Not all of the former Yankees could fly in during opening day’s ring ceremony to be with the team like Jerry Hairston Jr. did, but the Yankees have made an effort to reach out to a couple of former Yankees. Before yesterday’s game, the Yankees presented right handed pitchers Chad Gaudin and Edwar Ramirez, both now with the Oakland Athletics, with their rings in an impromptu ceremony.
“It’s going to be cherished forever,” said Gaudin, who was on the postseason roster, but did not appear. “A lot of work, a ...

(This was supposed to be posted this morning, but I was having computer issues so I'll make this pretty short) It wasn't a great start for Javier Vazquez, but like the title says it was good enough for him to pick up his first win of the season.
In 5.1 innings, Vazquez allowed three runs on six hits, walked three, and struck out six. He looked very sharp over the first four but two mistakes, both of which left the yard, ended up hurting him ...
While most of the East Coast was preparing to go to bed or were already asleep, the Yankees were preparing to start the first of a six game West coast trip.
It was the first game against the Oakland A's, a young team overall both on the offensive side and the pitching side as well.
Oakland was also coming into the game in first place of the A.L. West division because so far, their young pitching has done a fine job.
However, when you put young pitchers up against good, patient hitters who ...

Hello all! Wow, it has been a while since I've last written, so this may be quite long, because I have a lot to say!
The truth of why I'm writing today is to get my mind off the loss of my dog this morning. She was 10, and she will be deeply missed.
I'm seeking refuge in the New York Yankees, who have gotten off to a great start to the season here in 2010, picking up where they left off back in November. There is something about this ...
(Triple-A) Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (6-6) lost to Buffalo (7-5) 11-7
Box Score - Recap
MONTERO WATCH
Jesus Montero had a big game. He was 1-for-4 with a three-run HR (2) in the seventh inning that gave the Yankees a 6-3 lead at the time. Three RBI, one run scored, and a walk. That’s two days in a row Montero has homered.
He also grounded into a force out in the first, walked in the fourth, and lined out to right in the ...
2010 is here, and the Yankees are on a roll!
The Bronx Bombers are 4 series into the season, winning all of them. There have been a lot of positives so far, but I want to focus in on one.
This may be the one that gets fans excited. We've been waiting for him to start swinging the bat, and lo and behold, here he is!
The mystery pinstriper is.......Brett Gardner!
Yankee fans have fallen in love with the speedy outfielder, and have waited patiently for him to start hitting.
Gardy is 10 for 30 ...
Yankees - Athletics @ Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum (three games)
After winning their first four series of the season for the first time since 1926, there is not too much to be concerned about in Yankeeland. They now head out west to start a tough 9-game road trip against the Athletics, Angels, and then back east for the 2-and-12 Orioles. OK, so the first two series should be tough. Oakland comes into this series in first place in the AL West with a ...
Double G Sports entered the second week in Battle of the Blogs Fantasy Baseball as the leader in the Willie Mays Division. That is no longer the case, as Week 2 was a rough one for my team.
Week 2 Recap
I battled Perpetual Blogging Co. this past week. Looking back on the matchup, it seems my pitching was a disaster. Double G Sports lost every pitching category except one. So, I won at least one pitching category, right? WRONG! The only category I did not lose was "wins." Each of our ...
The Yankees are back in action as they start off a West Coast road trip tonight. That means late games. It also means that Javier Vazquez is back in action. Luckily for him he is on the road so he will get a chance to get away from the fans whose expectations have gone through the roof. Apparently, he tweaked his mechanics this week, so we’ll see how that works out for him.
Here are some other notes:
There is a rumor going around that another unidentified baseball player has failed a ...
