You have to hand it to Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez. His taste in women is as varied as his hot zone at the plate.
He's been linked to women old enough to be his mom (Madonna) and he just reportedly let a 25-year-old loose for being too clingy.
He's gone Hollywood with Kate Hudson and high society with girls like Key West socialite Elaine Spottswood.
He's gone from Kate's chest impairment to Elaine's ample endowment.
Now he's going back to Tinseltown and going a little older.
Some say that Cameron Diaz is ...
I can’t believe how after winning back-to-back series against the Red Sox and Rays, then taking the opener against the Angels, one loss could affect Yankee fans so much.
Just for everyone’s information, this could be worse, a lot worse, just look at the Mets .
I’m not going to let some Yankee fans who are still upset about 2004 get me down though, because Phil Hughes , my favorite pitcher from 2009, is starting today. Yes, just two years after he was initially put in the Yankees rotation, Hughes is back ...
I love going to Yankee games. Love, love, love it.
My feeling is probably similar to how Hank Steinbrenner reacts when the Phillip Morris Convention rolls into town. Pure titillation.
So when my buddy Mark offered me a ticket to the Yankees' home opener against the Angels on Tuesday, you can guess that my schedule was quickly cleared.
Being your dutiful Yankee blogger, I felt it was my responsibility to do a couple of laps around the House That George Built and report on what I saw.
Please excuse my shoddy camera work. I ...
Brett Gardner was 0-3 for the New York Yankees. Not zero for three at bats in yesterday's loss to the Angels.
Gardner is zero for the last three games. In a total of 10 at bats in the last three Yankee games, Gardner has not gotten a hit.
He did get one walk yesterday and scored one of the Yankee runs.
Gardner is not the only Yankee struggling right now. The most obvious is Mark Teixeira. But Teixeira has enough credit in the bank to run up some lousy numbers, even for the ...
Javy Vazquez started his second game in his second stint for the New York Yankees yesterday.
Pitching against the Angels, Vazquez was just as abysmal as he had been against the Rays last Friday night.
Vazquez threw 100 pitches and 59 strikes in 5.1 innings against the Angels, giving up six hits and four earned runs while striking out four and walking two. He finished with an ERA of 9.82 for his two games, which is actually lower than after his first outing.
When the trade for Vazquez was announced General Manager Brian ...

WP: J. Pineiro (1-1) LP: J. Vazquez (0-2) S: F. Rodney (1)
He was better than his start against the Rays, but for the second time in as many starts Javier Vazquez was pretty ineffective. Today, he allowed four earned runs on six hits, walked two and struck out four in just 5.1 innings pitched. He needed 99 pitches, and threw 60 of them for strikes. That's now 12 earned runs allowed by Javy in 11 innings, which comes to a 9.82 ...
Besides the ring ceremony, nail-biting finish, and return of Godzilla, there was one other noteworthy occurrence at Yankee Stadium yesterday afternoon: the emergence of Nick Johnson.
When the Yankees embraced Hideki Matsui in a goosebump-inducing moment for Yankee fans, it finally set in—Matsui is no longer the Yankees DH.
No, instead of Matsui, the Yankees penciled the oft-injured Nick Johnson to fill Matsui's void of designated hitter this past offseason.
Johnson's second tour of duty in pinstripes had yet to truly take off the way he had most likely envisioned.
Coming into ...
I’ll admit it, Javier Vazquez is not pitching well. Obviously that is not a huge revelation, but this 0-2 start is not what I expected. Still, a lot of Yankee fans are turning on him and some never forgave him for the grand slam he gave up to Johnny Damon in 2004 and it’s already tired.
Obviously his first start was bad as he came away with a 12.71 ERA and while his second start was better he still only managed to lower his ERA to 9.82. He still hasn’t ...
He's only two starts into the 2010 season, but Javier Vazquez is not providing the depth promised when the Yankees acquired him via a trade in December.
After a 5 2/3-inning debut in which he surrendered eight runs against the Rays, the right-hander once again failed to escape the sixth frame on Wednesday, when he yielded four runs in a 5-3 loss to the Angels.
Vazquez is now 0-2 with a 9.82 ERA.
But this should be no surprise to fans who watched him labor through his first tour of duty in the ...
Los Angeles pitcher Joel Pineiro (1-1) limited New York to one run over seven innings, as the Angels earned a 5-3 victory Wednesday afternoon at Yankee Stadium. Pineiro only allowed five hits while striking out seven and walking none. Javier Vazquez (0-2) suffered the loss after allowing four runs in 5.1 innings. Pineiro held New York to only one hit over the first four innings. The Yankees pushed across a run in the bottom of the fifth on a two-out, RBI triple by Nick Swisher. It was the only ...
