After taking two of three from the White Sox, the Yankees send their top three pitchers to the mound against the worst team in baseball, the Baltimore Orioles. This doesn't seem fair.
The O's (7-18) are already 11 games back of first-place Tampa Bay and 9.5 behind the Yanks (16-8), but the Birds are heading in the right direction after a shocking three-game sweep of the Red Sox.
Baltimore ranks ninth or worse in the American League in every major pitching and hitting statistical category, including last-place marks in steals (six), batting average ...
Since the first series of the season against the Boston Red Sox, things really haven’t gone well for Curtis Granderson in his first month as a New York Yankee.
He hit two home runs in the series against Boston (one of which being a game winner against Jonathan Papelbon), but really hasn’t done anything since. He is off to a .225/.311./.375 start and those two home runs he hit against Boston are still the only ones he has all season.
Granderson still hasn’t figured out how to hit left-handed pitching either. “The ...
For the second year in a row the New York Yankees began the season on the road.
Okay, maybe that is no big deal. They had a three game set in Boston over a four day period.
Then, after another day off, they went to Tampa for a three game set against the Rays.
They had another day off before coming home for six games against the Angels and Rangers.
A travel day found them on their way to the West Coast where they played three against the A's and then three more against the ...
Whenever there is a conversation about the greatest and most notable names in Major League Baseball history, it won’t take long for someone to bring up Joe DiMaggio.
Though he only played for 13 seasons—all for the New York Yankees—Joe DiMaggio is probably one of the most famous players ever to come through MLB.
It was on this day in 1936 that DiMaggio aka Joltin’ Joe aka The Yankee Clipper took the field for the first time tabbed as the next great Yankee and hitting in the three hole directly in front of Lou ...

WP: P. Hughes (3-0) LP: M. Buehrle (2-4)
Anybody else as pleasantly surprised at how Phil Hughes has started his 2010 campaign?
After today's gem, the 23-year-old is 3-0 with a 1.44 ERA. He dominated the White Sox over seven scoreless innings, holding them to just four hits and a walk while striking out six, as the Yankees rolled to a 12-3 win over the White Sox. Hughes attacked the White Sox lineup with mostly four-seam, two-seam, and ...
Since Brian Cashman took the reigns of a championship-bound team in 1998, he has acquired several players who were run out of town following their disastrous tenures in pinstripes. Scathing condemnations written by dozens of columnists questioned these previously successful players' respective abilities to succeed under the bright spotlight of New York.
So as all three of Cashman's previously lauded offseason acquisitions—DH Nick Johnson, CF Curtis Granderson, and P Javier Vazquez—continue to struggle as the calender turns to May, public opinion has shifted noticeably. More specifically, the average Yankee fan has ...
On February 16, 2004 the Texas Rangers traded the 2003 AL MVP, Alex Rodriguez , to the New York Yankees for Alfonso Soriano and a player to be named later.
The Yankees reportedly gave the Rangers a list of minor leaguers and they were told to select one.
The Rangers made their decision, and on April 23, 2004 the Yankees sent Joaquin Arias to the Rangers to complete the trade.
Arias was not the only minor leaguer on the list the Yankees gave to Texas of course, one of the more interesting ...
The New York Yankees finished up a three game series against the Chicago White Sox with a 12-3 win today. The Yankees won the series by winning the opening game as well as the finale, but losing the middle game. I wanted to share some thoughts that came to mind as the series wrapped up. New Look Outfield It appears the Yankees will have a new look in the outfield for up to a month. Center fielder ...
All New York Yankee fans have gotten used to general manager Brian Cashman going through offseasons in which he makes everybody happy.
That was the case following the 2008 season, when Cashman opened the Steinbrenner safe and signed CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett, and Mark Teixeira. The result was a World Series title.
All Yankee fans have also gotten used to Cashman going through offseasons in which he leaves us wondering what the hell he was thinking.
So, here we are, 24 games into the 2010 season, but right now it looks as though ...
Brett Gardner is finally where Joe Girardi has wanted him.
Gardner started in center field for the New York Yankees as they won big today against the Chicago White Sox. He went 2-4 at the plate and scored two more runs.
Gardner started in center because Curtis Granderson has gone on the disabled list with a Grade Two strain of his left groin.
Considering how well Gardner has been playing and how really badly Granderson has been, the groin strain is good luck all the way around.
Anyone who reads my pieces on ...
