C.C. Sabathia officially became a Yankee tonite, holding the Angels to one run over 8 innings in Game 1 to lead the Yanks to a 4-1 victory. While C.C. has pitched well all season, tonite marked a breakthrough performance. As all Yankees fans know, the road to Yankee Greatness is fraught with many perils. A blood-thirsty [...]
For the first time in a very long time, the world is starting to make sense again. Tonite the Yankees beat the Twins 4-1 to complete the three-game sweep and advance to their first ALCS in 5 years. A-Rod continued his heroics with a solo HR, finishing the ALDS batting .455 with 2 HRs and [...]
After weeks of boring, unimportant games the playoffs are finally here. I’m a little mad at Anaheim right now after the Ducks spanked the Bruins 6-1, but I’m very excited about the Sox and their familiar foe, the Angels. The Angels have lost to the Red Sox three out of three times in the ALDS, and [...]
When the season ended for the 2008 Yankees there was one glaring need: Pitching. This was nothing new, and as the old adage went, “you can never have enough.” But the Yankees from 2004 to 2008 never had enough starting pitching to bring a World Series, or even a Pennant, home. The Yankee pitching staff [...]
Oh, the end to the 2009 regular season was heartbreaking. But there were many wonderful accomplishments. I’m going to write down some of those accomplishments: Congratulations to Jair Jurrjens who was named September NL Pitcher of the Month. Garret Anderson got his 2500th hit on 1 October 2009. Go Garret! My favorite Peter Moylan was phenomenal after the [...]
The final baseball game of the 2009 regular season was an absolute gem – perhaps the most exciting game of the season. The Twins overcame a 3-0 deficit to outlast the Tigers 6-5 in 12 innings before the largest crowd in Metrodome history. This was not a great comeback, however, so much as it was [...]
Okay, okay. So I panicked in my last blog. The last couple of years have not been easy. I was afraid to hope. But today it all came together. Victory number 100. The clinching of the American League East title. And against the Red Sox. With a sweep. What could be better? Well, a World Championship would [...]
We’ve got trouble Right here in River City With a capital T And that rhymes with B And that stands for Burnett (With apologies to Meredith Wilson) The Yankees have trouble. Potentially big trouble. As we approach the playoffs, the starting pitching is in disarray. Starting pitching? The strength of the staff? Yup. Sad to say, but the Yankees look weak in [...]
Tonite Derek Jeter broke an 0 for 12 mini-slump with 3 hits (including a bunt base hit) in the Yankees’ 4-2 win over the Rays to tie Lou Gehrig as the all-time Yankees hits leader. Jeter had an opportunity for yet another hit in the bottom of the 8th to overtake Gehrig, but drew a [...]
C.C. Sabathia battled Matt Garza this afternoon in a 4-1 victory that Yankees fans ought to find very reassuring as the playoffs near. A classic pitchers’ battle, both starters went 7 strong innings giving up 1 run each (the run Garza gave up was unearned). But after some strong defense by the Yanks – a [...]
After losing the season series opener in Baltimore, the Yanks continued their rout of the last place Orioles with an easy 5-1 victory on this unseasonably cool night to close out the month of August. The main story of the evening was Andy Pettitte. Pettitte pitched a perfect game for 6 and 2/3rd innings. The perfect [...]
With a month to go in the season, the Red Sox have put together a successful season so far. Considering all the team has had to go through with injuries, inconsistencies, and David Ortiz, adds to the impressive performance. At 76-54 and leading the wild card, the Sox are meeting pre-season expectations—at first glance. However, if David [...]
To quote Rickey Ricardo, would somebody please “splain” to me what the Yankees think they’re doing with Joba Chamberlain? Aside from a short stint immediately following the All-Star game, Joba has been shakey all season. He throws too many pitches, can’t throw strikes when he needs to, and generally can’t get out of the fifth inning. [...]
