What did you get for YED? I always get the same thing: a simple moment of relief and peace as I realize that the rats with cocaine-like nature of Yankee Fan is being slowly but surely weaned into something more like, well, the rest of MLB fandom. Did you know that there are people who can use a restroom without assistance that have never known a Yankee championship year? That's change we can believe in, America! Let us not let the corpse get cold. The finger pointing begins with...> Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy winning fewer games than (many) middle relievers> Robinson Cano's bad start that turned into a bad everything> The usual bench woes that aren't defensible at any level for a team with this payroll (Morgan Ensberg! Wilson Betemit! Chad Moeller! The usual clown car parade of replacement starting pitchers!)> A-Rod's injury in the early season, DP-filled August, and overall failure to walk on water while providing tabloid headlines (clearly, he needed the divorce to be...

The NYPD was busy on Sunday night. They say that they arrested 18 fans for stealing pieces of the stadium. The fans were charged with possessing stolen property. They had tons of security inside and around the ballpark. Yankees spokesman Howard Rubenstien said that they hired a private security team to prevent any other people from damaging the stadium. This is wrong guys..and against...

September 24, 2008
Here at Hot Stove we have been paying much attention to Mike Mussina these past few weeks as the aging starter gets closer to winning 20 games for the first time in his career.
He picked up win number 19 in his last start against the Blue Jays and should have a chance to get number 20 against the Red Sox on the final day of the season. The only problem is that Mussina...

Brian Cashman joined Yankee CEO Lonn Trust and Trenton Thunder officials in announcing the Player Contract Development Contract (PDC) agreement reached between the Yankees and their double A affiliate to run through the 2014 season - a six year deal, almost unheard of in Minor League Baseball. Cashman spoke a bit on the focus on developing their farm system through their minor league...

Yankees start offseason early
Pinch yourself. It's real.
The Yankees won't play in the postseason for the first time since starting their?impressive?run in 1995. With five games left on New York's roster ? two at Toronto and three at Boston ? the organization has decided to forego the duration of the season.
That's right. Sources say construction will be sped up [...]
Hughes Still Looking For Win No. 1

September 24, 2008
While Mike Mussina is preparing to go after his twentieth win of the season Phil Hughes is just trying to get his first.
Injuries are what mostly has stood in Hughes' way and I'm not just talking about this year. He has had three major injuries over the past two years and that has cost him a significant amount of time he should have spent developing.
He didn...

#1 Extra Base Hit: Aubrey HuffA lot was made the past few days of Stephen Drews 40, 10, & 20 splits so one might have thought he was the extra base hit leader. Some may have thought Albert Pujols the best hitter in baseball had the most extra base hits. Others may have gone with Hamilton or Utley or Wright or Braun or any of the studs in the league right now. Would anybody...

Mariano Rivera..a finalist for MLB DHL Delivery Man of the Yeara??
Mariano Rivera was nominated, and has now become a finalist for the MLB DHL Delivery Man of the Year. This is no surprise. Year after year, Mariano racks up the saves, K's, and a low ERA that we expect from him. He is by far the best closer of all-time, but he has some stiff competition this year. K-Rod has 62 saves on the year, and broke Bobby Thigpen's record of 57 saves in a single...
Pavano gets shelled..and now you can say goodbye! That was his last start in Yankee Pinstripes.
Good riddance! Carl Pavano is finally done in Pinstripes. He made his last start today for the Yankees, and he made us remember how bad he really is. Sure, he might have been 4-1 before this start, but he hasn't pitched well. After today..he finishes the season with a 5.77 ERA which is terrible. Carl only went 3.2IP, allowing 8 hits,5ER, throwing two BB, and picked up one K. The...
Hughes doesn't get a win, but he goes out with a strong outinga??probably his best yet.
Phil Hughes didn't get the win, but he put his best effort into the game. You couldn't really ask for anything more, and it was probably his best outing as a Yankee. Hughes went 8 innings, allowing 5 hits, and only 2 ER. He fanned 6 batters during the game, and all were K'd on his nasty curve. It is filthy. The change in speeds is mixing up the hitters, and they have no idea what...
Yankees on fire..why now?a??and not before?
The Yankees have won 10 of their last 11 games. They have played great these past few weeks, but they started to late. It was going to take a miracle run to get past the Sox..and I was as optimistic as I could be. It was nice to see Phil Hughes dominate last night..and he must of felt great ending the season that way. Sure, he didn't get the win, but he knows that he pitched well...
18 People Arrested For Stealing Yankee Stadium
Sometimes nostalgia just isn't enough. At the 85-year-old stadium's final curtain call the other night, about 18 people were arrested for stealing pieces of Yankee Stadium.
A last father-daughter trip to Yankee Stadium
I made my last trip ever to Yankee Stadium last night, and it brought back memories of my 25 seasons of watching baseball at the game's greatest ballpark.It was also a night that had the potential to be a moment for a father and his daughter to share a special memory. That part was not to be - but we'll get to that. Most New Yorkers have their own special memories of Yankee...
Aubrey Huff is So Jealous Right Now
Not only did he become a statistical legend with the Tampa Bay Rays in his seven seasons with the club, but he also was forced to live in Tampa Bay, a city more known for classic episodes of C.O.P.S. and being much more of the horsesh*t variety then Baltimore could ever aspire to be.
Sucks to be you.
Who had a worse day yesterday? Fed chairman Ben Bernanke or Orioles manager Dave Trembley?
Tale of the Tape: Dave Trembley vs. Ben Bernanke
Bernanke: Sat in front of a Senate banking committee for five hours, getting shelled for lack of oversight.
Trembley: Sat in front of a few dozen fans for six hours and watched his bullpen [...]
