Just when you thought that you would never see him again after being traded to Philly this past offseason, Roy Halladay returns to clash with the Yankees in the Bronx.
Halladay is not the same as he was last year either, he's better.
Heading into tomorrow's game, his record stands at 8-4 to the tune of a 1.96 ERA, along with his 85 strikeouts and 14 walks.
And as many Yankee fans know, Halladay has done quite well to holding the Bombers down in the past, with an 18-6 record and 2.84 career ERA ...
From Chad Jennings :
After the eighth inning, Joe Girardi asked Jorge Posada how he was feeling. When Girardi heard the answer, he decided to send Francisco Cervelli to catch the ninth. “He said, ‘I’m a little sore,’” Girardi said. “I said, ‘Well, that’s good then. You caught eight innings, that’s pretty good for your first rehab start behind the plate.’” Posada said sore was the wrong word. His foot was simply fatigued, with no pain in the area that was broken last month. “It got tired,” he said. ...
This Week in Yankees History: June 13th - June 19th
June 13th
1913 - The New York Yankees notch their 13th win of the 1913 AL season at this incredibly late date. They had already lost 36 games.
1921 - Babe Ruth of the Yankees hit a 460 FT HR into the CF bleachers in the Polo Grounds, for the first HR ever hit to that spot. Ruth added his 21st HR of the 1921 AL season also he pitched 5 innings in the 13- 6 win over the Detroit ...
Prior to yesterday’s game, Jorge Posada had been in a 4-for-30 slump over his last nine games. However, Posada has appeared to put his slump behind him. One day after belting a grand slam in Saturday’s win, Posada delivered an encore with a grand slam in New York’s 9-5 win over Houston Sunday at Yankee Stadium. Posada became the first Yankee to hit grand slams in consecutive games since Bill Dickey in 1937.
New York won for the sixth time in the last seven games. With Tampa Bay’s loss to Florida, ...
The New York Yankees beat the Houston Astros 9-5, as they swept them at Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees have finally closed the gap between the Rays and are in first place in the American League East.
To help this cause, catcher Jorge Posada hit a grand slam: in two straight games.
Robinson Cano also chipped in, by hitting a solo home run. This was a small milestone for the young second baseman, as the home run was his 100th.
Starter Phil Hughes wasn't much impressive, as he allowed 5 runs in 5 2/3 ...
-Bronx, New York, 06/13/2015
The New York Yankees have completed their starting rotation for the 2015 season.
This past spring training, Joba Chamberlain was trying once again to figure out his role. Joba was involved in two competitions: one was for a spot in the rotation and the other was for the closer role. Whichever competition he did not lose, he would take over.
Mark Melancon served as his competition for the closer role. The Yankees were considering either Chamberlain or Andrew Brackman for their final starter slot. ...
Jim Joyce, the umpire whose missed call deprived Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga of a perfect game on June 2, is baseball’s best umpire nonetheless, according to an exclusive ESPN The Magazine Baseball Confidential poll of 100 major league players.
In general, however, baseball players think the umpires are pretty good. Overall, 29 percent of the players surveyed gave the umpires a “B” grade, with 20 percent giving them a “C” and 16 percent and “A.”
I will say that ...
"Excuse me, Mr. Jeter. Cooperstown is on line 1."
When Derek Jeter hit 2 home runs on Saturday afternoon against the Houston Astros, he picked up his 2825th and 2826th career regular season hits. Of course, the home runs were important because they helped the Javier Vazquez and the New York Yankees win. Otherwise, most people wouldn't care that Jeter picked up a couple more hits.
Actually, those two home runs have a much more noteworthy place in Jeter's career. With having compiled 175 hits in his postseason career and now having hit over ...
