Yankees Close to Deal to Land Michael Pineda
The Yankees have made their starting rotation a priority and it looks like they’re willing to part ways with blue chip prospect Jesus Montero. Montero made a splash in his short time with the Yankees and he’s been their top prospect the past two years. Of course it probably made it a little easier that [...]

The Yankees got some house cleaning done and tendered contracts to all of their unsigned players including the six that are arbitration eligible. That means Joba Chamberlain (remember him), Phil Hughes, David Robertson, Brett Garnder, Boone Logan and Russel Martin are all back in the fold. None of this was surprise because all of these [...]

Yankees Sign Freddy Garcia
Well, he worked in 2011. The Yankees shored up their rotation by bringing back Freddy Garcia. Any time you can sign someone to a one year deal, it’s worth taking a shot on and the Yankees are looking to pay Garcia between $4 and $5 million in 2012. Garcia was solid in 25 starts and [...]

Get ready for the 2012 MLB season!

It’s never too soon to lock down seats to a baseball game with 2012 MLB tickets, especially [...]

Freddy Garcia Throws Six Shutout Innings
Freddy Garcia improved 12-8 on the season with a really nice start in the Yankees 9-1 blowout win over the Red Sox. The Yankees are in the playoffs, but they could still influence how the playoff picture ends up because they finish up against the Red Sox and Rays. This game was the perfect example [...]

How Much Does Division Race Matter?
Last year, the Yankees and the Rays fought a lackluster division race because both teams had effectively locked up a playoff spot early. This year it’s more of the same. The Yankees sit a win back of the Red Sox, but they have an impressive 8 1/2 game lead for the Wild Card. I don’t [...]

Yankees Settle Into Two Team Race With Red Sox
Those pesky Red Sox. They did make some nice moves this off season and you knew they were going to bounce back. Still, the Yankees despite all of their troubles this year, have stuck with the Red Sox and they’re just two games back and they have a nice lead in the Wild Card. So [...]

Yankees Keep Up With Red Sox With Second Straight Win
The Yankees dispatched the Rockies for the second straight day and they needed it just to keep up with the Red Sox as the two of them sit atop the standings. The Yanks went down early 3-0 but they bounced back and got some solid relief pitching in this one. Ivan Nova struggled and he [...]

Yankees Have Some Work To Do
The good news is, the Yankees are in first place. The bad news is, they’re tied for first and they’re only 3 1/2 games ahead of the last place Blue Jays. This is going to be a tough run and while you’ll probably see some of these teams drop off, the Red Sox are back [...]

Yankees Rule the Roost
Alright, we’re in the closing days of the first month of the season and the Yankees are the only team in the division with a winning record. 12-6 isn’t that shabby and even better, the Yankees are getting it done within the division with a 6-3 record in the AL East. Chicks dig the longball [...]

YANKEES PREVIEW 2 – PITCHING
What up New York? Come on in…don’t be shy. Why don’t we sit down with a nice glass of brandy, some stogies and talk Yankees pitching? Yeah? Super-duper. STARTERS: 1. C C Sabathia. 2010 stats: 3.18 ERA, 21-7, 1.19 WHIP. Brief: Big fella is a horse. He’s extremely durable and wins lots and lots and [...]

YANKEES SEASON PREVIEW
Did you ever see the movie, “Catch Me if You Can”? It stars Leo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks and is directed by Steven Spielberg. For all intents and purposes it’s a highly enjoyable flick. There’s a line in it, however, that I feel compelled to write about. In the movie, Leo asks, “You know why [...]

Yankees Sign Rafael Soriano
The Yankees shored up their pen and found a nice number two guy to complement Mariano Rivera when they signed Rafael Soriano to a three, $35 million deal. That’s a lot of money to pay a setup guy but the Yankees also need some insurance with Rivera’s age becoming more and more of a factor. [...]

Yankees Lose Out on Lee
Well, this was a kick in the you know what. Cliff Lee signed at a discount with the Phillies. You wonder if this is some kind of curse of George or something. I have full faith and confidence in the current ownership, but you wonder if George would have let this one slide like this. [...]

ALCS Here We Come
Alright, it’s go time. The Yankees are well rested and ready to take care of business against a tired and worn down Texas Rangers team. What’s up with Cliff Lee and his whining? I bet Andy Pettitte, who’s coming off his injury, would drool at the chance of pitching on short rest if he knew [...]

Yankees Cruise Into ALCS After Sweep of Twins
The Yankees are in the final four again. The Yankees got some solid pitching and it just looks like they have the Twins number when it comes to October baseball. After a disappointing season, Curtis Granderson made up for things by having a monster series. He went five for eleven with a double and a [...]

Yankees Begin Playoff Run On Wednesday
The Yankees didn’t snatch the division title so that just means we get to take care of the Twins earlier then we thought. Since 2003, the Twins have been in the playoffs four times and in two of those times, the Yankees took care of them in the LDS. Looks like we’re going to make [...]

Yankees get rings and win vs Angels, by Mike Butler
The New York Yankees received their World Series rings prior to the home opener against the Los Angeles Angels wednesday afternoon. The loudest applause probably came when former Yankee and current Angel Hedeki Matzui claimed his ring, after being named World Series MVP for the Bronx Bombers.
The Joke was on Godzilla though, as the [...]

Granderson is Making his Presence Felt as a Yankee, by Mike Butler
When the Yankees acquired Curtis Granderson, they understood they were adding another young, powerful left handed bat to their already stacked line-up, but Granderson could be much, much more for a team looking to win a second straight World Series. Granderson hit is second home run in the opening series against the Red Sox, [...]

Bullpen struggles in opening night shootout, by Mike Butler
The Yankee bats earned them an early lead against the Red Sox on opening night, as veteran catcher Jorge Posada started off the scoring with a solo home run. Newly acquired Curtis Granderson made his presence felt, hitting a home run in his first at-bat in pinstripes.
New York extended their lead to 5-1, when [...]

Yankees Hold to Beat Twins
Those pesky Red Sox won again last night so the Yankees are still sitting on their one game deficit. Still, at 50 wins, the Yankees are in the drivers seat (4 1/2 game lead) for the Wild Card and while that would be the backup plan, it’d still be nice to pass up the Red [...]

Yankees Comeback Falls Short In Loss to Jays
Those pesky Blue Jays knocked the Yankees down a notch today in a game where Andy Pettitte was roughed up. The Yankees were down as much as 7-1 but they scored five unanswered runs to make it tight but they couldn’t quite pull this one out.
Pettitte gave up six runs in six innings before yielding [...]

Yankees Win Seventh Straight
This is the kind of roll I like. The Mariners have been in town for two games and they’ve lost them both, and that’s pushed the Yankees winning streak to seven. One more tomorow and it’s a nice little sweep. And it was another nice start by Andy Pettitte. He’s going to be hard pressed [...]
