Yanks clinch playoff berth
Following a 6-1 victory over the Blue Jays, the Yankees clinched their 49th postseason berth in franchise history. The decision not to rest CC paid off, as he threw a gem. The big guy went 8 1/3 innings…Read More
Yanks need to sit AJ now
A.J. Burnett is now past the stage of just bad. He’s ventured into the stratosphere of the historically awful. Think Carl Pavano. Think Ed Whitson. Think Melido Perez. Yes, Melido…Read More
AJ = Absolute Joke
The Yanks dropped a 7-5 game to the Blue Jays on Monday, but the good news is that the Rays also lost. So the Yanks remain a 1/2 game (one game in the loss column) behind TB for the top spot in the AL…Read More
This reeks of desperation
It’s not like the Yankees to panic…at least not the Yankees we’ve become accustomed to over the last 10-15 years. That’s why today’s panic at the disco seems so strange…Read More
Second place is the first loser
Following a 10-8 setback to the Sox the Yankees fell a half game behind the Rays for the lead the AL…Read More
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue

Right back at it
On Tuesday I moved to 7-0 at Yankee Stadium in 2010 via an 8-3 shellacking of the Rays. The hitters ripped…Read More
HUGE four-game set coming up

Mattingly to succeed Torre as Dodgers manager
I’m sure you all assumed it would happen, but now it’s official: Don Mattingly will take over as Dodgers skipper when Torre steps down at the end of the year. I’m glad for Hitman but…Read More
Free fallin’
Following an eight-game winning streak the Yanks have lost eight of their last 10 games. Through this slump, the Yanks have been outscored 48-34, went 18-for-92 (.196) with RISP and left 85 men on base. The…Read More
Greg Golson…
…True Yankee The Yanks blew a six-run lead but came back to win 8-7 in 10 innings. Carl Crawford (kinda) played the role of Brett Gardner and in doing so put the Yanks back in first place by a 1/2…Read More
Rays raze Yanks’ division lead
The Yanks fell 1-0 to the Rays in 11 innings and dropped a half game behind them for the division lead, but what a pitcher’s duel. That was a heck of a game. CC and Price combined to throw 16 innings…Read More
Yanks swept in Texas
The Yanks took a 4-1 setback to the Rangers on Sunday to put the finishing touches on a three-game sweep. The good news is that they are still in first place by a 1/2 game. The bad news is that they have…Read More
This week’s sign of the apocalypse
Francisco Cervelli had reached base safely in eight straight plate appearances before a bunt in the ninth inning on Saturday night. Be afraid, be very afraid.
Yanks lose marathon in Texas
You really can’t blame this one one Javy, Joba, Gaudin or any of the other pitchers. When you go 3-for-17 with RISP and leave 18 men on base, chances are you aren’t going to win the ballgame. Fun…Read More
Pettitte in Trenton
After attending the game where Pettitte got hurt against the Rays in July, I felt I owed it to him to go to his rehab start with the Trenton Thunder. Andy was dandy in his return to the mound, going four…Read More
Yanks avoid sweep with 3-2 walk-off
So, Michael Kay was doubly wrong today in questioning Joe Girardi NOT using Jorge Posada to pinch-hit in the 9th inning of today’s game. First, Nick Swisher hit a 2-run walk-off into the O’s…Read More
