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 [...]

Yankees: Stealing the AL East literally

BaseballChickTM

In case you didn’t realize the New York Yankees are stealing the AL East, and I mean literally. No one could have predicted that the over-the-hill, Evil Empire would have the third most steals in baseball in the month of September, but fact is they do. The Yankees have 24 steals while being caught just [...]

Yankees: Tired on turf and Bobby V

One would presume that since the New York Yankees are in the most heated AL East pennant race in decades with the Orioles that I would have cared a tad more about the snooze fest that went on vs. the Twins last night. Truthfully, the moment YES’s Michael Kay confirmed that the Blue Jays had [...]

Yankees: What you might not realize about September

Yankees 4, Orioles 3

The New York Yankeeshave gone 8-2 in their last 10 games because they had too. The elevated sense of urgency to win is clear, as the Yankees (88-64) have to keep pace with the Baltimore Orioles (87-65) who remain a game back in the AL East standings; and Buck’s Birds just won’t lose. Oddly the [...]

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 [...]

Believe me Yankees are October bound

Thanks to the added Wild Card spot, October started in September this season, extending the most exciting time on MLB’s calendar. With the AL East division still up for grabs, no doubt the New York Yankees have their work cut out for them, as do many other teams. Yankees great Yogi Berra once said something [...]

Yankees: My plea for Soriano

Rafael Soriano

The 2012 MLB season is as exciting as ever but thanks to the media to divert the attention, while at the same time putting Yankee Universe into a tizzy, about something that has nothing to do with the now. So, it came as no surprise when I read, courtesy of CBSSports.com Jon Heyman, that the return [...]

New York Yankees: More good news

Brett Gardner makes a outstretched catch durin...

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. [...]
