As of August 9th, the Yankees are 7.5 games back of the Rays in the AL East and 4 games back of the Red Sox in the AL Wild Card race. This bad stretch began for the Yankees on Sunday, July 27th, when the Yankees played the Red Sox on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball. Since then, the Yankees are 5-8 and   more...

Watching the Yankees game lives in Los Angeles last weekend, I realized that Justin Christian has a familiar face because he looks like a young, muscle-less version of Joe Girardi. Several beers later, I put together the following list of athletes and celebrities who appear to be separated at   more...

Saw something in the Yankee game yesterday that I hadn't seen in a long time: Both middle infielders attempting to cover the bag on a routine stolen base. Now I know Wilson Betemit doesn't play a whole lot of shortstop, but even so, he should know the signs by now, shouldn't he? My friend Dino   more...

Not only did the Yankees lose yet again to the Angels for the fifth time in seven games, they were also out coached.With the game tied 3 to 3 in the bottom of the 9th inning, Joe Girardi decided to use Damaso Marte for a 2nd inning of work. While I would not have a problem with this against a tough   more...

O.K. Boys this is what New York Baseball is supposed to be like . Both N.Y. teams are on a serious roll . This post-season is gonna be exciting . The emergence of the NEW ! Mets team has been a great surprise , But how come ? I cant understand why this team didn't mesh under Willie . I really liked   more...

With Chien-Ming Wang out until September, do you think the Yankees will go out and trade some players for a big-time starter like C.C Sabathia, or will they possibly bring someone up from the Minors, not including Kei Igawa?

The moderate controversy that occured when Girardi close-doored the team harshly Thursday Night might have translated/factored in a solid effort against the nemesis today, the Red Sox, in a gritty game. QUESTION all? What's your take on GIRARDI'S PERFORMANCE thus far in the most stressful sports   more...

The ending of tonight's Yanks/Rangers game was difficult to swallow. I'm very frustrated. For starters, why wasn't Melky bunting? Melky, mired in an 0-18 slump, and let's be honest, isn't all that good to begin with, gets the swing away sign with the tying run on 1st with no outs in the 9th? And   more...

I am a fan of Girardi, he has done well as manager of the Yankees so far overall. However, there are some time that I feel he over manages the club. For example, this past weekend against the Mets. On the mound for the other NY team was Oliver Perez, a lefthander. Perez is just down right nasty   more...

Major League Baseball may not be the most exciting of professional sports, but it celebrates better than any other. No lame dunk contests, no potential career threatening scrimmages (ask former Patriot RB, Robert Edwards, how he feels about beach football) and no skills competitions consisting of   more...
