For all of you heading out to lower Manhattan today, enjoy the parade. For those of you already pouring water on the fans' excitement -- that includes you, Joel Sherman, for writing anything entitled "Money may keep Yanks off free-agent...

The Christening of Yankee Stadium
...I looked it up-- the definition of christening is "spiritual cleansing and rebirth", and that seems appropriate to me right now.  Yankee Stadium has been open for business since April 3, 2009 (the weekend series against Lou Piniella's Chicago Cubs),...

Yanks need to hit tonight
With Pedro Martinez back on the hill for the Phillies tonight, the Yankees need to score runs. The stories reflect this today, most notably about Mark Teixeira. Tex is 2-for-19 in the World Series, and took extra batting practice to...

Game 5 Initial Reactions
A valiant comeback attempt, but just too big of a disparity to make up.  Coming away with 2 of 3 in Philadelphia is still a very good thing and the way the Yankees came back tonight should chip into some...

A Flawed Rule
Steve and Aziz have recaps of Game 4 well covered, so no need to supplement here.  Instead, I want to focus on one thing that last night's game got me thinking about - the fact that Joba Chamberlain is the...

Nailbiter pushes Phils to brink
The Yankees are playing some inspired baseball. After a game last night that featured two ties four innings apart, the Bombers found ways to rally. A three run ninth inning was all Mariano Rivera needed to shut down the Phils...

One More To Go
The best way to get even for getting hit by a pitch is to drive in a key run in the ballgame.  Alex Rodriguez got hit in the first inning of game 4 for the third time in 2 games...

Additional Game 3 Observations
Not to be outdone, please check out Steve's Game 3 observations if you haven't already.I believe the turning point for Alex Rodriguez may have been being hit by a pitch in his first at bat.  Much like that first hit...

Lots of Reasons to Like Game 3
The biggest reason of course, is that the Yankees gave us 'a treat' for Halloween as they won their second game in a row and now have a 2-1 game advantage.  I doubt the Phillies are overly worried, but they...

That's more like it
Last night the Yanks got even, beating back the pesky Phils to tie the World Series at one game apiece. It was a telling game, very clearly indicating that nothing will come easy for either team this series. Both teams are...

Let's Get Over It & Play Baseball Tonight
I want the Yankees to win tonight, it would certainly 'lighten the mood', but if they don't I will still tell you they can win 4 of the next 5 games.  I do not underestimate the Phillies.  They have plenty...

Well that didn't go as planned
I'll come right out and say it: I thought the Yankees would win tonight. Not because of any brash insolence, but because I thought the Yankee lineup had the power and depth to rattle Cliff Lee. Of course, we saw...
