We don't really know which one will return..if either. The more likely candidate to come back would be Pettitte, as many hint that Mussina is considering retirement. Cashman seems to think that Mussina is leaning torward retirement. He will probably retire, or play three more seasons and try to   more...

With a Red Sox loss tonight, the Yankees are still alive at the moment. It would be a miraculous come back if they could pull something off here. It would shock the baseball world. Really..I don't think people even think they have a chance. People may say it, but deep down they don't mean it. If   more...

I know many say that injuries aren't an excuse for a team, because other teams get injuries as well. I have a different view on this though. Yesa€¦many team have injuries, but not all have the same type of players get injured. Some have superstars get injured, while others don't. Let's first go   more...

Carl Pavano has 3 wins..and Hughes has 0. Who would have thought that would be the case at this point in the season. Also..who would have thought the Yankees wouldn't be in the postseason run. Pavano hasn't pitched well, but it's just awkward. This won't be a pretty game..two pitchers will 5.00+   more...

Andy Pettitte had an MRI on his shoulder. It revealed that he had an inflamed rotator cuff. "I tried to pitch through it and it got worse," he said. "But the doc said it would clear up once I rested." He blames himself for his failures, and he doesn't make excuses either. If the Yankees want him   more...

The Yankees barely hit anything today, but they won the game. Aceves has been one of the biggest surprises. We all know he was good, but to get the call..and pitch this wella€¦you kind of think about where they would be if they called him up earlier. The Yankees lineup only had 4 hits on the game.   more...
