How Does This Man Keep His Job?
Posted on 21 May 2012 by Brendan Sennott.
The New York Yankees are scuffling. They have lost 6 of their past 8 game and have found every way possible to lose a ballgame in that stretch. Sunday it was an old reliable in ace C.C. Sabathia that managed to turn what should have been a solid win into another gut wrenching loss. Sabathia was dealing a shutout through 6 innings against the overrated Cincinnati Reds. Raul Ibanez stroked...

The Things I Like About the 2012 Yankees
Posted on 14 May 2012 by Brendan Sennott.
I am like 100 George Steinbrenners. Yankee wins are a relief to me and losses really tick me off. As you can tell from this blog I am quite pessimistic when it comes to the Yankees. I am all about the championship or bust mantra “Big Stein” put into place when he bought the Yankees in 1973. I have no patience for mediocrity, especially when I pay Yankee prices for tickets, m...

No Mo, but Andy’s Handy
Posted on 11 May 2012 by Stephanie Geosits.
First off, apologies for being on hiatus but it's not like we missed much – the Yankees are a second-to last place team (thank you, Red Sox!). Seriously, though…without further ado, uninterrupted coverage of the 2012 season commences NOW! Mo tore his ACL shagging flyballs during BP in Kansas City. Let's face it folks, that's probably the only way the Royals could have taken him out,...

What is This Team?
Posted on 6 May 2012 by Brendan Sennott.
Hall of Fame Manager Sparky Anderson used to say that he knew what kind of ballclub he had after the 40 game mark. After another lack luster defeat in Kansas City to the Royals(5 to 1) lastnight the New York Yankees have played 27 games and are just 14-13. That is disgusting based on the talent and payroll of this squad. Is this team that is loaded with talent simply slumping or ...

Mo is Coming Back
Posted on 4 May 2012 by Brendan Sennott.
It has been a whirlwind 24 hours in the Yankee Universe. Prior to last night’s game and subsequent loss to the Kansas City Royals Yankees closer Mariano Rivera tore both his anterior cruciate ligament and the meniscus in his right knee. The freak accident that immediately ended Rivera’s season made national headlines as it had been widely speculated that Rivera would retire at years end....

Time For Garcia to Go
Posted on 28 Apr 2012 by Brendan Sennott.
The Yankees lost to the Tigers 7 to 5 on Saturday bringing their record to 11-9. One night after beating the reigning Cy Young and M.V.P. winner in the American League in Justin Verlander the Yankees were mystified by rookie Drew Smyly. The left-handed Smyly threw 6 innings of 2 hit 1 run ball while striking out 7 and walking just 2. The young lefty was the least of the Yankees problems...

Pineda Trade Looking Like An Epic Fail
Posted on 21 Apr 2012 by Brendan Sennott.
The January blockbuster trade between the Yankees and Mariners that sent top hitting prospect Jesus Montero and righthander Hector Noesi from New York to Seattle for righties Michael Pineda and Jose Campos is looking like a huge loss for the Bombers. Pineda struggled all spring to find the power fastball he displayed last year in Seattle where he consistently threw 96 to 97 mph. He was shu...

Oh Captain
Posted on 17 Apr 2012 by Stephanie Geosits.
Never mind teaching an old dog new tricks. Derek Jeter is up to his old ones. The soon to be 38-year-old Yankees shortstop is leading the Bombers regulars in hits (17), batting average (.378) and slugging percentage (.667). He's tied for the most doubles (four) and homers (three). So the news of his demise might have been greatly exaggerated. Last season he hit 24 doubles and six home runs all ...

Yanks Have Hughes Problem with Phil
Posted on 14 Apr 2012 by Brendan Sennott.
The Yankees saw their modest 4 game winning streak come to an end this afternoon losing to the Angels 7 to 1 at the Stadium. The loss put them at 4-4 through their first 8 games. Not bad considering they have not hit in the clutch and have just 2 quality starts from their rotation in those 8 games. April is all about keeping your head above water in terms of the standings as your ball clu...

Swept, A Sweep, and Heading for Home
Posted on 12 Apr 2012 by Stephanie Geosits.
After a fairly atrocious start in which the Yankees were swept by the Rays in a three-game set in Tampa, they rebounded by returning the favor to Buck Showalter's Orioles. With an even .500 record, New York returns to the Bronx for the 2012 home opener on Friday. The usual pomp and circumstance will be on tap, and Jorge Posada will have the honor of throwing out the first pitch. Hiroki Kuroda...

Yanks Show Warts Early
Posted on 7 Apr 2012 by Brendan Sennott.
The Yankees opened the 2012 season with a bad taste in their respective mouths. In 2011 they won the American League East by winning 97 games – then lost to Detroit in 5 ALDS games - looking inept while bowing out. In the off season the pitching staff was improved with the additions of Hiroki Kuroda and Michael Pineda and the subtraction of AJ Burnett. Raul Ibanez was signed to re...

Don’t Panic Pinstripes Faithful
Posted on 7 Apr 2012 by Stephanie Geosits.
And we're back, after a relatively uneventful off-season (in Yankees' terms). And what happened on Opening Day? The Yankees LOST?! to Tampa with Mo on the mound. How improbable? Not really. The Bombers are old – relatively speaking of course. According to ESPN, the Yankees are the grampies of baseball, averaging out at 31.1 years for their roster. They are followed, interestingly enough, ...
