What do you get when you pit two teams with shaky bullpens but who won’t quit against each other? Another nailbiter of a game which, fortunately for the Yankees, will qualify for Yankees Classics, as the Yanks took Game Four 7-4 with a clutch two-out, 3-run 9th inning. Joe Blanton did all that could be reasonably [...]
Over the past few weeks Girardi has been repeatedly slammed for what has been described as chronic mismanagement, including but not limited to: consistently over-managing; misusing the bullpen; recklessly pinch-running for star players without any consideration for the consequences; and other crimes against humanity. Indeed, a good amount of this criticism has come from this [...]

Game 3 started exactly the way the Phillies needed it to. Cole Hamels set down the Yankees quickly through the first three innings, and the Phils jumped out to a 3-0 lead over Andy Pettitte, threatening in each of the first three innings. The crowd was roaring, and the Yanks were in a real hole. But [...]

The answer: Probably not. Sure, there are certainly other ways the Yanks can win. The Phils could fumble and collapse of their own accord (not likely). The Yankees’ starters could all go 8 innings every start, with Mariano Rivera closing out the 9th (tough, but can be done). Or the Yankees’ offense could just knock the [...]

A proud night indeed – long-awaited, and much-deserved. Andy Pettitte, Mariano Rivera, and the New York Yankees finished off the Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles tonite to win the franchise’s 40th pennant, and advance to the World Series for the first time since 2003 to meet the defending World Champion Philadelphia Phillies. While it’s hard to [...]

The Yankees were predestined to lose tonite. This was true because: 1. The Angels were at home. 2. The Angels had their best pitcher going. 3. The Angels had their backs to the wall. So the series will return to New York, where Game 6 figures to be pivotal. If Pettitte can’t close it out on Saturday, the Yankees [...]

My sons tell me I am too negative about Joe Girardi. They point out that the Yankees are six wins from a World Championship, and that Girardi must receive some credit for this achievment. I must respectfully continue to disagree. If the Yankees win the World Series, it will be in spite of Girardi, not because [...]

The Yankees hold a 2-0 lead over the Angels after winning in 13 innings last night. Although the talking heads are hailing the game as a classic, it was actually a mess. It was played in a downpour, which likely contributed to the sloppy play. Robinson Cano booted two easy ground balls, and Derek Jeter [...]
