Postseason Thoughts (Generally and Specifically)

According to Marc Carig, Joe Girardi said today that Derek Jeter has been petty sick lately.“I noticed it on Monday,” Girardi said. “And he was pretty sick. He was still pretty sick yesterday. I’m hoping that he feels better, but it didn’t seem to affect him Monday his first at-bat. That’s just the type of player that Derek is. He’s tough.”Well it doesn't look to...

The ball appears to be carrying well to left, as Derek Jeter leads off the game with a long shot to left for a home run. I’ve always been impressed with Jeter’s power; at home he takes balls the other way, on the road he tends to pull his dingers. Yankees lead 1-0. Update: [...]

When Derek Jeter recalls the last time the New York Yankees got this close to the World Series, he gets chills down his spine that have nothing to do with the cold he's fighting.

Derek Jeter starts Game 3 with a homer and A-Rod adds one of his own in the fourth. Can the Angels answer? Follow it LIVE.

Meh. Their hired, obese gun did a great job tonight. Note: It wasn't a blowout, they just tacked on a bunch when the game was over.After the first call where the ump looked right at an out but said safe, I was pretty pissed. But after the second one, where the guy looked right at the funniest double play of all time but for some reason only called one of the two clearly tagged runners...

Seriously, WTF! Alex Rodriguez got all up in Derek Jeter’s business last night. The occasional butt slap is all right, but it is totally unnecessary to cup and lift another man’s behind. Look at how AROD sprints to get to the steps before Jeter got to the top. Like this was all premeditated. Thanks to Tirico [...]

ANAHEIM, Calif. — When Derek Jeter recalls the last time the New York Yankees got this close to the World Series, he gets chills down his spine that have nothing to do with the cold he's fighting.

When Joe Girardi and the Yankees announced that they were going to use a 3 man rotation my mind ran wild for a few seconds. The Yankees by going with a 3 man rotation were admitting they don't have a 4th or 5th starter and that CC would be the horse going on short rest. After my case of "wild mind" I was able to think rationally and understand why it was done. Ultimately this was...

The 2.5-year-old took an active interest in the games. He even, in a moment of anger, called his mother a Derek Jeter. Yes, that is his official Target Field hard hat and his Joe Mauer batting champion wiffle bat. The best part is that he asked to get all of the baseball props out while he [...]

ON THE MOUND:CC Sabathia's second gem of the series was enough to do away with any momentum the Angels gained yesterday. The Yankees pounded the Angels 10-1 tonight in Anaheim to pull to within one game of the pennant. CC was once again masterful as he dominated the Angels over eight innings, allowing just one earned run on five hits, walked two, and struck out five. He had everything...
