I was busy all day and missed today's game. In fact, when I left the house I assumed it would be rained out so I didn't even know what happened till I got home around 6 p.m.
If they had won I would have watched the replay, but there's nothing about a 6-0 loss that makes me want to see it, so I'm not going to get too much into a game I didn't see. The obvious problems were C.C. Sabathia and the lineup. C.C. allowed six runs on ...
On a windy day in Detroit, the Yankees were shut out for the second time in the past three games as Justin Verlander dominated them in a 6-0 loss on Thursday.
The Tigers ace allowed just four hits and struck out four in 6.2 scoreless innings as he outdueled CC Sabathia, who was touched up for six runs on nine hits in six frames.
New York's offense has gone silent over the past week. Outside of a six-run ninth on Wednesday, the Bombers have scored just nine runs in their last five ...
Justin Verlander pitched 6.2 scoreless innings, and Miguel Cabrera and Brennan Boesch homered to lead Detroit to a 6-0 triumph Thursday afternoon at Comerica Park. The Tigers won three of four from the Yankees in a series that featured three shutouts.
New York was shutout twice in a series for the first time since May 11-13, 1999 against the Angels. Detroit won for the fourth time in their last six games. The pitching match-up between Verlander and CC Sabathia featured a pair of 19-game winners from last season. However, ...
The Tampa Bay Rays have the best record in baseball right now with a 24-10 record. The Rays just completed a very successful West Coast road trip, as they won six of the nine games on the trip. They are only a half game ahead of the New York Yankees in the standings though.
The Rays have very good hitters and a great pitching staff. They have a big time star in 3B Evan Longoria. Longoria is batting .326 with eight homers and 29 RBIs so far. He has committed a ...
I don't like admitting that I'm wrong.
I put admission of error somewhere between getting a Novocaine-free root canal and being the Jim J. Bullock center square of a human centipede.
But right is right, and it's starting to look like that's exactly what the Yankees were when it came to their handling of Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain.
Wednesday night against the Tigers was another big night for the farm system's golden boys. Hughes was brilliant over seven shutout innings, and Chamberlain was throwing gas in the eighth for another scoreless inning ...
In my rant about Dallas Braden ’s Alex Rodriguez comments the other day , I talked about the perception that Rodriguez is a selfish player. This conversation continued into the comments.
Fast forward to last Friday night’s Red Sox game. Josh Beckett started for Boston. Everyone by now knows that Beckett has a cantankerous personality. Often times he’ll sit and hold before the pitch for impossibly long periods of time until the hitter calls for time. When a hitter calls time early on ...
Yankees Minor League first baseman Juan Miranda would probably be in the Major Leagues if he were on at least 15 other teams around baseball, but he’s a Yankee and stuck behind Mark Teixeira. It did make for interesting news the other day when he was almost called up only to find out that it was outfielder Greg Golson who was called up instead.
Now, according to Chad Jennings of the Journal News, Miranda is finally getting the call to The Show for this afternoon’s game against the Tigers. The Yankees ...
Let me start off by saying this: I love Francisco Cervelli.
I love his game, love his heart.
He calls a better game than most guys who have been around much longer than him, and boy, is he swinging a hot bat right now.
But no matter how much I love Cervelli, he will have to wait his turn to be the New York Yankees' full-time backstop.
Because for now, it's Jorge Posada's job.
Why?
Because he deserves it.
He's hung in there. He's part of the core four. He's done so much for this team, and ...
Dan mentioned this in his game recap last night, but I thought I’d explain in a little more detail .
Nick Swisher left last night’s game in the eighth inning when an old biceps injury flared up. He initially felt something in his arm a few weeks ago, but thought nothing of it because it went away so quickly. He re-aggravated the injury while hitting in the batting cages between games last night.
Even though the injury occurred before the second game last night, Swisher thought it was minor enough to play ...
According to Troy Renck of the Denver Post , the Yankees have signed right-handed pitcher Tim Redding to a minor league contract.
Redding was released by the Rockies earlier this week. He was pitching for their Triple-A affiliate this season. In five games he had a 1-1 record with a 4.32 ERA in 25 innings. He last pitched in the majors for the New York Mets last season. In 30 games and 17 starts for the Mets he had a 3-6 record and a 5.10 ERA in 120 innings.
Redding actually pitched ...
