“Your name next to his in anything you do is probably considered to be pretty special,” Jeter told Matt Ehalt of ESPNNewYork.com. “I’ve gotten to know Dave throughout the...

Nothing was going right for the Yankees as Freddy Garcia didn’t have it and they fell behind 9-0 by the 5th inning. However, Mark Teixeira homered in the 6th to get the Yankees on the board, Nick Swisher hit a grand slam in the 7th, and then Teixeira homered again as they pulled to within 9-8. Another seven run inning in the 8th capped off an amazing, instant Yankees Classic...

Hope you didn’t have plans to watch tonight’s Yankees game, or worse, plans to head to Fenway Park as the game has been rained out. No make up date has been announced yet, but the Yankees are planning on just pushing their starters back a day.
