For the second straight night the Yankees lost to the White Sox in the Windy City, 7-3. Starter Ivan Nova couldn’t command his fastball, and since the All-Star break he is 1-4 with an ERA of 7.28, and opposing batters are hitting a .316 against him. I am a big fan of Nova but the [...]

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. The Bronx Bombers went 3-1 vs. the Texas Rangers this past [...]
Yankees are causing drama on the field

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 [...]
New York Yankees: ESPN wanted answers to questions
Back on April 4, 2012 ESPN New York’s Wallace Matthews wrote an article called Five big questions for the Bombers: The Yankees may be the AL East favorites, but they do have some issues to face. Now that the 2012 MLB season has reached the All-Star Break, which unofficially marks the middle of the season, I wanted to [...]
