The Yankees have finalized their postseason roster and there are a few surprises, but nothing major. I blogged a few days ago with what I thought the roster would be. Here's that list:Hitters: Jorge Posada, Mark Teixeira, Robinson Cano, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Nick Swisher...

Wow. The game between the Tigers and Twins was epic. It was an instant classic. It was arguably the game of the year. It was a knocked-down, dragged-out fight that lasted almost 5 hours and went into extra innings. It was exactly what I wanted to see. I'm not sure I wanted to see...

The Yanks finished off the regular season on a high note. Their victory over the Rays was a nice way to end things. The Yanks finished with an MLB best 103 wins. 103-59. That's pretty impressive. Now it's time to make sure that those 103 wins aren't for nothing. It only...

The Yanks lost for the 2nd straight time to the Rays tonight. I don't really care. I can't put a lot of stock in these games. The only thing I've been keeping my eye on is how the pitchers are doing. CC pitched last night and we all know how he did. I'm sure it wasn...

The ALDS kicks off a little less than a week from now. The big unanswered questions left are who will the Yankees play, which series will they take, and who will be on the playoff roster? Let me address those one-by-one:1)Who will the Yankees play? The smart money is on Detroit as...
Yanks Finish Final Homestand With 4-3 Loss To Royals

Last night's loss to the Royals was not the perfect way to wrap up the last homestand of the regular season, but what can you do? It would have been rather fitting to win it on a walkoff. Maybe they would have had the regular lineup still been in place, but these games aren'...

I wanted to post something about last night's game during my lunch today but work was pretty busy and I didn't have the time. Since tonight's game is a little less than 2 hours from now, I don't want to write a full post. Here are some really quick little notes:A.J...

I caught about 3 innings of the game last night. The 2 hour rain delay put a hurting on my ability to watch it. So I don't have much to report on it. I'm very pleased with the result. Our B-team put a whomping on the Royals for win #101. Nice.It was cool to see that Ramiro...

An anonymous reader, possibly my friend Don, left a comment earlier about a travesty that happened in my old stomping grounds, Syracuse, NY. A 4th grader in Baldwinsville, NY was told by his teacher, a Red Sox fan, to turn his Yankee shirt inside-out. Are you kidding me? Unreal.I can...

Today's Yankees/Red Sox game was pretty exciting. It shouldn't have been though. The Yankees should have blown the Sox away. Dice-K somehow pitched his way out of trouble in what seemed like every inning. The Yankees had many opportunities to score but they just never got it...

If you read my last entry then you know I didn't get to see any of tonight's Yankees/Sox game because it was on My9. And if you've read the blog long enough, you know that the Yankee games on My9 are not carried her in the Buffalo area if you have Direct TV or Verizon Fios...

The series with the Red Sox kicks off tonight. It's a pretty big series. The Yankees could end up clinching the division or they could end up letting Boston right back into it. A sweep by the Yankees and it's over. If the Yanks take two of 3, they can do no worse than tie for...

I got a text alert from the Yankees an hour or so before the game started. It said that Girardi was keeping A-Rod, Damon, and Swisher out of the lineup. When I read that my first thought was, "Well I hope A.J. is on because it'll be a weak lineup." The offense hasn'...

I just remembered that today's game is at 3:30. I'm psyched because I'll actually get to follow it. The 1st half on the radio, the 2nd half on TV. I think it would be a huge confidence booster if the Yanks can leave Anaheim with a win. They've struggled there mightily...

Thanks to the Red Sox blowing 2 6-run leads, the Yankees magic # dropped to 8. The Yankees failed again to clinch a playoff spot. It's still not a big deal. The team is fine. I don't think there is anything to worry about in terms of them playing in October, or in terms of...

It was a good thing it was Sunday yesterday. I was so disgusted at watching Joba pitch that I had to change the channel. Thank God football was on. I checked in periodically to see if the score had changed and it never did. I wrote yesterday after the 1st inning that it looked like...

The Rangers lost to the Angels 10-5. The Yankees magic # to clinch a playoff spot is now 1, which means a win today, and they're in. They're currently down 2-0 in the first and it looks like bad-Joba is on the hill. Hopefully he settles down and they wrap up the spot today...

I am still a little dumbfounded at how last night's Yankees/Mariners game ended. Had I known it would end that way, I wouldn't have stayed up 2 hours past my bed time to watch it. It was a good game with a terrible ending. The legendary Mariano Rivera blew a save. It happens...

Thank you Jorge Posothead. Your stupidity has paid off. If Posada wasn't serving a 3 game suspension, Francisco Cervelli wouldn't have been in the ballgame. If Cervelli wasn't in the ballgame, maybe the Yanks don't win this game. Who knows? What's done is done....

I caught the highlights, or should I say lowlights, of last night's loss to the Blue Jays this morning. I really want to know what Jorge Posada was thinking when he threw a little shimmy on Jesse Carlson after he scored. I really thought Jorge was smarter than that. I've always...
