No Hall For You! The Greatest New York Yankees (Unretired Numbers Edition)

When talking about the New York Yankees illustrious history, and the Hall of Fame players that have donned the pinstripes, players like Babe "The Sultan of Swat" Ruth, Lou "The Iron Horse" Gehrig, "Joltin" Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey "The Chairman of the Board" Ford are a few of the legendary players that come to mind. When Derek Jeter calls it a career, his name will certainly be mentioned amongst the greatest Yankees of all-time, as a plaque in Monument Park and Cooperstown will be ...

New York Yankees’ Starting Pitching Evening Out

The Yankees got off to a good start this year despite the fact that a number of their key hitters—Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez, and Derek Jeter to name a few—were not hitting well. This was primarily because of Yankee pitching and starting pitching in particular. CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, Andy Pettitte, and Phil Hughes all got off to phenomenal starts. Much like Teixeira’s slump didn’t last, though, these pitchers' great runs were not going to continue forever, and we’ve seen that the past few days with Hughes, Burnett, and then Pettitte last ...

New York Yankees Notes: Roster Moves, Scranton and Protests

The Yankees are coming off a rather tough stretch where they went a disappointing 4-8. Now that the Red Sox and Rays are behind them, they will start rolling against some weaker competition. I’m not sure if that includes the Mets, who have been both up and down this year, mostly down. The two teams start the first of two Subway Series tonight. First, here are some news bits. The Yankees have been juggling their roster quite a bit lately. Before yesterday’s game they put Jorge Posada on the DL and called up catcher ...

New York Yankees: Good News, Alfredo Aceves Is Feeling Better

This is from CBS Sports Fantasy News : RHP Alfredo Aceves will try playing catch Wednesday, the first time he will throw since landing on the DL last week with a bulging disk in his lower back. Aceves has no timetable to throw off a mound, but manager Joe Girardi noted the reliever "has a little hop in his step and appears to be a lot better." Not having any idea of when he will be back is discouraging, but at least he's on the mend.Last year, Aceves' versatility helped the team ...

MLB Denies Yankees Protest

Yesterday, Major League Baseball denied the Yankees protest regarding their game against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. Here's a quote from Brian Cashman that pretty much sums up my opinion on the subject: "Surprise, surprise," Brian Cashman said. "I don’t remember any protests outside of the George Brett one ever working. It doesn’t mean you don’t go through the procedure. We weren’t protesting that Beckett wasn’t injured, we were protesting the procedure on how Beckett was pulled. Denied." Why does baseball even have the option to protest a ...

New York Yankees Fighting Through Rough Patch

Beginning misguided rant in three...two...one... The New York Yankees and My9 are a match made in hell. I wish I had the statistics to back this up—and let's face it, a rudimentary once-over of the schedule would probably settle this—but to me, the Yankees always seem to play poorly when their games are broadcast on the redheaded stepchild of free television. I suppose this makes sense. My9 is the same network that pays its bills on the strength of Living Single reruns. Ernie Anastos is the face of their news team, a solid ...

MLB 2010: Five Reasons Derek Jeter Won’t Break Pete Rose’s Record

Derek Jeter is a first ballot Hall Of Famer. There is no evidence that Jeter is even interested in the hit record. However, if he averages 188 hits per season for the next nine seasons (including this one), he can pull it off. Jeter is ahead of Rose's pace now. It would be fun to watch someone challenge a great record like this. It also would be nice if the hit king was eligible to be inducted into the Hall Of Fame. Here is why it won't happen.Begin Slideshow

Jorge Posada To DL: Where’s Jesus (Montero) When You Need Him the Most?

Well, he's still at AAA Scranton/Wilkes Barre, to be exact. Right now, the Yankees might want to call AAA to fix their flat team. The Bombers got bombed by the Rays last night, 10-6 (trailing 10-2 at one point,) and are now just 4-6 in their last 10, dropping to four games out of first. To make matters worse, Jorge Posada is out three to four weeks with a broken foot, and Marcus Thames sprained his ankle while stepping on his own bat. The injury bug has certainly caught up to the Yanks early this season. Which, ...
