One-tenth of the New York Yankee season is gone. The team is 12-5. One of the greatest surprises of the new season is Brett Gardner.
Having been given the starting job out of Spring Training in 2009, Gardner could not hold it. He was unable to show a consistent ability to hit major league pitching last year.
But this year, at least so far, Gardner has been fantastic.
In yesterday's win over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Gardner was once again starting in left field. But there was a major change in his ...
According to Chad Jennings of the Journal News, Yankees designated hitter Nick Johnson has a stiff back and isn’t expected to play today, but after an off day on Monday should be back in the lineup Tuesday.
Johnson, who has been struggling, to hit, was taking extra batting practice Friday and as a result has a stiff back that caused him to miss yesterday’s game. It is a minor injury and initially they thought he could play today, but by the end of the day yesterday Girardi said that it hadn’t ...
If you missed the game, or our post about it, here’s what happened: In the top of the third inning of Friday night’s loss to the Angels, with Mark Teixeira at second, Robinson Cano singled to right. Tex came around third and there was a collision at the plate with Texas catcher Bobby Wilson. The consequence was a concussion and an injured ankle.

I slowed it down and watched it closely, here is my analysis:
Wilson was stationed behind the plate and at this point is ...
Andy Pettitte limited Los Angeles to one run over eight innings, and Robinson Cano posted his 16th career four-hit game as New York earned a 7-1 win Saturday afternoon at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. Pettitte has not allowed more than two runs in any of his four starts this season. Pettitte (3-0) lowered his ERA to 1.29 after only allowing one run on six hits. He also struck out a season-high eight with no walks. Joel Pineiro (2-2), who beat the Yankees on April 14, suffered the loss ...
I’m going to keep this short because I’m with Alex Rodriguez ; this is really just a funny incident and it’s really not a big deal. A-Rod is a huge superstar who was probably just trying to get in the head of a young pitcher who was beating the Yankees that day.
He very clearly got into his head, but unfortunately it was not enough to win the game. I thought Dallas Braden had the right to be upset, but he clearly went overboard.
Anyways, David Wells ripped into A-Rod ...
The Yankees lost in heartbreaking fashion last night as Joba Chamberlain gave up an eighth inning two-run home run that put the Angels ahead for good 6-4. It was, like all games against the Angels, very tough and hard fought.
As far as some of the Angels are concerned it was a little too hard fought. I’m talking about a third inning collision between Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira and Angels’ backup catcher Bobby Wilson, who was playing in just his second game of the season.
What happened was, with Teixeira on ...
When Chan Ho Park landed on the disabled list with a sprained hamstring the Yankees hoped it would be a short stint for the reliever who has quickly become a valuable member of the bullpen, but according to Chad Jennings of the Journal News , his recovery is going to be a little longer than expected.
“He says it’s still somewhat tight,” manager Joe Girardi said. “It’s not sore or painful, it’s just somewhat tight, and if you push him too much while it’s tight you might ...
It was during last night's game at the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim that I realized Joe Girardi does indeed hate New York Yankees relief pitcher David Robertson .
Why do I think that? Because after another game which has Robertson finishing off a tough inning by retiring batters with ease, Girardi pulls him in favor of a new reliever to begin the next inning.
Pure lunacy.
I have stated many times that the biggest mistake a manager makes is the constant replacing of an effective reliever currently in the game with ...
Apparently, the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez and the Athletics' Dallas Braden got into some sort of argument yesterday when Rodriguez cut across the pitcher's mound to get back to first base when Robinson Cano hit a foul ball...
You know what? I can't even finish describing the situation, it's so boring.
Look, I understand that A-Rod sort of finds himself in these situations frequently. I get that there's some nice juxtaposition between a guy who'll likely hit 700 home runs and is making 33 million dollars this season and a guy who's played ...
