What a month it's been. The Yanks throw all that money at C.C. and A.J., then fill the void at first with the all-around Texeira for an eye-popping $180 million. Plus Wang gets a 1-year deal for a measly $5 million. Can Hank & Hal value anyone properly?

Well, now that the Yanks completely overpaid for the husky Sabathia, they turn their attention to overpaying for Lowe and Burnett. Should be a nice Christmas for a slew of free agents this year.

Hank Steinbrenner just wants to tell everyone the Yanks' plans. They're pursuing Sabathia, Lowe, and Burnett, and he makes sure everyone knows about it. Good way to hide your hand, Hank.

The Phillies finally won Game 5 and are the new champs. Met fans are feeling the salt in the wounds as we speak. Maddon made some questionable moves and non-moves in tonight's three and a half innings and the post-season. First, he could've brought in a lefty to face Geoff...

Once again, the Red Sox force a Game 7. This has gone to the point of insanity. The third time in five years? C'mon, this team is beatable. Plus, I don't trust the Phillies to take the World Series. Their perfect bullpen is due for some blown games. I don't know how the...

The Red Sox are once again down 3-1 in the ALCS and the Rays have crushed them two straight in their own park. While it doesn't look good for Boston, I won't start celebrating just yet. They've proven they can come back, though it'll be especially tough without Manny...

Well, at least Moose got his 20th win. This was a disappointing year, but shooting for number 20 made Sunday's first game watchable.If he wants to play for the Yanks next year, great. I'll take a 20-game winner back.Watching the Mets throw away a playoff spot almost exactly...

A sad day for Yankee fans. Our beloved stadium of 85 years will see it's last game tonight. ESPN has all day coverage, complete with countdown to the final contest. Doors opened at 1 PM and fans are allowed on the warning track.It feels like a funeral is going on. Everyone is sharing...

Jeter tied Lou Gehrig for hits all-time at Yankee Stadium and more than likely will break it sometime this week. The Yanks managed to win today, 8-4, though it was a long and drama-free game with nothing for the team to play for. Jeter's pursuit of the record made it something...
Playoff Contenders Don't Lose 2 out of 3 to Seattle

Good thing it's football season, because the Yanks' is all but over. They lost today to the lowly Mariners and gave back the game they gained yesterday in the wild card race.They're done, unless the league designates a fifth playoff spot just for the Yankees.

The Yanks' chances of making the playoffs look pretty slim at this point. Not that they look like a team that deserves to play in October. There have been too many games, like yesterday's, where at this time in the season the team should be winning. Playoff contenders pull...

Wow, the Yanks swept a series. They blew a five run lead, but managed to take the final game thanks to Robbie Cano's go-ahead homer.Now if they can just sweep the twelve games left against Boston and Tampa they might even make the playoffs.The Carl Pavano health watch has begun...

The Yanks are losing a lot of close games and it's killing their playoff chances. Tonight they lose 2-1 in Toronto, while Boston and Tampa won. Most of their games left are against tough opponents (including Anaheim, unfortunately), and they don't have it together.Wake up!

After their awful 3-7 road trip, a lot of people are counting the Yankees out. Are they? No, but they can't keep playing this way, and it feels like every starter is destined to go down with an injury. They've even got Victor Zambrano in their minor league system now, so they...
Manny Goes to Hollywood

I can't believe they finally did it. The Red Sox actually traded Manny to the Dodgers in a three-way deal that landed them Jason Bay from the Pirates, who in turn got Adam LaRoche and some minor leaguers. (I've come to the conclusion here that Pittsburgh does not want to ever...

Adios, Farnsy!The Yanks swapped Kyle Farnsworth for Pudge Rodriguez today, responding to Jorge's injury and getting rid of a guy who throws hard. Though he was showing improvement this year, I don't think anyone was comfortable when Farnsworth came into a game. In return, the...

With 2 out and the tying run on second n the 9th, Girardi lets Bettemit hit for himself? The result is obvious - he makes out. Should've sent up Sexson.This streakiness is all too familiar. They win 8 straight, then lose one and it's no biggie. However, the slide continues...

So far, so good for Marte. He struck out Ortiz on three pitches with two on at a crucial point in the game before the Yanks widened their lead, which is never big enough at Fenway.This bullpen is loaded even without Joba.

Real nice pickups for the Yanks here. They finally get a lefty for the bullpen and another right-handed bat. All for Ohlendorf and 3 prospects. The bullpen and bench both benefit. Though he was speedy, Brett Gardner wasn't cutting it with his .150 average. Also, the Yanks blanked...

The Yanks picked up Richie Sexson, but luckily will not be paying most of his salary, leaving that to Seattle. However, Sexson has been awful the past two seasons, so unless the change of scenery does him good, A-Rod will have competition as to how many runners he can leave on base...

Took me a while to post about the All-Star Game, but it just ended! Yeah, er, anyway...the AL was looking just like the Yanks for a while with all their squandered chances to win. Even Dan Uggla's 3 errors couldn't give them the game, though he obviously tried. He was definitely...

Josh Hamilton hit 28 homers in the first round of the home run derby at the Stadium tonight and still lost in the final round to Justin Morneau. I'm sure Tom Brady knows just how he feels.It was cool seeing the derby at my team's home park for a change, though it did seem a...

A sad day in Yankeeland: Bobby Murcer has lossed his battle with brain cancer. The news was announced right after the Yanks' 9-4 victory in Toronto. He was just 62.I'm too young to have watched Bobby during his playing days, but I always enjoyed hearing him on TV calling games...
