Yankees are in but they are not done yet

New York Yankees

Thanks to the Rangers beating the Halos down in Texas 8-7, the New York Yankees are guaranteed at least the Wild Card berth in the 2012 Postseason but they are not done yet. The Yankees want the AL East, and ironically the Red Sox stand between them and winning the division. Yes, it is a [...]

Yankees: Hugh for Hughes

Phil Hughes

New York Yankees loss + Baltimore Orioles win = AL East first-place tie. Yesterdays, 3-2, loss vs. the Blue Jays was the same old song of stranding runners on base and not doing anything to different to change things. The power hitting Yankees need to get back to hitting homers ASAP, as there are only four games left [...]

Yankees: Do not blow this

toronto-skydome-baseball

The New York Yankees had an opportunity to extend their AL East lead to two games last night at the Rogers Centre, but instead they didn’t just lose they got shutout by the Blue Jays 6-0. Now other than being embarrassed about not scoring a single run, the Yankees are practically handing the AL East to the Orioles, [...]

Yankees: Stealing the AL East literally

BaseballChickTM

In case you didn’t realize the New York Yankees are stealing the AL East, and I mean literally. No one could have predicted that the over-the-hill, Evil Empire would have the third most steals in baseball in the month of September, but fact is they do. The Yankees have 24 steals while being caught just [...]

Yankees: Tired on turf and Bobby V

One would presume that since the New York Yankees are in the most heated AL East pennant race in decades with the Orioles that I would have cared a tad more about the snooze fest that went on vs. the Twins last night. Truthfully, the moment YES’s Michael Kay confirmed that the Blue Jays had [...]

Yankees: What you might not realize about September

Yankees 4, Orioles 3

The New York Yankeeshave gone 8-2 in their last 10 games because they had too. The elevated sense of urgency to win is clear, as the Yankees (88-64) have to keep pace with the Baltimore Orioles (87-65) who remain a game back in the AL East standings; and Buck’s Birds just won’t lose. Oddly the [...]

Believe me Yankees are October bound

Thanks to the added Wild Card spot, October started in September this season, extending the most exciting time on MLB’s calendar. With the AL East division still up for grabs, no doubt the New York Yankees have their work cut out for them, as do many other teams. Yankees great Yogi Berra once said something [...]

New York Yankees: Four times is not a charm

Fanatchicks

The New York Yankees are once again playing with fire, as for the fourth time in a week they are tied atop the AL East with the Baltimore Orioles. Losing in walk-off fashion, 3-4, to the Red Sox is about the most feasibly cruel way this game could have ended. Skipper Joe Girardi looks like [...]

Yankees do know how to do this

New York Yankees

Three times over the last week, the New York Yankees could have sunk to second place in the AL Eastwith a loss, but they did not allow that to happen. The Yankees won each time their top spot in the division was threatened, including yesterday afternoon’s 13-3 blowout of the Baltimore Orioles to spilt the [...]

Yankees lose to umpire

The New York Yankees started last night’s game in sole possession of first-place in the AL East at Camden Yard. But instead of getting a chance to win the game, the Yankees got cheated, literally. Instead the door got slammed in the Yankees face and the game ended 4-5 in favor of the Baltimore Orioles [...]
