Not a good start against the AL East for Kuroda
One of the biggest concerns the Yankees had headed into this season was whether Hiroki Kuroda would be able to handle the transition going from the NL West to the AL East. One game does not a season make, but it sure wasn’t a good start for Kuroda Saturday night as he got beat pretty badly by one of the weaker offenses in the division.
“Overall I wasn’t really sharp,...

Yankees play with Harlem Globetrotters
CC Sabathia’s appearance at a Harlem Globetrotters game could have been some foreshadowing for his disappointing opening day start.
During a break in their preseason schedule, New York Yankees CC Sabathia, Curtis Granderson, and Nick Swisher participated in a Harlem Globetrotter’s showcase. CC struggled with this version of baseball, as one of the Globetrotters launched...

Do you think the New York Yankees are in trouble?
Well, the Yankees are off to a horrid start to the 2012 season, as they got out pitched, out hit and out managed by the Tampa Bay Rays who swept the Bombers right out of Tropicana Field this past weekend.
Even though it is the beginning of the season, I was embarrassed for the Yankees, as it...
Tales of a Yankees fan living in diaspora
“Yankees suck, Yankees suck,” it’s a common chant, but for most of you Yankee fans, it’s something you probably only hear on TV. Me? Well, I’ve been living in what I like to refer to as the diaspora for much of the last fifteen years, so when I get to see my team play live, it’s in road grays and it’s at the opposing team’s stadium. Even my cat, Thurman, is gray...
Rays try to sweep Yankees in opening series
The New York Yankees are seeking to avoid their first 0-3 start since 1998, although that season turned out just fine. The Tampa Bay Rays, meanwhile, have started with three wins just once in franchise history. The Rays have won five straight at home against the Yankees for the first time heading into Sunday's finale of this opening series. New York has gotten poor...
BBDP April 6, 2012: Dellin Dealin’, Campos Cruisin’
Triple-A Empire State vs. Lehigh Valley. L 5-6. L: Venditte (0-1)
Brandon Laird: 1/4, RBI (.143)
Colin Curtis: 1/4, K (.143)
Francisco Cervelli: 0/4 (.000). I’m worried he might have taken this demotion really hard.
Dellin Betances: 5 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, BB, 6 K (3.6 ERA). Excellent outing. The lack of walks is encouraging, and so are the abundance of strikeouts.

Maxwell homers in Houston debut
HOUSTON- Nameplates are often last on the checklist in the frenzy of player transactions, thus while Justin Maxwell was sufficiently outfitted for his Astros debut and announced his arrival with a two-run, pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning on Monday night at Minute Maid Park, the space next to the No. 22 above his locker remained blank afterward.
That logistical hazard did...
Repeat After Me "Giambi Wasn't a Bust"
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Jason Giambi has not
been a New York Yankee since 2008 & ever since his last appearance; the
masses have only been saying one thing about him. Bust.
That could not be further from the truth. Did he live up to the contract that was

Line of the Day: Jeremy Hellickson
Reigning AL Rookie of the Year Jeremy Hellickson of the Tampa Bay Rays shut out the New York Yankees for 8 2/3 innings, allowing three hits and four walks while striking out four in a 3-0 victory. The win completed the opening series sweep of the Yanks.
Line: 8.2 IP | 3 H| 0 ER | 4 BB | 4 K; W (1-0) | QS
My fantasy perspective: Hellickson picked up right where he left off. His 2011...
