb last week in Baltimore, Yankees left fielder Brett Gardner has used a protective plastic ring that fits around his thumb.
He admits that the ring still feels strange on his hand, especially when he’s in the act of swinging the bat. Like most big-league players, Gardner would rather not deal with anything that could inhibit his swing.
Nevertheless, Gardner said he plans to use the added protection for the rest of the season.
“It’s a little awkward and uncomfortable,” ...
These rankings are based on a 300 point system, 150 for offensive production and 150 for pitching production. 30 points (one point for each team) is the most points any team can get in a given category. For instance, if the Rays lead the league in HR’s they will get 30 points for that category.
The five offensive categories used: HR’s, RBI’s, Runs, Average, and SB’s .
The five pitching categories used: Wins, Saves, WHIP, ERA, and K’s

Coming off a sweep of the Astros that propelled the Yankees into a tie with the Rays for the best record in baseball, New York faces a stiffer challenge this week as they play a three-game set with the defending National League champion Phillies.
However, Philly doesn't appear to be the same team the Bombers beat in last year's Fall Classic, as they have lost 14 of their past 20 games. The Phils have averaged just 2.4 runs per contest over that stretch and most of these struggles have come since ...
Earlier in the baseball season, the topic of realignment reared its ugly head; specifically citing the American League East.
It was a hot topic for a few weeks in late April and early May. Tonight ESPN's Baseball Tonight program debuted their weekly Power Ranking list that displays what is believed to be the top five teams in baseball for the previous week. Tonight, it listed the Yankees, Rays, and Red Sox, as the top three.
This pattern of the supposedly top three teams in baseball all being from the American League ...
The Yanks are in first place in the American League East for the first time this season.
After winning six out of their last seven games, including a sweep of the Astros over the weekend, they are tied with the Tampa Bay Rays for the top spot of the division.
However, questions still loom about big-name players who were key for the Yankees winning it all last season.
The Yanks have plenty of overachievers that are keeping them atop, or near the top of the East. ...
New York Yankees brought out their brooms in the Bronx, as they swept the Houston Astros over the weekend.
The Yankees were without Arod, but you wouldn’t know it by the way the team beat-on the Astros.
Jorge Posada actually brought two brooms; one broom was to hit two grand slams. The extra broom was to shut-up everyone who had doubted his abilities over the last two weeks.
Along with Jorge, the Captain came through big time. Jeter had two homers in Saturday’s game alone and seems to ...
