I'm going to keep this post brief. I'm tired, annoyed, and my laptop is going to die soon. Tonight's Yankees/Phillies game didn't go as I had hoped. Despite his rough start, I thought CC Sabathia pitched one hell of a game. The only negative aspect of his outing were...

It's about 10:15pm EST on Tuesday night. The first pitch of the 2009 World Series is a little more than 22 hours from now. I just got finished watching MLB Network's "Path To The Pennant - New York Yankees" special. If you missed it, it was basically a recap of the...

I'm still flying high after last night's Yankees clincher. Despite getting about 5 hours of sleep I'm feeling pretty good. I've got a little extra bounce in my step today. I haven't felt this way in I don't know, about 6 years. I'm really excited for the...

7 down! 4 to go! The Yankees are back in the Fall Classic! What a huge win for the Yanks! A huge win! I said after the rain out that this game was a must-win for the Yankees. I'm glad to see that Joe Girardi agreed with me. I thought he (finally) made a smart move by using Mariano...

Tonight's game 6 is postponed because of the weather. This makes winning tomorrow extremely important for the Yankees. They can not afford to play a game 7 on Monday. If the have to play a game 7 on Monday, the staring rotation for the World Series would be shot, assuming of course...

Ok. I've slept on it and I don't feel as bad about last night's loss as I did right after the game ended. I had a gut feeling during the 7th inning meltdown that I was watching the Yankees season come to an end, meaning that I had the sinking feeling that this was the beginning...

9 outs. The Yankees were 9 outs from closing this series out. Then the wheels fall off. As I was watching the Angels retake the lead, I couldn't help but feel like I was watching the Yankees' season end. I don't know why I felt that way, but I did. The Yankees are still...

Like I always do, I've been listening to MLB on XM all day today. There's a lot of talk about the Phillies returning to the World Series. The general consensus seems to be that the Yankees will dispatch the Angels and face the Phillies in the Fall Classic so most of the talk...

The Yankees lineup for tonight's game has been released and it features a swap that I suggested here earlier today. Jorge Posada and Hideki Matsui swapped spots with Posada now batting 5th and Matsui batting 6th. I wrote earlier that a huge problem in the Yankees lineup was exposed...

I've slept on it. I've thought about it all night. I still draw the same conclusion. Joe Girardi is a big fat idiot. I've been listening to baseball talk on MLB on XM all morning. I've check out a few sites on breaks and such. I haven't come across anyone who is...

Tonight's loss to the Angels has me so frustrated. I had to go to the store to pick up a few things right after the game and the whole time I was there I kept uttering some not so nice things under my breath while shaking my head in disbelief. Tonight's loss was purely on Joe...

Oh my God! What a way for me to pop my cherry at the New Yankee Stadium. Last night's game against the Angels was absolutely incredible. I could not have asked for anything more. As the game went to extra innings I said to my wife, "This will either be the best game I'...

What a game! The Yanks got off on the good foot with a 4-1 win over the Angels in game 1 of the ALCS. I've got a 7 hour drive ahead of me tomorrow morning so I want to make this post as brief as possible. Thankfully, there was really only story tonight and that's the outstanding...

It looks like it's going to be raining in the Bronx all weekend. As a ticket holder for Saturday's game, this does not make me a happy camper. The last thing I want to happen is to have the game pushed back to Sunday or even Monday. That wouldn't work well for me. If I...

Just got a text alert that the GOAT, Mariano Rivera, was named the 2009 MLB Delivery Man of the Year. This shouldn't really come as a shock to anyone. Mo had a downright awesome year. His final regular season pitching line: 66 games, 66.1 IP, 48 hits, 14 runs, 13 earned, 7 HR,...

This post is about a day and a half overdue. I meant to write this around lunchtime Monday, but one thing lead to another and here we are. Since we're now 2 days removed from sweeping the Twins, I won't go into as much analysis as I originally planned. I'll hit up a few...

Awesome win tonight for the Yanks. It was a little hairy there for a while. I hate to say this but Carl Pavano dominated the Yanks for most of the game. For a second there I didn't think the Yanks were going to pull it out. But then Carl Pavano remembered who he was and that was...

Just got done watching the Red Sox get swept out of the ALDS by the Angels. It's always a good time watching Boston lose. This was better because it happened in Fenway, Papelbon blew a 2-run lead and got booed off the mound, and the faces on the members of RSN went from pure joy...

What. A. Game. That was freaking amazing. I don't care what anybody thinks. Nothing compares to postseason baseball. Nothing. Tonight's game was a nail-biter. I was literally on the edge of my seat for the last few innings. My heart is still racing. Wow. I'm still in disbelief...

Awww yeah. The postseason is here and the Yanks got off to a great start. I blogged earlier that I thought it was very important that the Yankees win game 1. Whatever momentum the Twins had coming into this game is gone. I think if the Twins had won, they'd have taken the series...
