Yankees Ichiro and Kuroda bring Japanese pride to the Bronx

English: Ichiro Suzuki playing the Yankees at ...

Usually admitting when you are wrong can sometimes be a good thing, and I was wrong about Ichiro Suzuki. When the Yankees announced that they had traded for the Mariners biggest star outfielder, I did not think that it was a great idea. I had figured that helping the lull in ticket sales at Yankee [...]

MLB Power Rankings: July 27 and Yankees are barely on top

New York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles April 24,  2011

The New York Yankees had a rough time on the West Coast but even after going 2-5 and losing A-rod, the Bombers still own the best record in the AL. What the Yankees do now share is the best record in baseball, as the Washington Nationals also have a 59-39 record after their win over [...]

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.

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) [...]

The team with the best record in baseball, the New York Yankees didn’t just get swept by the Oakland Athletics, they got beat. A very real and determined Athletics burned the Bombers over the weekend winning four one-run games. Billy Beane might have his best Moneyball team yet, as this group is made up of [...]

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 [...]

The second-half of the 2012 MLB seasonis officially underway, and my apologies for the rankings being a day late this week. The New York Yankees were the best team in baseball before the All-Star Break and they still are as they took the first two games from the red-hot Los Angeles Angels and are looking to sweep [...]

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 [...]
