The Yankees have announced that Chien-Ming Wang will remain in the Yankees rotation and make another start, next week against the Washington Nationals. Opinions differ on this decision. Some want him in the rotation, some want him out of it. I want him in the rotation. Here's why...

These are no longer Joe Torre's Yankees. I hope Derek Jeter knows that now. He scored on Mark Teixeira's 4th-inning take-out play during last night's game against the Texas Rangers, and after he crossed the plate he looked back at 2nd base with a look of utter surprise...

AJ Burnett hasn't won a game in seven starts. He says he knows why and he'll be able to fix it when he goes to the mound tonight against the Texas Rangers. If he doesn't, I think it'll be time for a pinch pie-thrower.During those seven winless starts Burnett began...
