Yanks Back in the Hunt
Posted on 6 Jun 2012 by Stephanie Geosits.
It's hard to believe it, but the Yankees are just half a game out of first in the AL East. After beating Tampa, courtesy of another strong performance by Ivan Nova, the Bombers find themselves trailing only the Orioles. That's right – Baltimore. The Rays are hanging in as a close third, and the Jays are just 2.5 games behind the leaders. Boston is in last – four games back. How did ...

Grandy’s Grand Slam Kills Tigers
Posted on 2 Jun 2012 by Jeremy Klumpp.
The major league debut for Tigers pitcher Casey Crosby (0-1) quickly became a forgettable one after a second inning grand slam by Curtis Granderson. The five runs scored in the second helped propel the Yankees to a 9-4 victory over the Tigers Friday night at Comerica Park. Crosby walked four batters before Granderson emptied the bases with his grand slam to right field giving the Yankees a 5-1...

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 ...

Players Choice Awards: Halladay & Worley Finalists
Posted on 24 Oct 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Roy Halladay and Vance Worley are among the finalists for the Players Choice Awards, as voted by the players before the end of the regular season. These are often predictors for Cy Young Award finalists as well as other individual player awards (MVP, Rookie of Year). Halladay won the outstanding pitcher in the National League last year prior to adding his 2010 NL Cy Young Award. “Doc” is ag...

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...

MVP Award Goes to…
Posted on 26 Sep 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
As the 2011 season draws to a close, most of the playoff teams have staked their claim on a postseason berth. Only the wildcard qualifications have yet to be determined and those will excitingly come down to the final games of the season. Exciting September baseball affords the best non-division winner to overcome divisional deficiencies and still make the postseason. Despite wildcard debates,...

Milestones Achieved And Streaks Halted
Posted on 3 Aug 2011 by "Baseball Brenda" Sepanek.
Bard's Scoreless Inning Streak Comes To An End Before Monday's game against the Cleveland Indians, Terry Francona spoke about Daniel Bard's impressive scoreless streak of 25 games, spanning 26 1/3 innings. He acknowledged the inevitable saying, “he’s going to give up a run at some point.” Little did he know it would happen hours later. Yes, his amazing streak finally came to an end in t...

100 Games Down, A Long Way to Go
Posted on 26 Jul 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
The Yankees sit at an even .600 after drubbing the Mariners in game 100. It's respectable, sure, but it's still not good enough for first place, since the Red Sox have a 2-game lead in the AL East. The Bombers have had some great moments, like Derek Jeter entering the 3,000 hit club on a home run in an absolutely perfect day for him. They've also had some disasters – injury-related and in...

Baseball’s Midseason Awards
Posted on 27 Jun 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
It seems like just yesterday I was typing up my preseason predictions for the upcoming baseball season. It's hard to believe that we are already at the halfway point. Who says that the baseball season is too long? As per usual with baseball, this season is full of unpredictability and surprises. We've seen two no-hitters within one week to make this the year of the pitcher 2.0, a home ...

Hey now, you’re an All-Star
Posted on 3 Jun 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
That's pretty much true if you're a New York Yankee. Six of the nine AL position players leading in the voting hail from the Bronx Bombers. A friend advised me of this earlier in the week with the end note of (loosely translated) “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!” I would have to agree. The entire infield has a familiar look for Yankees fans: Martin, Teixeira, Cano, Rodriguez and Jeter, for...

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 ...

Jays Outclassed by East-Leading Yanks
Posted on 2 May 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened Coming off an inspired four-game set against the Texas Rangers, the Jays (13-15) continued to carry a hot bat and play aggressively, but simply ran into an elite team on a tear in the Bronx Bombers. In a competitive three-game set, Toronto took the opener 5-3, but then lost a narrow 5-4 Saturday contest and were held at bay by Ivan Nova in a 5-2 Sunday loss. A Closer Look Cooper I...
