Or I guess more correctly had, as anyone watching the Red Sox’s lackluster play this past weekend in the Bronx would have to agree that this rivalry is [...]

MLB Power Rankings: August 17 and Yankees claim the top spot again
Wow! What an exciting time for baseball, as these last 6-weeks will be about as competitive as ever. The New York Yankees are back on the top again this week because with all their injuries, most recently to ace CC Sabathia, this team is still winning.

New York Yankees: How Lowe can you go
The New York Yankees left Canada with a series win against a battered Toronto Blue Jays but lost their ace CC Sabathiato the 15-day DL with a sore left elbow. This is the second time Sabathia has been injured in 2012, but the first time it was his groin, and not his throwing arm’s elbow. [...]
