I’m back!
Hey everyone! I figured I’d bring the blog back with a new season on the horizon. April Fools! But seriously…I have missed keeping up with the blog at times over the last few months. The thing I’ve missed the most, however, was simply interacting with the great...

Year of the Jeter
Derek Jeter became the first Yankee ever to be named Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman of the Year today. Jeter was obviously thrilled by the announcement. “It’s unbelievable. It was completely unexpected. It came out of the blue,” Jeter told The Associated Press during a break in the photo shoot. “When I heard it, what can you say? It’s one of the greatest honors...

Sheppard hangs up the mike
Legendary voice of Yankee Stadium Bob Sheppard told Bryan Hoch today that he plans on retiring. Sheppard, 99, hasn’t called a game since 2007. "I have no plans of coming back," Sheppard said on Wednesday in a telephone interview. "Time has passed me by, I think. I had a good run for it. I enjoyed doing what I did. I don't think, at my age, I'm going...

World Series Film premiere
I caught the premiere of the 2009 World Series Film tonight. No, I wasn’t at the big one at the Ziegfeld in Manhattan, but this was good enough. I thought the film was nicely done and it’s certainly worth the $19.99 MLB.com is charging (but if you’re a savvy Internet shopper, Amazon has it for $14.99). The film had some great behind-the-scenes shots of the...

This is hideous
Political allegiances aside, this Yankees cap is absolutely awful. Spotted by me in the Palisades Center in West Nyack, N.Y.

As expected, Mauer wins MVP
Congratulations go out to Joe Mauer who won the American League MVP award with 27 of the 28 first place votes. The one surprise of the voting was that Miguel Cabrera – who finished fourth overall – received the other first place vote. I’d love to see that writer try to defend that vote. On the Yankees’ front, Mark Teixeira finished second and Derek Jeter...

Guess who’s back
It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Now that I’m on Thanksgiving break, I figured it’s time to try to get back into blogging. I’ve been extremely busy at school and hopefully this break will recharge my batteries. Plus, I reached an agreement with Jeremy that he would stop pestering me to blog if I wrote today. So here we are today. I know I rarely posted...

Despite starting the year 0-8 against their longtime rivals, the Yankees were able to fight back and eventually split the 18-game season series. The Yankees also won their 100th game of the season behind Andy Pettitte’s six innings and Mariano Rivera’s...

Swisher walks off
Nick Swisher joined the long line of Yankees who have had walk-off hits this season. Swisher hit a one-out solo home run to right against Dan Wheeler in the bottom of the ninth to lead the Yankees to a 3-2 victory. They have now reached 90 wins and are 40 games above .500. The home run, his 25th, was Swisher’s second of the game. This was strange because...

A couple of videos
I received two videos in my e-mail yesterday. Since I had a very busy day, I was unable to post them until now. First up, we have a 4-year-old named Zachary who can recite all of the Yankees’ retired numbers. Secondly, the Alex Rodriguez haters in the audience will enjoy this one:

Yanks hit 5 home runs, win 9-6
Jorge Posada hit two home runs and drove in three runs in the Yankees’ 9-6 victory over Baltimore Tuesday night. Robinson Cano, Eric Hinske and Nick Swisher joined in on the home run fun as well. A.J. Burnett did not fare as well, allowing six runs and 11 hits in 5 1/3 innings. He allowed a two-run home run to Felix Pie and a three-run home run Luke Scott. ...

Pettitte nearly perfect, Yanks win 5-1
Andy Pettitte carried a perfect game into the seventh inning Monday night at Camden Yards. However, Jerry Hairston Jr. let a ball go through his legs for an error and Nick Markakis then followed with a single to left to end the no-hit bid. No worries, though, as the Yankees, behind Nick Swisher, won 5-1. Pettitte allowed two hits and one earned run over eight innings...

On Joba
So, last night I was called out by Joe at River Ave. Blues for some tweets I made during yesterday’s game pertaining to the new Joba Chamberlain rules and regulations. Much like Ross, who was actually at yesterday’s game, seeing Chamberlain throw 35 pitches only to be taken out is enough to be frustrated. I think the babying of Chamberlain has gone a bit too far...

Teixeira, bullpen ensure sweep of White Sox
(Originally posted for Baseball Digest) Mark Teixeira drove in four runs and the Yankees bullpen pitched six innings, allowing only one earned run, in the team’s 8-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Teixeira hit a sacrifice fly in the first and then hit a three-run home run in the five-run seventh inning to pass 100 RBI on the season. He has now reached 30...

Fans allowed to bring a bag to the game
The blogger behind The Girl Who Loved Andy Pettitte, also known as @leokitty on Twitter was at last night’s game and reported back some exciting news in terms of Yankee Stadium policy. Fans are now allowed to bring in one bag that cannot be larger than 16” x 16” x 8”, subject to inspection. The Yankee Stadium A-to-Z Guide has been updated to reflect these...

Cano walks off
Robinson Cano hit a walk-off three-run home run in the 10th inning to defeat the Chicago White Sox 5-2 Friday night at Yankee Stadium. The duel between CC Sabathia and Mark Buehrle lived up to the hype for the most part. Sabathia struck out 10 through seven and Buehrle only allowed two solo home runs – from Derek Jeter to lead off the game and Johnny Damon in the third...

However, after two two-out walks, Burnett gave up a three-run home run to Ian Kinsler. After that, the Rangers were well on their way to a 7-2 victory. It wasn’t all Burnett’s fault. ...
