It is no secret that the New York Yankees are struggling; losing Derek Jeter; they can’t score a run; and they are already down 0-2 to the Tigers in the ALCS but that is just the tip of the iceberg. Blame has been thrown around from A-rod, to the umps to old age but the [...]

Who do you think will win ALDS Game 5: Yankees or Orioles?
The New York Yankees missed their opportunity to move on to the ALCS last night when the Baltimore Orioles scored a run in the 13th inning affair last night in the Bronx. Now both teams’ backs are against the wall, as only one can win tonight. So, which team do you think will be popping [...]
Yankees: Camden Yard, LOB and Ray Lewis
Taking the train down to Baltimore, MD to watch the Yankees in ALDS Game 2 in enemy territory, I was hoping to see New York win; or at the very least not watch them hand a game, 3-2, to the Orioles. Ahh…but it was the same old for the Yankees, who stranded 11 runners on base, [...]

Pettitte hurled five scoreless innings, giving up four hits with three strikeouts, leading his Yankees in a 4-2 win in the daytime opener [...]

For over 100 years, the Red Sox and Yankees, the two most storied franchises in baseball, have shared the most heated rivalry in all of American sports. 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 [...]
New York Yankees: Please don’t ruin Phelps too
Does anyone else find Yankees pitching prospect David Phelps’ story eerily familiar? Getting tossed around like a rag doll between the rotation, bullpen and minors all season. Not be allotted the chance to settle into a roll. Pre-set pitching/innings limit. Getting stretched multiple times as a starter. Excuse me, as the above is not supposed to be a history lesson on Joba Chamberlain and Phil [...]
