The Yankees scored in the typical fashion of the long ball with home runs from Andruw Jones and Curtis Granderson but the Red Sox used the home run ball tonight too. Home runs by Kevin Youkilis, David Ortiz, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia put the game out of reach. Two feel-good moments took place for those in [...]

Time for a Line-Up change.
May 15, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I don’t care what the temp. is, Mike. Granderson is 2nd in The Major Leagues with 12 home runs and leads the (regulars) Yankees in hitting but has only 26 RBI’s. Considering he’s usually batting 2nd in the line-up behind Jetes does this say anythings about The Captain? I think its time to make a [...]
Game 37: Nothing Working For Yankees
May 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Everything appeared to go wrong for the Yankees tonight. CC Sabathia didn’t have his best stuff as he went 6.2 innings and gave up 6 runs. Beckett on the other hand, was absolutely dominant against the Yankees yet again. He struck out 9 Yankees over 6 innings without allowing a run. The Yankees only managed [...]
Game 36: Youkilis Makes The Difference
May 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Bartolo Colon pitched 6 effective innings but is tagged with the loss tonight as he started a three-game series with the rival Boston Red Sox. In the end, the two-run home run surrendered by Joba Chamberlain to Kevin Youkilis in the 7th proved to be the difference. Russell Martin continued flexing his muscles amidst his [...]

The Captain Come to Life
May 11, 2011 By Leave a Comment
The reports of his demise have been greatly exagerated. First, there have been complaints for years about Derek Jeter’s range at shortstop. Many have crie dfor him to be shifted to the outfield. Eduardo Nunez is supposed to be the heir apparent, but struggled mightily in the field when he started in Detroit to give [...]

Game 33: The Melkman Returns In Losing Effort
May 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment
The fan favorite, and a personal favorite of mine, Melky Cabrera, returned tonight with the visiting Kansas City Royals. He made the most of his return with a no-doubt home run to centerfield to provide the only offense for the Royals. Freddy Garcia appeared shaky in the first inning but settled down and effectively went [...]

Soriano: Good News
May 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Rafael Soriano hasn’t surrendered a run in four straight relief appearances. It might not sound like much, but Soriano began the season in an awful rut and now appears to be climbing out. His ERA was 9.53 on April 16 and now sits at a more comfortable 5.79. He also has nine holds on [...]
Fading Star

To watch any player day in and day out, it’s hard to fully appreciate their contribution to the team as the season progresses. As fans, we’re often more vocal for the player that’s not pulling their weight than we are for the players that are producing at or above expectations. For the past 16 [...]

The Reason Why the 2011 Yankees Will Contend: The Best Diamond in Baseball
May 8, 2011 By 1 Comment
When you start to reflect on the season to this point; you have to start wondering how the Yankees are managing to hang in there and still lead the East. Our batting average as a team is pathetic; our baserunning is almost on par with a 9 year old Little League team and our bull [...]
Game 31: Young Splits Series
May 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Bartolo Colon finally has his poor outing as he surrenders two home runs in hitter-friendly Rangers Stadium to the powerful lineup of the Texas Rangers. The Yankees lineup rallied to come from 5-0 to tie it, highlighted by a 3-run triple by Robinson Cano. Unfortunately, the left arms of Arthur Rhodes and Darren Oliver and [...]
Game 30: Nova Like A Star
May 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment
The fastball and curveball of Ivan Nova helped him pitch a new career-high of 7.1 innings as he held the Texas lineup down, literally. 16 of the 19 outs were on the ground spread throughout the infield. Ironic that the last time the Yankees faced Texas pitcher Matt Harrison, he got them to hit into [...]
