Yankees All Star second baseman, Robinson Cano, found himself at the wrong-end of some nasty rumors today.  Dan Tordjman, a TV Reporter in Charlotte, NC, first reported on Twitter that Cano failed a Performance Enhancing Drug test and would face a suspension from MLB as early as Friday.

When asked about the rumors, Cano quickly shot down the allegations:

 

 

 

Cano has never before been linked to steroids, but it is not uncommon for superstars in today’s game—Dominican-born players in specific—to be linked to PED’s.  Additionally, with the Melky Cabrera proven reports earlier this summer, Cano’s name was bound to surface in steroid rumors eventually.  Whether fair or not, that is the post-steroid era we live in today.

Yankees: Cano used PED’s? No

Via NY Sports Nut  |  September 21, 2012
A rumor started to soar in the twitter world Thursday that Yankees all-star second baseman Robinson Cano tested positive for performance enhancement drugs and a suspension was emanate. It has come to light that these serious allegations are completely false. The rumors originated by a reporter from Charlotte, North Carolina, Dan Tordjman. Tordjman tweeted “Can’t confirm this...

Welcome home, Gards. But why am I thinking this is a bad idea?

Via IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR, IT IS caught  |  September 19, 2012
Brett Gardner - aka, the Yankee Jacoby - could be activated today for the twinbill against the Toronto Not-That-There's-Anything-Wrong-With-Thats. Gards still cannot hit. Basically, that puts him on an even keel with Nick Swisher after August 1. In fact, with runners on base, I'd take my chances with Gardner bunting over half the "professional" hitters on this...

Ichiro Suzuki Collects Infield Single After Hitting Ball Inside Jarrod Parker's Shirt (Video)

Via NESN.com  |  September 21, 2012
Sometimes, it's better to be lucky than good. Ichiro Suzuki has been a little bit of both lately, but it's hard to argue he was being "good" when he lightly tapped a grounder back to the mound off A's starter Jarrod Parker on Friday. Then, the "lucky" took over. The ball somehow found its way into Parker's jersey, and the right-hander was unable...

Jeter matches Yankees' record with eighth 200-hit season

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  September 19, 2012
NEW YORK -- Back at shortstop after a brief detour to the designated hitter spot caused by an ankle injury, Derek Jeter achieved another career milestone Wednesday night. Jeter singled leading off the first inning of the nightcap of the New York Yankees' doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays, his 200th hit of the season. It's the eighth 200-hit season for Jeter,...

Derek Jeter ties Lou Gehrig for most 200 hit seasons

Via New York Sports-Kings  |  September 20, 2012
I remember in my early teens when Yankees shortstop and icon Derek Jeter first stepped on the scene donning the pinstripes. He immediately became my favorite player, which still holds true to this day. I almost can’t believe how time flies. Jeter is almost 40 and I am pushing 30. Throughout his tenure with the Yanks, he has amassed a novel of accolades. Wednesday night, Derek Jeter...

Teixeira headed for Florida, but he won't rush his rehab

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  September 21, 2012
Mark Teixeira will move his rehab program to Tampa on Monday when the New York Yankees hit the road for the final time in the regular season. "It's still tight, still sore; it is what it is," the first baseman said of his strained left calf. "It's not like you can play through it -- I tried -- so we just have to be a little bit smarter about it. I'm going...

Anybody who still thinks Andruw Jones should be hitting against lefties is living in a fantasy novel

Via IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR, IT IS caught  |  September 20, 2012
Stephen King moment for today: Imagine yesterday's doubleheader if Andruw Jones plays instead of Ichiro. Carrie in the high school dance, right? For starters, delete seven hits and replace them with two Ks, two pop ups, a DP and - well - maybe a BB or, better, a hit-by-pitch. (This is a Stephen King thing, remember.) Also, toss out the catch in LF that ended the Tommyknockers...

The really outrageous answer Derek Jeter gave in that Rick Reilly interview

Via Subway Squawkers  |  September 21, 2012
ESPN's Rick Reilly took time away for writing apologias for Lance Armstrong to interview Derek Jeter the other day. (I do think it's amusing that Reilly, the same writer who once wanted to personally have Sammy Sosa drug tested, is all "I'll wear yellow in honor of Lance," but I digress.) And the talk with Jeter became a whole to-do because of what Jeter said...

Yanks' Sabathia bounces back from subpar outings

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  September 22, 2012
CC Sabathia still hasn't won a game since Aug. 24, but the lefty gave the Yankees the type of dominant performance Friday night they've been waiting for. Sabathia threw eight shutout innings in a no-decision against the A's, holding Oakland to three hits and two walks while striking out 11. He didn't allow a hit until Stephen Drew's leadoff single in the sixth...

Yankees 4, Blue Jays 2

Via AP on Fox  |  September 19, 2012
Andy Pettitte pitched five sparkling innings in his return from a broken leg and his bullpen barely held on, keeping the New York Yankees atop the AL East with a 4-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in the opener of Wednesday's day-night doubleheader. Pettitte (4-3) looked his old steely self in giving up four hits in his first September start since 2010. The 40-year-old left...

Yankees 10, Blue Jays 7

Via AP on Fox  |  September 20, 2012
Streaking Ichiro Suzuki hit a go-ahead, two-run double in a seven-run fourth inning capped by Nick Swisher's grand slam, and the New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 10-7 Thursday night to open a one-game AL East lead over idle Baltimore. After struggling for much of the summer, the Yankees completed a three-game sweep of the Blue Jays and have won five in a row, their...

Walk off

Via IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR, IT IS caught  |  September 21, 2012
We would have had pie, but the Yankees gave away the guy who brought the pie, because everybody knew they had too much pitching and didn't need a guy who would be one of the best pitchers in the National League, but then again, everybody knows he wouldn't have been any good if he stayed with the Yankees, so it was really wise to trade him for absolutely nothing. But it&...

Sori seems to be the easiest word

Via IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR, IT IS caught  |  September 19, 2012
We won this afternoon, 4-2: A nice, sleepy, lead-all-the-way, small ball victory over a team that is only playing for next year's contract or pecking order.Once again, we used Raphael Soriano for a four-out save. He did the job. And theoretically, four outs shouldn't be too much more than three.But realistically, we know where this goes. Sori pitched because David Robertson...
