Yankees: Oh no not Rodriguez again

Alex_Rodriguez_NYY_uniform_walking

If you missed the New York Yankees beating of the Minnesota Twins yesterday afternoon, you obviously couldn’t have noticed the absence of Alex Rodriguez. Yes, A-rod was AWOL from both the field and the DH spot yesterday afternoon. And Newsday confirmed that he is suffering from a ‘bruised’ left foot. Truthfully, I didn’t really think [...]

Yankees: Winning, wounded and about to get hot

The New York Yankeeslive to see another day in first place. The Bombers beat the Red Sox, 5-4 but remain tied with the Baltimore Orioles who just won’t lose as they beat the Tampa Bay Rays in walk-off fashion last night. But hey, it wouldn’t be a 2012 Yankees win without some bumps and bruises [...]

Yankees are you in or are you out

Logos and uniforms of the New York Yankees

There is not much more to say about the New York Yankees. Tragic? Getting there. Heartbreaking? Feels more nauseating. Struggling? I wish but that was last week. Panic? My finger is officially on the button. So, know the question is, are the Yankees in this pennant race or not? What do you think? © Kate [...]

Yankees Labor Day Weekend review

What did I learn watching the New York Yankees over Labor Day Weekend? The GOOD: 1 – Robertson to Soriano combo are still consistently solid as set-up and closer. 2 – According to the NY Post, A-rod should be back today; ESPN reported that Southpaw Andy Pettitte threw a 35-pitch bullpen over the weekend and [...]

New York Yankees: Too close for comfort

For the second straight night the Yankees lost to the White Sox in the Windy City, 7-3. Starter Ivan Nova couldn’t command his fastball, and since the All-Star break he is 1-4 with an ERA of 7.28, and opposing batters are hitting a .316 against him. I am a big fan of Nova but the [...]

Yankees are learning Alex Rodriguez true worth

Arod-sketch-375x5001

The worth of New York Yankees Alex Rodriguez has been scrutinized more times than Kim Kardashian’s love life. But the kind of worth I am referring to is not the paycheck kind, as why would anyone worry about the money other than the people signing the checks? The worth I am speaking of is winning. [...]

New York Yankees: Casey McGehee to the Bronx

New York Yankees v Texas Rangers, Game 2

In a frantic move to fill the void for an injured 3B Alex Rodriguez and the recently hurt 1B Mark Teixeira, the New York Yankees traded reliever Chad Qualls for infielder Casey McGehee from the Pittsburgh Pirates as confirmed via tweet from NY Post’s Joel Sherman. A-rod is out till mid-September with a broken hand, and [...]

Yankees are falling apart

4081472160_658f19c94e1

There is just no other way to say this but since returning from the All-Star Break the New York Yankees have absolutely stunk. The fact that the Yankees dropped their third game in a row, to a second AL East rival, this time losing 4-5 to the Baltimore Orioles is not even the biggest concern [...]

New York Yankees: Surviving August Schedule

2012-August-Pic-350x2621

Even with the disaster happening out on the West Coast, the New York Yankees are still sitting comfortably atop the AL Eastdespite losing five of their last six games and losing Alex Rodriquez to a fractured left hand. What worries me is that fans don’t realize that even though October might look close on the calendar [...]

Yankees are wounded wimpy losers

Winning can be the best retaliation but doing nothing and losing is just not something that can be ignored. I thought the New York Yankees understood this but obviously not after witnessing yesterday’s 4-2, loss to the Seattle Mariners. The Yankees did nada but after three key batters got plunked (along with an Ibanez dusting) [...]
