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

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, ...

Good as New
Posted on 29 Feb 2012 by Andrew Whalen.
Alex Rodriguez reported to Yankees camp on Saturday in Tampa feeling as good as he had in years. One other athlete had something to do with that, but which athlete helped him feel this good? Rodriguez has been on a decline since his MVP season in 2007, there’s no doubt about it. After 2007, his HR’s have dropped from 54(07) to 35(08) to 30(09+10) down to just 16 in 2011, going along with a ...

Too Much Pitching?
Posted on 27 Feb 2012 by Andrew Whalen.
Pitchers and catchers reported to George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, FL, last Saturday to kick off spring training for the New York Yankees, who look to capture their 28th World Championship in franchise history. The big question heading into spring training this year for the Yankees is who is going to be in their starting rotation. After last year, in which their rotation and bullpen were...

Frauds
Posted on 8 Oct 2011 by Brendan Sennott.
Most times I love when I am right, but not in the case of the 2011 New York Yankees. I hate that I was dead on in my assessment of this team. As we all know the Yankees were eliminated by the inferior Detroit Tigers in game 5 of the ALDS. I said all year they were going to lose in the first round of the playoffs, and sure enough they did. The thing that plagued the Yankees all year was ...

Yes, Yogi, It’s Over
Posted on 7 Oct 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
Game 5 of the ALDS did not turn out as the Yankees or their fans had hoped or expected, but when you leave 11 men stranded and can only score on a solo homer and a bases-loaded walk, you probably don't deserve to win anyway. Post-season magic was nowhere to be found in the Bronx as the Tigers defeated New York 3-2. The Yankees out-hit Detroit 10 to eight but certainly not when it mattered. Ivan...

Yanks Take Game 1
Posted on 2 Oct 2011 by Brendan Sennott.
The Yankees have drawn first blood in their American League Division series against Detroit thanks to Robinson Cano’s 6 R.B.I.’s and the stellar relief work of Ivan Nova. In a game that was suspended by rain on Friday night and eliminated aces CC Sabathia and Justin Verlander from the equation, Cano played the role of dominant superstar with 2 huge doubles and a grand slam inNew Yorks' 9-...
