<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
awarded to him based on his previous three seasons in Oakland beforehand? Definitely not. The Yankees thought that they were getting a
high average offensive threat that was going to hit close to 40 bombs a year.
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">That version of Giambi
was alive & well during the first year of his contract but that was the
only year we would see it. Having said
that, it doesn’t make the guy a bust by any stretch of the imagination when you
look at his offensive output for the rest of his Yankee c...

If you have the opportunity to take in a minor league game involving the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees (or the Empire State Yankees for the 2012 season), you may notice something that will cause a double take. Should No. 58 trot out to the pitchers mound, you might want to pay attention because you might see something that hasn’t been done but once in baseball’s modern era...

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,...

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...

“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...

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...

The NL West boasts some of the best arms in the game with Clayton Kershaw, Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and Jhoulys Chacin.
Wait, Jhoulys Chacin?
The Colorado Rockies' hard-throwing righty who has 20 career wins, one fewer than Kershaw had in his Cy Young Award-winning season a year ago?
Yep, that one.
Don't chuckle, because Chacin could very well be the next big thing in...

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...
