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...

Trade Winds Blow Past Bombers
Posted on 3 Aug 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
The surprising news out of the Bronx at the trade deadline was that there was no news. Brian Cashman sat back and didn't make any moves. I think this was a smart decision. The Yankees are in a good position to make the post-season, although they currently trail Boston by a game. They are very protective of their minor league talent, and, let's be honest, no one on the market was that attractiv...

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...

So Close, but Yet So Far
Posted on 23 Jun 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
Derek Jeter sits six hits from 3,000, however, he also resides on the Yankees' 14-day DL. His team is just .5 games behind Boston in the AL East, however, if the Red Sox' recent clobbering of the Bombers is any indication, New York really needs to step it up. That's going to be hard considering that arguably their best pitcher and definitely their most pleasant surprise this year, Bartolo Col...

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 ...

New Colon Smells Like Winning
Posted on 21 Apr 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
The Yankees turned to Bartolo Colon on Wednesday night to make a spot start in Toronto in place of the ailing Phil Hughes and hoped that the old dog remembered all his tricks. He surprised everyone, including himself, earning his first win in almost two years, after sitting out the entire 2010 season. The veteran righty made it through 6 2/3 innings and struck out seven in allowing two earned r...

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 ...

Bombers’ Arms Race a No-Brainer
Posted on 24 Mar 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
The few questions Joe Girardi needed answered this spring are pretty much decided, particularly when it comes to his pitching staff. Everyone knew going in that Rivera would be the closer, CC is the ace, and Hughes and Burnett would follow. After that, well, the Yankees would have to see. Rivera has been stellar (he's allowed one hit in four innings and struck out five), and Sabathia (3.31 ERA...

Rangers punch ticket to World Series
Posted on 23 Oct 2010 by George Kouvalis.
Finally off the “teams that have never appeared in a World Series list” The Texas Rangers made it official on Friday night with another convincing 6-1 win over the New York Yankees to win the ALCS four games to two. The game turned towards the Rangers again in the middle innings with a four run 5th to chase Yankees starter Phil Hughes from the game. Colby Lewis threw a ̶...

Yanks Hope Hughes is Huge
Posted on 22 Oct 2010 by Patrick Blakeslee.
When Phil Hughes woke up this morning he probably already knew that today was the biggest day of his life. If he even slept. Now understand, he’s a young guy, only 24 years old, and I’m sure he’ll go on to have bigger days in his life that will supersede tonight’s Game 6 ALCS matchup between the Yanks and the Rangers. There will be both personal and professional accomplishments and ...
