The New York Yankees found out their opponent in the ALDS will be their AL East division rival Baltimore Orioles. So down to Baltimore they go, to an all-familiar Camden Yards where the Yankees have played, time and time again. The two teams have spilt games this series 9-9, and that pretty much tells the story [...]

Yankees are in but they are not done yet
Thanks to the Rangers beating the Halos down in Texas 8-7, the New York Yankees are guaranteed at least the Wild Card berth in the 2012 Postseason but they are not done yet. The Yankees want the AL East, and ironically the Red Sox stand between them and winning the division. Yes, it is a [...]

A-rod is out till mid-September with a broken hand, and [...]
Yankees are wounded wimpy losers
Winning can be the best retaliation but doing nothing and losing is just not something that can be ignored. I thought the New York Yankees understood this but obviously not after witnessing yesterday’s 4-2, loss to the Seattle Mariners. The Yankees did nada but after three key batters got plunked (along with an Ibanez dusting) [...]
