Ladies and gentlemen, meet your 2009 American League Champions, the New York Yankees:After the Yankees won the ALCS last night 4 games to 2, it was pretty clear that these are not your 2004 "choke's on us" Yankees. Actually it was clear before that, but for Yankee fans...

Last night the Yankees played their last game at Angel Stadium for the year 2009. The West Coast Chamber of Horrors has been closed down until next season (as far as the Yankees are concernesd. It remains to be seen whether the Phillies will set foot inside.). With the exceptions...

CC Sabathia, with help from Alex Rodriguez, has put the Yankees up 3-1 in the ALCS, one win away from the World Series. This is so exciting! It's exciting not only because he'd pitch in the Fall Classic, but there's a chance he could hit a home run. He could do it. He has...

The man's got guts. That's for sure. Joe Girardi has at least that going for him. Yesterday, Girardi removed a perfect David Robertson with two out in the 11th inning in favor of Alfredo Aceves. We all know what happened after that. The Yankees got beaten at their own...

Thanks, in part, to miscues by the thought-to-be fundamentally-sound Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, the Yankees head to Anaheim up 2-0 in the 2009 ALCS. Andy Pettitte will be on the mound, trying to give his team a commanding 3-0 lead. If they win, I hope they'll be no fooling...

I heard a broadcaster say that the actual phrase "walk-off win" is attributed to Dennis Eckersley. Eckersley called the pitch he threw to Kirk Gibson, which led to that famous homerun, his walk-off pitch. He called it that because, he said, "After I throw it, I walk...

After an almost excruciatingly long lay-off, the ALCS will finally begin tomorrow night at Yankee Stadium, weather permitting. The coming rain storm will likely lengthen what was already being thought of as a long series. The schedule-makers will have their hands full trying to reschedule...

Rush Limbaugh has been dropped from a group of investors seeking to buy an NFL franchise. When I first learned that he was part of this group I wasn't sure what to think. I'm not much of a football fan, so it was hard for me to form an opinion on the matter. But then I started...

On Saturday I heard a radio talkshow host joke that, in his upcoming ALDS start, Carl Pavano might finally help the Yankees in their quest to win a championship.He was right!Well, not exactly. Carl Pavano pitched very well against his former team, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits and striking...

I had to work last night so I relied on my Blackberry to find out what was happening in Game 2 of the ALDS. When I checked it shortly after 9:00 PM the Yankees were trailing 3-1 in the bottom of the 8th. I checked again, shortly after 9:30 and it was tied at 3 in the bottom of the...

Going into last night's game against the Twins, Alex Rodriguez could not get a hit with runners in scoring position if his life depended on it. After his second at-bat you could hear the boo birds coming to life, but he silenced them the third time he came to the plate, hitting...

After an aching shoulder forced him to miss a start, Andy Pettitte returned to the mound and pitched decently against the Angels of Anaheim last night. The Yankees lost the game but Pettitte gave Yankees Universe some hope that the rotation can help take the team deep into the playoffs...

The walk-off was the win of choice last night around MLB. Not only did the Yankees get their 14th walk-off win of the season, but several other teams, including the Red Sox, also won in dramatic, final at-bat fashion.The Red Sox win, against the Angels, was a basically a gift, and...

Most are speculating this morning that Jorge Posada will be suspended five games for his actions during last night's game against the Blue Jays. That will be five days during which he will not even be allowed on the field, let alone play in a game.It is late in the baseball season...

Derek Jeter's in-game press conference turned out to be a good idea. The Yankees lost the game so no one had to be subjected to "Bottom line, I just wanna win." (See my previous post.)The Yankees lost the game but Jeter won and, for the second game in a row it was a pleasure...

My heartfelt thanks go out to Jorge Posada this morning. Without his game-winning home run last night, the Yankees might have lost, and, had they lost, all we would have heard from Derek Jeter regarding catching Lou Gehrig was the following:"Bottom line, I just wanna win."...
