You had every reason to dismiss Alex Rodriguez's postgame chest-thumping session on Tuesday night, where, after another brutally unproductive game, he promised he was ready to "go off" and start hitting home runs again.
First reaction? Who was kidding whom? A-Rod hadn't gone deep in 52 at-bats, and with only five home runs on the season, the slugger was turning...

Left-hander Will Smith was a pedestrian 1-3 with a 4.01 ERA in nine starts for Class AAA Omaha this season before the Royals purchased his contract Tuesday.
On Wednesday, the Royals thrust him into the rotation on baseball's biggest stage -- Yankee Stadium -- against a star-studded, veteran lineup.
Smith, 22, was not quite ready for his Broadway debut, giving up three runs...

After spending his first night as a major-leaguer in the bullpen, left-hander Will Smith make a spot start for the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday in the series finale at Yankee Stadium. Smith was promoted from Class AAA Omaha, where he was 1-3 with a 4.01 ERA in nine starts. He had allowed 65 hits and 13 walks while striking out 37 in 51 2/3 innings. "We want to see what...

Alex Rodriguez was out on the field early Tuesday afternoon, and although he went only 1-for-4 with a single against the Royals in the Yankees' 3-2 win, the third baseman felt he was inching closer to an offensive explosion. Rodriguez singled and stole second base in the fourth inning, though he struck out with the bases loaded in the fifth after the Royals intentionally walked...

Will Smith, one of the Royals pitching prospects, didn’t show his potential in Wednesday night’s 8-3 loss to the New York Yankees. Smith pitched three and a third innings, giving up six hits and five runs, all earned, with three of the runs home runs. He struck out one and walked one. Smith left the game with a glittering 13.50 ERA and got the loss. After Smith faced 16 batters...

This got to a low on Monday after the Yankees lost to the weak Royals for their sixth loss in eight games, dropping them to .500 and into last place in the AL East. GM Brian Cashman and manager Joe Girardi apparently felt it was time to step in and kick their players in the butt a bit as they held a team meeting before Tuesday’s game.
“Joe gave us a great talk,” Alex Rodriguez...

Don’t you just love it when stories that take weeks to write need but a few hours to be dismantled?
After weeks of single after single, many (including myself) were discussing the transformation of Alex Rodriguez from slugger to virtual slap-hitter. Coming into the game, his OBP was an impressive .369, but his .404 slugging percentage left much to be desired. So, with rookie Will...

There relationship started off pretty hot and heavy with a flurry of media attention on their budding romance. But as of late, the focus upon the couple has fizzled, leading me to [...]

A rare, nice, easy win for the Yankees as both Andy Pettitte and Alex Rodriguez were in vintage form in an 8-3 win over the Royals. Tomorrow is an off-day and then they head to Oakland for the weekend. Not such a nice night for the minor league affiliates as all three in action lost tonight.
Here is the link to the recap and graph. Here is the link to tonight’s BBDP. And of...

If you believe what it says in an article in today's New York Daily News, the New York Yankees could be up for sale in the near future. If a sale happens (and, I don't believe it will) one of the big questions a new owner will get is "What things, if any, will be different under your watch?" I started thinking about this after I read the article. If changes are...
