Since the Yankees 10 game winning streak, they have dropped three games in a row and the rotation that carried them for the past month is suddenly struggling. Here is the recap and graph from last night.
Here is what the Yankees blogosphere is talking about recently.
• Pinstripe Alley got a chance to interview both Mason Williams (No. 3) and Tyler Austin (No. 7). NoMaas.org also interviewed 1st round draft pick Ty Hensley.
• The Yankee Analysis takes a look at Boone Logan‘s declining strikeout numbers after a hot start.
• River Ave Blues says that Curtis Granderson has seen a severe lack of steals over his last 125 games, but doesn’t think it has anything to do with declining speed.

AAA: Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees Ramon Ortiz turned in seven innings of one-run ball, but saw a great effort wasted as the Yankees couldn’t put anything together offensively. Ortiz allowed just five hits and struck out seven. Ronnier Mustelier was one of the few offensive threats, going 1-for-4 with an RBI. Kevin Russo and Chris Dickerson were [...]

When the Yankees drafted Angelo Gumbs in the 2nd round of the 2010 draft, he was one of the youngest players in the entire draft and was an extremely raw though promising prospect. Two years later and he’s still a young, raw, and promising prospect, but we are beginning to see some of that talent.
Mike Newman of FanGraphs recently got a chance to watch Gumbs play in a couple...

Who would have thought that aside from the Yankees winning Saturday, that Charlie Sheen would be the highlight of the FOX broadcast? I am generally not a big fan of in-game interviews, especially on radio -- John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman had Michael Millken on a few weeks ago, and there was no way to get a clue about what was going on. But I digress. Anyhow, while I was excited...

Squawker Lisa, what happened to your jinx when we went to Friday night's Subway Series game? Did you "misremember" it, to use a word associated with last night's losing pitcher?And after your criticism of Ike Davis for hoping the Mets could just get a victory, Ike had as much to do with anyone as to why the Mets got the win, with his three-run homer.As much as I...

Derek Jeter looked at the front page of a tabloid, the one that had a composite photo of his smiling face atop a chicken's body and the headline ''Cluck You!''
He just shook his head.
''What happened?'' Jeter asked.

From Mike Puma:At least somebody isn’t afraid to talk trash about a cross-town rival.
“I can’t wait to face those chickens,” Mets closer Frank Francisco told The Post when asked about playing the Yankees in this weekend’s Subway Series at Citi Field. “I want to strike out the side against them. I’ve done it before.”
Before Francisco could elaborate on his ...

Last night the New York Mets extended their winning streak to four games with a 6-4 victory over the Yankees and quite frankly, it was awesome. I know it’s just one game, but the way it unfurled from start to finish had to leave Mets fans with a great feeling heading into the weekend. As I recapped the events that led to the win and the Mets ultimately picking up a game on...
