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 [...]
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 [...]
Ohhhh yes, the New York Yankees are back in first place all by their lonesome after beating the Rays 5-3, which is great news but there is more. Rumor has it, via the NY Post, that speedster Brett Gardner has run the bases and practiced bunting for the first time since his July elbow surgery. [...]
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 [...]
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) [...]
I learned of the Ichiro Suzuki trade made by the New York Yankees from my Starbucksguy who informed me as he was making my double, tall skim latte. At first, I accused the poor guy of lying and actually said, “that is not even funny.” Well that explains why he wasn’t laughing. Honestly, I am [...]
The New York Yankees have been without Brett Gardnerin left field all but nine games this season, and the impact could have been catastrophic but it hasn’t been. The Yankees are no doubt slower sans the speedy Gardner, as the Yankees rank 24th in steals with 50 on the season, skipper Joe Girardi and GM [...]
Mariano vs. Soriano is a topic considered sacrilegious in Yankee Universe that no one wants to brooch but with the recent rumors that Mariano Rivera could return in 2012 it has to be. First let me be clear in stating my opinion that Rivera is the greatest closer ever to play the game. There is no [...]
MLBTradeRumors.com reported that the New York Yankees acquired recently released Red Sox, outfielder Darnell McDonald off waivers yesterday after McDonald tweeted the news himself. By adding McDonald, who is a utility outfielder to the 25-man roster, is it safe to assume that Brett Gardner’s strained right elbow is still injured? The Yankees have been without Gardner since April 17th, and have been given [...]
First let me say, Happy Birthday America; and then let me tell you a story. This morning my father was giving me his usual rhetoric by saying, “don’t worry about the Yankees because they are so far ahead in the AL East standings.” See my dad is the type that usually turns off the TV [...]
