The New York Yankees did what they needed to do, win the game and avoid losing a home series to the Minnesota Twins for the first time since 2001. Phil Hughes was not totally useless on the mound but he was far from good. You wouldn’t know it listening to the YES commentating, as it [...]

Can Yankees Phil Hughes not tank tonight?
LAST GAME vs. TWINS: The New York Yankees are down 1-2 games to the Minnesota Twins, so at best they can split the four-game set but that entails winning the game tonight. Winning is something the Yankees know how to do, and especially against the Twins, but other than CC Sabathia the starting pitching has [...]
New York Yankees: Things are about to get harder.
After a lovely weekend of taking two of three from the Angels, the Yankees looked good minus Phil Hughes.

OPENING DAY WAS A GEM…. It was another Opening Day for the books at Yankee Stadium, as fans got to welcome the players, say goodbye to a legend and watch the Bombers beat the Angels 5-0. After a terrible first start against the Rays, pitcher Hiroki Kuroda took to the hill and he was brilliant. [...]
New York Yankees: Are you loving David Phelps
The New York Yankeesgot there second win of the 2012 season, but it was far from pretty as leaving 12 runners on base is just not going to cut it. I could easily rant about all the Yankees missed opportunities in the 5-hour, 12-inning win vs. the Orioles but I was so impressed by someone not [...]
