After watching CC Sabathia struggle and the Yankees lose pathetically, 5-2, to the Baltimore Orioles last night I realized that the pitching was not the problem here. Even with a bad start, Sabathia allowed four runs to score but the Yankee hitters can easily beat that number; and this reminded me of a something MLB [...]

New York Yankees: Houdini to DL
Talk about some bad luck as the New York Yankees have placed another on the ever-growing DL (disabled list). This time it is reliever/interim-closer David Robertson who has a strained left oblique and will be out for 15 days at least.

New York Yankees: What do you think Joe Girardi should do?
The New York Yankees have started of this 16-game stretch winning two of three from the Tampa Bay Rays, and are hoping to continue this streak over the weekend as they host the Seattle Mariners in the Bronx for a three-game set. A lot of Yankee fans were awaiting this series to see how the franchise’s [...]
