Sleeping Through Anaheim, Fantasizing In New York
The one good thing I can always take away from all the games the Yankees lose in Anaheim is that I usually sleep through the carnage.

I didn't see them go 3-11 with runners in...

Swisher struggling since return from hamstring injury
Before he was knocked out of the lineup for a few days with a hamstring injury, Nick Swisher was one of the Yankees best and most consistent offensive forces. Since his return to the lineup that has been a different story.
Last night he went 0-for-2 and continued a streak of 17 games where Swisher has hit .175/.235/.254/.489. That’s a far cry from his red hot April where...
