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 [...]
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 [...]
The Chicago White Sox swept the New York Yankees right out of the Windy City; and now all that separates the Bombers from the Tampa Bay Rays is just three-games in the AL East. There is no nice way to put it this, this was a pathetic and disgusting showing by the Yankees. The only [...]
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 [...]
Wow! What an exciting time for baseball, as these last 6-weeks will be about as competitive as ever. The New York Yankees are back on the top again this week because with all their injuries, most recently to ace CC Sabathia, this team is still winning. The Bronx Bombers went 3-1 vs. the Texas Rangers this past [...]
The New York Yankees (57-34) continued their domination yesterday afternoon with a 6-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, completing a three-game sweep of their AL East rivals. The Jays literally left the Bronx limping, as slugger Jose Bautista was placed on the 15-DL with wrist inflammation; and third baseman Brett Lawrie suffered a right [...]
Back on April 4, 2012 ESPN New York’s Wallace Matthews wrote an article called Five big questions for the Bombers: The Yankees may be the AL East favorites, but they do have some issues to face. Now that the 2012 MLB season has reached the All-Star Break, which unofficially marks the middle of the season, I wanted to [...]

The 2012 AL All-Star team was announced this past Sunday; and four New York Yankees were selected, so CONGRATULATIONS are in order for Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson and CC Sabathia. MLB fans voted on the starting position players for each team. But each league’s respective All-Star manager chooses the pitchers and reserve position [...]
Olympian gold-medalist Bob Richards once said: “It may sound strange, but many champions are made champions by setbacks.” And I think most sports fans would agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly. As in any sport, to call yourself a champion is a title you have to earn first; but regarding baseball the longevity of the 162-game season makes multiple [...]
