Before the Yankees completed a 3-game sweep of the Cleveland Indians yesterday the news broke that ace CC Sabathia was headed for the 15-DL. And if that wasn’t enough to swallow during the 5th inning, veteran southpaw Andy Pettitte took a line drive off his left lower leg; and everyone in Yankee Stadium froze. Pettitte [...]
At the start of the 2012 season, I asked my father, ‘what could be the worst thing to happen to the New York Yankees this season?’ He responded without even taking a breath, “CC Sabathia getting injured.” So when the news broke, prior to today’s third and final afternoon romp with the Cleveland Indians, that CC Sabathia [...]
The New York Yankees have started of this 16-game stretch winning two of three from the Tampa Bay Rays, and are hoping to continue this streak over the weekend as they host the Seattle Mariners in the Bronx for a three-game set.

Following his last disastrous start, New York Yankees pitcher Freddy Garciahad another horrendous outing; as he gave up six earned runs in less than two innings to the Detroit Tigers, who eventually won the second game of this three game set, 7-5. Once again skipper Joe Girardi had to go to the bullpen in the [...]
With the news that prize acquisition Michael Pineda might never see the lights in Yankee Stadium from the pitcher’s mound, at least not this season, does leave the team in a bit of a pickle. Less than a week ago, Pineda was still going to play a big part in the 2012 season. Personally knowing [...]
