Showalter Owes The Yankees Everything And Nothing

Dan Dechenaux — Tue, 21 May 2013 01:22:28 +0000

Buck Showalter, the Baltimore Orioles feisty manager, owes everything to the New York Yankees, and he owes them nothing at all. Had events evolved a little differently, Showalter, not Joe Girardi, could own the responsibility of filling out the Yankees’ lineup card for tonight’s game. (more…)

ALCS Game 4 Preview: Can Sabathia prevent the Yankees’ elimination?

Chris Carelli — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 20:00:50 +0000

If you were told that the New York Yankees rotation allowed a total of 6 runs and the team 10 in the first three games of the American League Championship Series, would you have guess they would be down three games to zero? I certainly would not have. I’m not suggesting they would have won all of the games or even two since the Tigers pitchers have been lights out, but it is easy to envision the Yankees with at least one win. Unfortunately that is not the case and the Yankees have their backs against the wall in an elimination game tonight. (more…)

ALCS Game 3 Preview: The Yankees’ Impossible Task?

Chris Carelli — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 10:39:23 +0000

The New York Yankees find themselves in the worst case scenario down 2-0 in the American League Championship Series to the Detroit Tigers with Game 3 set to be played in Comerica Park with the reigning MVP and Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander on the mound. It is seemingly an impossible task on many levels. (more…)

Chris Carelli — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 16:00:40 +0000

After a wild Game 1 and the loss of their captain Derek Jeter, the New York Yankees have a huge hill to climb in their series against the Detroit Tigers in the American League Championship Series. (more…)

ALCS Overview & Game 1 Preview: Detroit Tigers at New York Yankees

Chris Carelli — Sat, 13 Oct 2012 21:26:15 +0000

The quest for the 28th World Championship in New York Yankees history continues tonight at the Stadium with Andy Pettitte on the hill. The Yankees reached the American League Championship Series by virtue of a hard-fought battle with their new AL East nemesis, the Baltimore Orioles in five games. The Bombers did it with pitching; excellent pitching actually from the top down, and barely enough runs to advance. They’ll need to step it up a notch with the bats if they hope to get by the Detroit Tigers, who ousted the Yankees in the 2011 ALDS. What other factors will play a part in the series? Read on after the break. (more…)

The New York Yankees have played 22 games against the Baltimore Orioles including the postseason in 2012 and have scored two more runs than the Birds. The result has been 11 wins for each team. Today’s game will determine who had the better 2012 season and earns the right to face the Detroit Tigers in the American League Championship Series. (more…)

ALDS Game 4 Preview: Orioles at Yankees

Chris Carelli — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 19:00:56 +0000

I don’t know about you, but I am still in utter shock over what transpired last night when the New York Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 on a walk-off home run by Raul Ibanez. Coming from behind for a victory is one thing, but when it is done virtually by one man with two homers of his own is another. (more…)

The big discussion here at Yanks Go Yard and just about everywhere else is Alex Rodriguez and his place in the lineup. Joe Girardi as of this writing has yet to reveal his lineup. Directly after Monday’s loss to the Orioles the Yankees manager was non-committal to lowering Rodriguez in the lineup. One day later he had given it some more thought and admitted it was an option.
