Once I saw that the start of tonight's game was going to be delayed by rain, I had no intention of blogging after it ended. But it was a great win so how could I not? The team pulled Brian Bruney's ass out of the fire. He came in and absolutely sucked but the boys picked him...

The Yankees jumped into the trade market today picking up Eric Hinske from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for Casey Erickson and Eric Fryer, 2 minor leaguers.At first, I was like, "huh?" Then I remembered that Xavier Nady was done for the year and then it clicked. I&...

The site rotoinfo.com has a post up today titled, 2003 steroid list leaks out? . It mentions nothing about where it came from or how it came about. It simply says "rumored steroid list" and lists the names. I want to stress that this is purely a rumor at this point. I'...

I must say that the Yankees are playing some decent baseball right now. They've won 5 straight and the sweep of the Mets gave them a respectable 9-6 record against their National League opponents. Going 6-3 on the recent road trip is nothing to scoff at either. The team heads in...

Game ran long so there won't be a post tonight. I just wanted to hop online real quick and congratulate the legendary Mariano Rivera on picking up his 500th career save. He and Trevor Hoffman (571) are the only 2 closers in history with 500 or more saves. Congrats Mo! You truly...

Let the good times roll. The Yankees continued their winning ways, running the win steak to 4 with a 5-0 shutout of their crosstown rivals. Tonight's win was all about one man: A.J. Burnett. A.J. in a word: awesome. A.J. in another word: dominant. The Mets couldn't touch him...

Forgive me for not posting about last night's game like I said I was. My lunch break kind of got away from me. But here it is in a nutshell: Andy Pettitte sucked and he's lucky the offense showed up for him. Moving on....CC Sabathia = the man! He was absolutely dominant today...

I know a lot of people find their way to this site when the Yankees play on My9. I get a lot of hits from web searched looking for info. So if you're looking for tonight's Yankees/Mets game and you don't get the My9 feed, don't worry. Look for the game (assuming they...

Tonight's Yankees-Braves game didn't seem like it was ever going to end. I'm dead tired so I'm going to save my post-game entry until tomorrow around noon-1 EST. I will say that it was a great win for the Yanks, even with Pettitte's meltdown. 11 runs on 16 hits...

Finally, the Yankees score some runs. Finally, the Yankees win. I didn't think they had much of a chance going into the game tonight. They struggled against the Braves' starter and only got things going once he got knocked out of the game. But hey, I'll take it. A win is...

Alright, this story is getting old. It's tired. I get it. The Yankees offense is in a huge funk. A really huge funk. They can't hit with runners in scoring position. They suck when facing a pitcher they've never seen before. To quote the Duke, "This is getting to be...

My friends and I went to see The Hangover (freaking hysterical!) on Saturday night. We went to the 9:50pm show so I got to see most of the Yankees/Marlins game. It was a quick one as both pitchers were dealing. I listened to the top of the 8th on the radio as I sat and waited for my...

It's been a long day my friends. I wanted to blog before bed because I know if I don't, I won't have much time tomorrow because when you have 2 kids under the age of 2, you never know how much free time you'll get. I'm going to make this a quickie, which likely...

According to Thesaurus.com there are 31 synonyms for the word pathetic. Pathetic is the perfect word to describe this series against the Nationals. The Nationals have the worst pitching staff in all of MLB. Look up the stats. You'll find it to be true. In 3 games against the lowly...

Tonight's 3-2 loss to the Nationals pretty much sucks the big one. You never want to lose to a team that would be 21 games or so behind you if they were in your division, and definitely if they're that far back in June. There's not much to say about the game itself. Chien...

As is always the case when the game is on My9, I didn't get to see tonight's Yankee/Nationals game. Frequent readers of the blog have seen me write before about how the Buffalo market has no carrier for those games. The previous network that showed them went all religious and...

As I was watching yesterday's 15-0 beatdown of the Mets, I started wondering if A.J. Burnett would have pitched as well as he did if Jorge Posada were his battery mate instead of Francisco Cervelli. I've heard and read a lot of things over the years about Posada as a catcher...

OK, why is it the Yankees can rip arguably the best pitcher in the game for 9 runs on 9 hits over 3 innings, but they can't manage bupkiss against pitchers with minimal starts that they've never seen before. After Friday's improbable victory, I blogged that the Yanks always...

Last night I couldn't find the words to start the post because my mind was blown over watching the Yankees blow another game to the Sox. Tonight, I'm having the same problem but this time it's a good thing. I can't believe that the Yankees won on of all things, a dropped...

I've been sitting in front of my laptop now for about 15 minutes trying to figure out what to write. My mind is pretty much blown after watching the Yankees choke away yet another game to the Red Sox, running their record against them this year to 0-8. I'm flabbergasted. I...

I just shook my Yankees Magic 8-ball and asked it if the Yankees would ever beat the Red Sox? The reply was "outlook not so good." I don't really have a Magic 8-ball but if I did, I'm sure that's what it would say. The Sox have the Yankees number. No doubt about...
