The Yankees got a strong start from CC Sabathia tonight and the offense continued to click as they beat the Texas Rangers 7-4. Here is our recap.
And here is the latest from the Yankees blogosphere.
The Yankee Analysts asks, at what point do you give up on Phil Hughes? As a starter, he really doesn’t have much time left but with a setback to Michael Pineda will the Yankees...

The Yankees have signed 37-year-old righty and former Met, Nelson Figueroa, to a minor league deal, according to Figueroa’s own Facebook account and later confirmed by Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.
This seems like a pure depth move to eat up some innings in the minor leagues. It seems very doubtful that Figueroa would ever be called up to the Bronx unless there is an emergency situation...

When Ivan Nova was a prospect coming up through the Yankees system, he was never highly touted. A lot of that was due to his not so spectacular stats through the minors and his lack of a plus pitch. However, he was always praised by scouts who loved the poise he showed out on the mound.
Perhaps that is because he thinks he’s the best pitcher in the world.
“If you ask me,...

It’s getting really close now. Yankees starter Andy Pettitte, who came out of retirement this spring, has been catching up on the work he missed back in March and is nearly ready to start the season.
He is expected to pitch this Wednesday for Double-A Trenton and will throw between 80 and 85 pitches, according to George King of the NY Post.
Manager Joe Girardi said that he...

ARLINGTON, Texas There's no doubt about how Ranger fans fell about now retired catcher Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez. That affinity for the 10-time Gold Glove backstop was more than apparent before Monday's series opener with the New York Yankees.
But some say the true mark of a player's impact has on the game is in what his peers say about him. And like the fans...

Baseball announcers can sometimes be like a part of your team. We spend so much time listening to their descriptions and accounts of the game, their opinions and their stories that we equate their voices with the team on the field. The team may change from season to season, but many announcers are there in your ear year in and year out. Some of them are living legends; Vin Scully...

Pettitte is scheduled to be on the mound Wednesday night when the Trenton Thunder, New York's Double-A team, hosts the Erie SeaWolves. It will be the second minor league game Pettitte appears in this season, as he tries to return to the majors following a one...

Pineda was scheduled to throw two innings in an extended spring training game. Now he's scheduled to see a Doctor Monday in Tampa.
"I can't tell you when we...

I said all offseason, if Alex Rodriguez is healthy than I’m not worried about him. So far this season he has shown no signs of any lingering injuries and has been impressive with the way he moves around in the field.
There is something to be concerned about though – A-Rod is not hitting lefties. At all.
A-Rod has now played in 15 games this year, six against lefty starters...

Are the New York Yankees too old to win another World Series with the roster that they have today? How many more games can Mariano Rivera save this year? Can Derek Jeter be consistent enough to make a difference in the day-to-day standings? Will A-Rod stay healthy all season? These questions are yet to be

Shocker -- Squawker Jon and I had an argument over today's New York Post cover. I left a message telling Jon to check it out -- it features, of course, Alex Rodriguez hitting a homer to help beat the Boston Red Sox and put a damper on Fenway Park's 100th anniversary celebration, with the headline "100 Years of Ass Kicking."Anyhow, here is the email I received from...

The sports news cycle is always an interesting one. Today, Pudge Rodriguez officially announced his retirement from baseball. Like most modern players, you get the idea that he could play and wanted to play, but teams are becoming more and more skittish about adding aging veterans to their squad. Part of that is the increasing money involved and part of that is as old...

The Boston Red Sox appear to be ruining Daniel Bard in the same way the New York Yankees have seemingly ruined Joba Chamberlain. By alternating a pitcher between a reliever to a starter to a temporary closer, it can not only mess with his psyche, but also his mechanics and confidence on the mound. You would think one team would learn from their rival’s mistake, but...
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. That means Japanese pitcher Hiroki Kuroda and Yu Darvish will face off on Tuesday against the Texas Rangers.
