The Yankees just came off a stretch of 20 games where they really not all that impressive, posting a 9-11 record. That’s five games against the Red Sox, four games against the Tigers, two games against the Rays, six games against the Twins, and three games against the Mets.
It has got to be their toughest stretch they will have this season.
So I decided to take a look at the schedule and see if that were true. They certainly started off the season with a rough stretch playing nine games against ...
Early in the season, Javier Vazquez was just terrible. Whether it was his mechanics or his nerves, something was derailing his return to the Bronx.
A little over two weeks ago, though, things started looking up.
He held the Tigers, ranked third in OBP in the AL, to just two runs over seven innings. He had a one batter, but impressive, performance against the Red Sox, striking out Kevin Youkilis. Then he topped if off by dominating the Mets for six innings.
At that point there was a group of fans really ...
Here is a video of some Yankees fan in Minnesota eating a pork chop out of Kim Jones of the YES Network’s hand. It’s stupid and the guy is probably drunk, but she is hot and this is really funny. Be sure to watch the entire thing through the slow motion replay.

WP: N. Blackburn (6-1) LP: J. Vazquez (3-5) Since I'm pretty busy this morning and last night's game was pretty damn awful, I'm going to keep this to bullet points.
After three nice outings, Javier Vazquez returned to his crappy early-season form, ...
The Yankees have gotten a great effort from Brett Gardner in center field, in place of the injured Curtis Granderson. But Curtis has completed his rehab stint and is ready to return to his old spot in the Yankees' outfield. And he couldn't have picked a better time to come back. The Bronx (Bomber-less) Bombers have had little production from the offense recently, and Gardner seems to be one of the many players in a slump at the moment. They never seem to have the proverbial "perfect ...
Tonight, my wife and I took the trip up to Montclair State University to meet Yogi Berra at his book signing event. It was a fun event for both of us and something we enjoyed doing together. The Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center is located on the campus of Montclair State University in Montclair, New Jersey.
While not an large museum, it consists of many pictures and lots of memorabilia that every baseball fan should check ...
First the Oswalt info from Jon Heyman via Twitter :
"bad news for A'stros. Yankees unlikely to become heavily involved in Oswalt. 'We like our starters,' one official said."
Like I said yesterday, they don't need a starting pitcher right now, and won't need one down the road unless they suffer some major injuries, so this is no surprise. He's also signed through 2012 (club option in '12) at $16 million per year, and that money would be better spent on a guy like Cliff Lee, who's a free agent after this ...
Eduardo Nunez is not really a common name among Yankee fans, but it soon could be.
While Derek Jeter has not had the best start to the 2010 season, Nunez has had a brilliant start down in AAA Scranton.
He is currently hitting .328 with two home runs and 21 RBI, he also has 12 steals and has scored 19 runs. Basically, he can do it all, except for fielding.
Nunez committed 33 errors last season at AA, making him a major liability on defense. It's not that he doesn't have the arm, ...
The Yankees got a twin killing yesterday against the Twins, giving them exactly what they needed, as the division begins to tighten up a bit. Every win is starting to mean more and more, now that the Red Sox are back into the swing of things, and the Tigers and Blue Jays remain in contention for the Wild Card spot. But the Yankees have gotten some help from other teams so far this week (with the suddenly hot Red Sox sweeping the Rays, and the Angels beating the ...
The Yankees won a pair of games yesterday, both by a single run, against the Minnesota Twins. It’s amazing how good the Twins have been over the years, but the Yankees never have a problem beating them.
The games are always close, but like yesterday, the Yankees always prevail.
Here are some notes:
Derek Jeter helped the Yankees win the rain-suspended game 1-0 with his solo shot in the top of the sixth inning. That homer could be a sign that Jeter is getting his groove back. He has a .951 OPS ...
