Just got done watching Joe Torre's interview on Larry King Live and all I have to say is man, Larry King looks a lot like a gargoyle. He's one creepy dude. As for the interview itself, I didn't get much out of it. I thought Joe did his best to answer the questions he was being asked without ...

Here are some more photos from inside the new stadium. Looks like they are now testing the main video boards beyond the center field wall. They are working on the scoreboard, suites, the clubhouse, and it seems like they are putting on some of the finishing touches....

The Yankees are going to be reporting to Spring Training in a few weeks, and Nady and Swisher are both on the team. Would it really be that bad to carry both of these players? If a deal doesn't get done..it's not like they can't use more depth. If they can somehow get a deal done for Adamn Dunn, then go for it…

Chad Jennings talks about the depth of pitching the Yankees now have.The Yankees have their five guys set for the start of the season in Sabathia, Wang, Burnett, Chamberlain, & Pettitte. The Yankees have a bunch of young players waiting in the wings to get a chance at the big league level, but it won't be that easy considering the Yankees have no spots opened with the addition...

It does make sense for Joba to go back to the pen. I'm not trying to start an argument here. I'm just stating how I feel. I'm not the type of person who is totally against Joba in the rotation, because I believe he will be great in both situations. The Yankees don't have a set up man, and Joba would be the perfect fit to complete the unstoppable duo that we had. With...

Many people believe that the city is underestimating the amount of work that needs to be done in the surrounding areas around the ballpark. With the construction of the New Yankee Stadium, the cost of restoring the 22 acres of parkland around the new ballpark has gone through...

Joe Torre will be on 'Larry King Live' tonight. The show will be on at 9:00PM ET on CCN. This will be the first chance Torre gets to explain himself, and tell the public why he chose to write the book. I'm sure Larry has come up with a lot of great questions…he always does. Torre always emphasized the idea that whatever happens in the clubhouse should stay in the clubhouse...

From Jayson Stark:After trying to push Xavier Nady as the outfielder they'd most prefer to trade, the Yankees are telling teams they're softening to the idea of dealing Nick Swisher. The Braves head the list of clubs who prefer Swisher because of his versatility and because he's three years from ...
