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...

Your Move, Ruben
Posted on 28 Dec 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The final week of the calendar year is typically one of the quietest weeks on the baseball calendar. At this point in the offseason, many of the marquee free agents have been signed and the waiting game for Ego Salary Requests vs. Budgetary Constraints has begun (see “JIMMY ROLLINS). General Managers and most front office denizens generally take Week 52 as a good time for rest and relaxat...

Here Come the Yankees! There Went the Sox!
Posted on 30 Sep 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
I'm not sure everyone is fully recovered from the shock of Wednesday night's season-ender, but alas the playoffs start today. First off, congratulations to the Rays, who hung in there and never gave up. Secondly, if the Red Sox and the Nation blame anyone but the team for that collapse they should be ashamed. Now, onto the ALDS, where the Yankees take on the one man show named Justin Verlander...

Yankees or Red Sox: Who Wins the AL East
Posted on 10 Aug 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
This week on our PSB Baseball radio show I spoke with Brenda Sepanak (Red Sox Writer) and Stephanie Geosits (Yankees Writer) to discuss their recent three game series and what each team must do to win the division. http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/audioPop.jsp?episodeId=521659&cmd=apop

Angels get bronxed bombed by the Yankees
Posted on 5 Jun 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
I think we can admit that Mike Scioscia is one of the best, if not the best, Manager in the game. He was also a top catcher in his time. His offensive heroics in the 88 playoffs vs. the Mets will be a vivid memory of mine. Mainly, though, I remember him taking some shots while blocking the plate for the Dodgers. I can't count the times he was knocked silly by a freight train disguised as a base...

Tuesday Choke Job Quashes Jays’ Hopes for Bronx Success
Posted on 26 May 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened Momentum gained from an inspired series opener couldn’t carry the Blue Jays (24-25) much further, as a bullpen collapse sent the club reeling and saw them wind up with a 2-1 series loss at the hands of the Yankees. Despite exceptional starts from Carlos Villanueva and Ricky Romero, the Jays fell below .500 and continued their puzzling ‘win the first, lose the rest’ trend tha...

0-fer Jorge’s Sake
Posted on 16 May 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
The veteran Yankee catcher-turned-DH's ask out of the lineup on Saturday did little to detract from the fact that the Bombers got swept by the Red Sox in a three-game set over the weekend. Tampa Bay now leads the AL East, and New York, by two games with Boston one game behind. Jorge Posada's decline this season has been painful to watch and even worse for a proud athlete to endure. His average ...

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...

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...

Opening Day: The 2nd Biggest Story in the Bronx
Posted on 31 Mar 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
With apologies to the cobra who is on the lam, we'll focus on the Yankees' season opener against the Tigers in the 10451. What surprises will this series hold, other than the weather? Probably nothing too earth-shattering. The Bombers send CC to the mound to face Justin Verlander this afternoon. Anyone going to the game should wear layers as a wintry mix of weather is in store. Absent this year...

Jeter Jitters
Posted on 24 Nov 2010 by Stephanie Geosits.
So it's come to this – that awkward point in a relationship when you have to decide if you really will be together forever or try to amicably extricate your lives after more than a decade of history. Let's not kid ourselves. It hurts, AND it's messy. Hopefully for the Yankees and Jeter, it doesn't drag out. In all honesty, they need each other. Derek Jeter can only retain his title of Kin...

To B Squad or Not to B Squad?
Posted on 29 Sep 2010 by Stephanie Geosits.
Cheap champagne flowed in Toronto Tuesday night after the Yankees secured a spot in the post-season. Along with bad Canadian beer, the low-rate bubbly marked a milestone a few of the Bombers had not yet achieved, but in true fashion, New York is saving the good stuff for when it really counts. Joe Girardi is now faced with a dilemma. Do you play your starters in the last four games and shoot fo...
