A.J., not O.K. with M.O. V.E. to L.A. (A)
Posted on 17 Feb 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
Spring training has arrived! For the Angels, pitchers and catchers report on the 19th. This is going to be one of the more anticipated springs in Tempe in a long time. Adding Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson will do that to a team. From what I heard, the Angels almost added a #5 starter by the name of A.J. Burnett. Burnett, who has been actively shopped by the Yankees, was reportedly coming to th...

So Who Goes to the Pen?
Posted on 5 Sep 2011 by Brendan Sennott.
The Yankees beat the Orioles in a sloppy Labor Day affair at Yankee Stadium 11-10. A win is a win as they say and the Bombers have now won 5 straight. They are 2.5 games up on the Red Sox for first place in the American League East. The magic number to clinch a playoff spot is down to 14. Jesus Montero has burst onto the scene hitting his first 2 big league homers while Jorge Posada is...

No More A.J., Please?
Posted on 28 Aug 2011 by Brendan Sennott.
I was scheduled to travel to Baltimore this weekend to see the Yankees and Orioles play a double header Saturday at Camden Yards. Hurricane Irene saw to it that the trip would not happen, as both games were cancelled along with my flights. Unfortunately Irene will wreak havoc on the Yankees schedule for the next few weeks forcing them to stick with a 6 man starting rotation for the...

Checkmate. Angels play the Rook, Yankees take the (K) night.
Posted on 10 Aug 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
From, “WHAT A GAME to what a game” in just 2 nights. Tuesday, the Angels did something not seen very much. They beat Mariano Rivera. Well, Bobby Abreu did. Abreu, who has been putrid the last month, must love playing his former team. 2 home runs for the Halo DH, including the game winner. Abreu, who hit .179 in July, and .053 so far in August, was the last man that I thought would b...

It’s Gettin’ Hot in Here
Posted on 11 May 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
The heat is on in Yankee Universe. Tampa Bay continues to breathe down the Bombers' necks and sits just one game out of first. The good news is, however, that New York's bats have begun to shake off the spring sluggishness as we head into summer. Derek Jeter and A-Rod finally seem to be turning things around at the plate, but it's not like any of the regulars have been hitting the cover off the...

Bombers Motor to Detroit Atop AL East
Posted on 2 May 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
The Yankees took the rubber match of a three-game set against the Jays behind the pitching of Ivan Nova to cap the weekend. Monday they take on the Tigers for the first of four games in the Motor City. The Bombers are maintaining their 2.5-game lead over the Rays in the standings and are relying on some unknown names to keep them there. Nova upped his record to 2-2 on Sunday, and Bartolo Colon ...

Top Dog Bombers Visit 2nd Place Jays
Posted on 18 Apr 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
Who's an underdog now? After taking two of three hard-fought games from the Rangers in the Bronx, the Yankees sit atop the AL East with a 9-5 record, 3.0 games ahead of the Blue Jays, their hosts Tuesday and Wednesday. For those in Red Sox Nation not keeping track, Boston improved to 5-10 (still good enough for last place) on Monday afternoon with a trouncing of Toronto. Eric Chavez played th...

Uh-O! Much-Improved Baltimore Visits Bronx
Posted on 11 Apr 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
The first-place Orioles (yes, that's correct) will face off against the Yankees in a three-game set this week. The Bombers dropped two games in Boston this past weekend and exposed a few glaring problems. Nonetheless, New York and Toronto remain tied for second in the AL East at 5-4, one game behind Baltimore. Buck Showalter has continued to work his magic with the O's, after starting to right ...

Evil Empire Invades Weakend ‘Nation’
Posted on 8 Apr 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
You almost feel sorry for them – those die-hard Sox fans who were intent on recapturing post-season glory. All the smack talk during the off-season about how they were going to ride pitching excellence all the way until October. And here they sit at 0-6, off to their worst start since 1945. Sigh… Meanwhile, back at the Death Star in the 10451, the Yankees have played well enough to ...

Not Enough Power to Sweep
Posted on 4 Apr 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
The Yankees came out of the gate with bats on fire and took two of three from Detroit. Mark Teixeira had three dingers in the three games, and Jorge Posada homered twice yesterday in powering the Bombers' offense to score 23 runs in the first series of the season. Tex has seven RBI to boot. CC Sabathia had a decent opening day start, but Joba got the win in relief as the Yankees rallied again...

Phillies 2010 Good Season, Bad Ending
Posted on 26 Oct 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
The 2010 season has ended for the Phillies. It ended badly. It ended abruptly. We still are processing the details of how and why it ended and likely will continue to process these emotions throughout the offseason. Hope springs eternal and the familiar mantra of “there's always next year” has already been declared – be it right or wrong. As with anything in Life, it is bene...

Tough Road Ahead: SU-WVU Preview
Posted on 20 Oct 2010 by Beth Ann Clyde.
The bad news: After a sobering 45-14 loss to Pittsburgh last weekend, Syracuse must travel to Morgantown to face the toast of the Big East, #20/20 West Virginia. The good news: For the second week in a row, no one in Orange got injured. I’m not sure if this is good news or bad news, but this means the same guys that were on the field against Pitt and USF will be back for Saturday’s matchu...
