Perhaps inspired my teammate Mariano Rivera‘s vow to come back in 2013 after suffering an injury, Andy Pettitte is apparently considering a 2013 return in the wake of his injury-limited innings this season. Pettitte’s numbers this year (3.22 ERA, 3.41 FIP, albeit in a small, sub-60 inning sample ...

Yankees: My plea for Soriano

Via Lady Loves Pinstripes  |  September 17, 2012
The 2012 MLB season is as exciting as ever but thanks to the media to divert the attention, while at the same time putting Yankee Universe into a tizzy, about something that has nothing to do with the now. Rafael Soriano (Photo credit: Wikipedia) So, it came as no surprise when I read, courtesy of CBSSports.com Jon Heyman, that the return of closer Rafael Soriano for 2013 was really...

Pettitte eager for first start since June

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  September 18, 2012
Never has the return of a 40-year-old pitcher with nine major league appearances over two seasons been viewed with such fanfare and importance. Andy Pettitte, whose comeback from 2011 retirement was postponed after nine starts when he was struck on the leg by a comebacker June 27 against Cleveland, will return to the New York Yankees' disjointed rotation Tuesday when he starts...

Andy Pettitte's return fron injury could be what helps the Yankees get to the playoffs.

Forget about getting to second base.  A YouTube video has surfaced of two frisky young fans getting it on in the stall of a bathroom inside Yankee Stadium while the Yankees were beating the Rays Saturday.

Yankees Game 146: Nunez hustles and Martin homers for Kuroda

Via Bronx Pinstripes  |  September 16, 2012
Tampa Bay Rays 4 — New York Yankees 6   Eduardo Nunez got the offense going behind Kuroda in today’s 6-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.   Hiroki Kuroda took the mound and was dominant in his 6 innings of work. His first 6 outs were by strikeouts. He had a great slider that was practically untouchable. Once he received run support, he did surrender his first run on the following...

Prime Nine: New York Yankees

Via hardballchat.com  |  September 16, 2012
The Yankees are a unique situation unto themselves. Yet, even they have their own limits. They are said to be in savings mode following the season for a variety of reasons. The most important reason is that they are rapidly getting older and cannot continue to chase bad money after bad. Secondarily, even they have their limits. They have been in luxury tax territory...

Day-Night Doubleheader Tomorrow

Via Sliding Into Home  |  September 18, 2012
As I'm sure you know by now, tonight's Yankees-Jays game has been rained out and the two teams will play a day-night doubleheader on Wednesday. Andy Pettitte will start game one, which will start at 1:05 p.m., and David Phelps will get the ball for the nightcap.

Yankees add small ball to bash-happy offense

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  September 16, 2012
The New York Yankees have lived and died by the long ball for much of the season. An ability to consistently manufacture runs and a reliance on homers have been the overriding offensive factors in New York falling back to the pack in the AL East race since mid-July. As Nick Swisher put it, the Yanks found the right mix of "small ball and Bronx ball" in Sunday's crucial...

Martin's three-run homer helps Yankees beat Rays

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  September 16, 2012
NEW YORK -- In one spot of the New York Yankees' clubhouse, starter Hiroki Kuroda was talking about how he was pitching better than even he expected this year. In another, Russell Martin was relishing his big hit -- a three-run homer that helped the Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-4 Sunday -- in a season that's seen him have fewer hits than usual, big or otherwise. ...

Rays lose to Yankees, dropping farther in race

Via Fox Sports Florida  |  September 16, 2012
NEW YORK (AP) -- Russell Martin's three-run homer highlighted an eventful early burst and the New York Yankees kept their AL East lead, holding off Tampa Bay 6-4 Sunday and ending a most disappointing road trip for the Rays. The Yankees won the last two in the three-game series. They began the day with a one-game division lead over Baltimore, which later played at Oakland. ...

Yankees 6, Rays 4

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  September 16, 2012
NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees erupted early Sunday, one big inning giving them a boost to provide Hiroki Kuroda the support he would need when the Tampa Bay Rays threatened later. Russell Martin hit a three-run homer and Eduardo Nunez continued to spark the Yankees' offense with a pair of runs scored and three stolen bases as New York topped Tampa Bay 6-4, to take a key...

Jamming Juju: Yanks 2-0 since posting of sex video on Yankee Stadium crapper
