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: Oh no not Rodriguez again

Alex_Rodriguez_NYY_uniform_walking

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 [...]

New York Yankees: Same old Andy

Welcome back Andy Pettitte! The New York Yankees southpaw made his first start, up the Bronx since breaking his leg back on June 27th, and did exactly what everyone had hoped, win. Pettitte hurled five scoreless innings, giving up four hits with three strikeouts, leading his Yankees in a 4-2 win in the daytime opener [...]

Fantasy Baseball Chick Lit

Giancarlo+Stanton+Miami+Marlins

I’ve always loved and followed baseball. I’ve been the ultimate Blue Jays fan. Like any significant historical event, I remembered where I was when Joe Carter hit the walk off homerun to win the ’93 World Series (how am I old enough to remember something that happened almost 20 years ago like it was yesterday?) and I’ve cheered [...]

Come on Yankees I am on vacation

After enduring the New York Yankees latest series loss to a struggling and AL East foe, the Toronto Blue Jays, it is pretty hard to deny what is possibly happening here. And that is the fact that this 2012 pinstripe squad is not competing like a team that is postseason bound; not even close. Personally, I am [...]

New York Yankees: 2009 vs. 2012

English: New York Yankees celebrate after thei...

After watching the New York Yankees, 11-inning loss to the Toronto Blue Jays last night without a doubt I was aggravated. So it I started thinking about the 2012 Yankees, and comparing them to the 2009 World Series Champions. And as usual started writing notes down. So below is my attempt to make sense of [...]

Yankees have to beat teams not from Seattle

New York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles April 24,  2011

The New York Yankees took two of three games from the Seattle Mariners in the Bronx over the weekend; and now are just three games deep into a 20-game stretch as they are now in Detroit to face the Tigers for a four game set. The Yankees head into Comerica Park maintaining a 6.5-game lead in the AL East [...]

New York Yankees: Surviving August Schedule

2012-August-Pic-350x2621

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. What worries me is that fans don’t realize that even though October might look close on the calendar [...]

New York Yankees: Team details

YANKEE-STADIUM-SKETCH1

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 [...]
