DP-Rod

Alex Rodriguez currently has 11 double play hits in August, which is embarrassing. His double plays ended Yankee rallies, failed to be clutch, and is just plain old useless. A-Rod needs to change now! Check out his game log here. Alex needs to start homering again. (This season is definitely his worst. I mean, less [...]

Joba close to returning

With just a few more games down the stretch, something good is finally headed to the Bronx. Joba Chamberlain, the team’s young strikeout machine, is close to returning to the big leagues after pitching against live hitters. The earliest date that the 22-year old can be activated is Monday.

Pavano Rulz

It might be too early to say this, but after his performance against the Blue Jays, Carl Pavano may be the ace we’re waiting for. What we lack most now is offense and trouble keeping against the opponent. Pavano kept the Yanks in the game, and the Bombers managed just enough power to win 2-1. [...]

Is it time to call up some help???

Looks like it is. The Yankees’ inconsistency in offense and rallies seems to drag on and on. A big part of this is the middle of the lineup. A-Rod has an OPS of 1.000 or something, but that is without RISP. His OPS with runners at second is about .200 lower. Same case with Giambi, [...]

The Most Hated Oriole: D-Cab

That’s right. Daniel Cabrera. The Yankees have to learn to solve him, or any future battles against the Orioles involving this pitcher could end up without any juice. Daniel Cabrera really knows his stuff when it comes to battling against the fabled Yankees. The epic pitching matchup between Darrell Rasner and Cabrera could show it [...]

Pavano redeems; great news all around

Carl Pavano, who made headlines over the last couple of seasons with a great big heist, finally returned from surgery which has kept him out from major-league competition for over a year. Pavano started out shaky, that’s for sure, but he quickly recovered and got his first win since 2007.

Hideki is back

Sorry that I’m late with the news. When I finished watching the Yankees’ 5-1 victory over archrival Toronto Blue Jays, I spied a Japanese player slapping hands with his fellow Yankees. Guess what? The jap is none other than Hideki Matsui! A much-needed bat is back in the lineup at last. He’ll DH for the [...]

2008 offseason: Tex, CC, and…Manny???

The 2008 regular season for the New York Yankees is pretty much over. There are 10 games out of the AL East divison, and trail the BoSox by 7 or so games in the Wild Card standings. What a horrible way to end the final season in Yankee Stadium. That shows that the Steinbrenners should [...]

Giese placed on DL; 30-11 is the goal

Not much to say today, just another set of bad news. Whenever you see that the name of the injury a pitcher suffered is called “rotator cuff tendinitis”, well, 99% of the time that pitcher is going to land on the DL. Joba suffered that injury, well, he landed on the DL. Now long reliever/starter [...]

Garcia off the radar

Freddy Garcia agreed to a minor league deal with the Detroit Tigers. The reason that the Tigers signed Garcia, who just recently came off season-ending surgery, is to provide some push to surge forward in the Wild Card standings.
Why can’t the Yanks do the same thing??? Anyway, nothing else to express except that it [...]

Joe Girardi: hero or villain?

When the Yankees hired Girardi after letting longtime Yankee savior Joe Torre walk, they expected one simple thing: Ring Number 27. And what did Joe Girardi get the Yankees into now? One simple answer: NO PLAYOFF BERTH. You might think it’s too early to say that, especially from one of your fellow Yankee fans, but [...]
