Ian Kennedy, hammered Friday for five runs on nine hits in two-plus innings, was optioned to Triple A. Kennedy was more contrite today that after his start and said some veterans, particularly Andy Pettitte, counseled him on choosing his words better. The team told Kennedy to work on his offspeed pitches while in the minors. He has a tendency while in the majors to go to his fastball too ...

Sarah Green/MLBTradeRumors.Com: Jarrod Washburn was put on waivers yesterday by Seattle. They'll expire on Tuesday. Are the Yankees still interested? Not many people think so, but that was before another terrible pitching performance by Mr. I-an-delusional Kennedy. Last MLBTR heard, the Mariners wanted quite a bit, and the Mets, Rockies, and White Sox had also been mentioned as possible ...

Mark Feinsand/New York Daily News: According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Pettitte has been experiencing stiffness in his left arm, though it is unclear whether it is his shoulder or elbow that has been bothering him. The issue could keep the lefthander from taking the mound on Sunday in Anaheim, which would force the Yankees to find yet another arm to fill a spot in the ...

Pudge Rodriguez left the Yankees game on Wednesday in the bottom of the second after a collision at home plate with David Murphy.

Rob Biertempfel/Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Pirates right-hander Jeff Karstens has retired the first 18 batters he's faced this afternoon in six innings against ...

George A. King III/NYPost.Com: It looks like Joba Chamberlain is at least headed to the disabled list. The Yankees have recalled pitcher Chris Britton from Triple-A, despite the fact he was sent down less than 10 days ago. A player cannot be recalled after a demotion before 10 days have passed, unless his team needs him to replace an injured player. With no other Yankees pitcher revealed ...

It lived a life most of us would envy. But in the end, Jason Giambi’s mustache never really had a chance, and ended up in a bathroom basin, dead after less than a few months of life. The American Mustache Institute salutes Mr. Giambi and his mustache, for having the bravery to walk proudly down the same lines upon which other great Yankee mustaches have — including Reggie Jackson, Thurman ...

Joba is apparently only suffering with a "stiff right shoulder" according to Micheal Kay of the YES Network. I am sure they will have some tests done on it and I will update as soon as I found out more. But for now...it looks like a crisis is averted. Whew...that could have been very, very bad.

Joba Chamberlain left the game Monday evening after allowing five runs on eight hits with an apparent injury to his pitching arm. The injury could possibly be a heat related cramping of the arm, but there is no word from Yankees training staff yet. Joba struck out five and walked two before exiting the game in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Arianne Cohen/NYMag.com: How It Works: Yankees management plays two games. The first is the day-to-day running of the team. Fifty-one thousand fans pay an average of $28 to come to 81 home games, where they suck down sodas and hot dogs for $4.50 each, generating half the team’s sales. The other half comes from $140 million in ad deals and media rights. The largest expense is player costs, ...

"He understands what it's like to play here," ...

Pete Abraham just got word that Jason Giambi has shaved his famous 'stache. My friends, I have some sad news. The ’stache is no more. Sources have told the LoHud Yankees Blog that Jason Giambi has shaved his mustache. The Big G clearly needed to do something given that he has four extra-base hits and a .205 batting average since July 1. I still think that the 'Stache's power was drained ...

Asked what he thought about Edwar supposedly throwing at his head before being ejected in Wednesday's game, Oriole's first baseman Kevin Millar responded with this gemmer of a quote that pretty much sums up the Bronx Stop's feelings towards Edwar. And that is why we sponsored him on Baseball-Reference.com : "I was upset they threw him out of the game because he's really good hittin'. He's a ...
