The Tampa Bay Rays have a line-up that can hit the ball, steal bases and score runs. So do the New York Yankees. Pitching had the biggest role in the first series against the Rays, which the Yankees won two for three games. Let’s look at the pitching match-ups for the two games, in this [...]

Yankees Win In Perfect Thames
God bless you Arod, but the hero in tonight’s Yankees win was Marcus Thames. In the bottom of the ninth, the Yankees seemed doomed to lose after being up 5-0 after the 1st inning. After Brett Gardner, who once again hit a single under pressure, was on base when Arod came up to the plate. [...]
Yankees Not Revealing Injuries
The New York Yankees are injured, but how badly? In tonight’s game win against the Boston Red Sox, what was Chan Ho Park doing in the game? Park just got off the DL today and has not pitched since April 16, so putting him in such a tight situation, at the top of the 7th [...]

Derek Jeter, Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez were not hitting at all, add that to the growing list of injuries, and you have the temperament of darn nifty pity party. Blame it entirely on [...]
Yankees Attitudes Are Contagious
Coming home never felt so right for the New York Yankees. Tonight’s win, against the 1st place Minnesota Twins, was especially needed, as the Yanks have been away 22 of 34 games. The team was taking a beating, as the injury list was rivaling their active roaster. Clearly, the Yankees were struggling. As fans flooded [...]
New York Yankees: We Will Rock You Cause We Have Too
Not the best road trip for the New York Yankees. The Tiger won three of four, but discharged Yankee hitters with complete two shut-outs. Of course Hughes, Javy and Joba all individually look dynamite, but makes no difference if the team is losing. WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN? A lot or else Bombers will get swiped [...]
