For the first time since A-Rod’s first year (2004) with the club, the New York Yankees are going to the American League Championship Series! With some stellar pitching (Pettitte: 6 1/3, 3H, 1 R, 7K) and some stellarer (not a word) hitting (A-Rod HR, Georgie HR 2 RBI, 2 runs in 9th, etc.) the Yanks swept the hell [...]

Congratulations to the New York Yankees for making it out of the first round of the playoffs for the first time since 2004. Ending a five-year drought has to be all the sweeter for the Yankee players, organization and loyal fans since it took the Yankees only just over a billion dollars in Opening Day salaries the past five years to accomplish this awesome accomplishment. An accomplishment...

The New York Yankees beat the Minnesota Twins by a score of 4-1. Player of the Game: Andy Pettitte. I thought he was going to pitch a perfect game! Just awesome. Player of the Series: Alex Rodriguez. Great performance. He’s making me eat my words and I don’t mind. Now to the ALCS to face the Angels but [...]

Over the last week we have heard rumblings about the Mets possibly having interest in Johnny Damon and today Newsday’s Dave Lennon speculates about Hideki Matsui in Flushing. Regardless of their offensive production Omar Minaya should say “no thanks” to each of these individuals. Both Damon and Matsui would be fine acquisitions for a team that [...]

The Yankees Mark Teixeira homered in the bottom of the 11th for a 4-3 win over the Twins and a 2-0 ALDS leadJust when it looked like Minnesota had a series evening victory, Alex Rodriguez crushed the spirit of Twins fans watching when he hit a towering two run homerun off Twins closer Joe Nathan. Mark Teixiera hit a line drive homerun that hopped over the wall and into the first...

We all know that when it comes to meaningless games against non-playoff opponents, no one is a better hitter than Alex Rodriguez. But isn’t A-Rod supposed to be God-awful as soon as October hits? Aren’t we talking about the $275 Million man who can’t even hit .275 in the postseason? This is the same guy who’s [...]

MINNEAPOLIS -- Alex Rodriguez wrapped his dock rope of a left arm around Derek Jeter's neck and let out a howl right before the best player in pinstripes showered the smartest in champagne. A 4-1 victory over the pesky Twins in Game 3 of the ALDS ...

In a popular vote, Mark Teixeira won the vote of the fans for team MVP in 2009. Teixeira finished the season tied for first in homers and first in RBIs. He is expected to be the secondary candidate to Joe Mauer for the league MVP Award...Read the full article on Bleacher Report...

This was one of the very best October nights in such a long time for the Yankees, even if it felt like one of those games in the NCAA basketball tournament when a 16-seed makes a run at a No.1 before losing at the end. This was Alex Rodriguez's tying shot in the bottom of the ninth and Mark Teixeira

Without a fourth starter, Joba Chamberlain would remain in the bullpen, a spot some believe is his calling anyway. Chamberlain also could stay in the pen if the Yanks decide to use Chad Gaudin as their fourth starter.
