The following is commentary and interviews from yesterday's
(7/20) Sunday MLB on TBS broadcast between the Oakland
Athletics and the New York Yankees with announcers Chip Caray and Ron Darling, and interviews with Bob Geren of the A's and Joe Girardi of the Yankees.
I've questioned Giambi's resurgence here before . Others
have questioned him and other Mitchell Report players, too.
But most of the questioning seemed to be coming outside of the MSM, the beat reporters. Was it because such a question would damage ...

Giambi homers in sixth and Pettitte sparkles in
2-1 win as Yanks sweep A's.
The Yankees received a huge boost from the
GOP yesterday, and it had nothing to do with
John McCain's inclusion in the Stadium crowd. This GOP - Grand Old Pettitte - simply put the Yankees on his shoulders for eight innings (two more than McCain...
Taken at face value, this should be a
heartwarming story, a tale of twin redemptions for Andy
Pettitte and Jason Giambi . One suffered through an offseason of embarrassment, the other muddled through an April of abasement. Both came through in a big ...
Don't get too excited, Yankees fans. A local
NY writer downplays the recent wins since it came
against the A's.
Fast Facts •Andy Pettitte held the opposition to
four hits, while pitching eight innings for the second
time in three starts, to pick up his 11th win of the year. •Jason Giambi hit his 20th home run and is now 6-for-8 with four homers and six ...
I've been against this idea for a while,
but over the past few days I've been thinking
about it and made a complete 180 on the idea. The Yankees should definitely sign Barry Bonds. Before responding, ask yourself this question; Do you want the Yankees to make the postseason or not? Then remind yourself that Andy Pettitte (a cheater) and Jason Giambi (a cheater) are on the roster, and two fan ...
From Mark Feinsand : With the Yankees seemingly
already in All-Star break mode during Sunday's 4-1 loss
to the Blue Jays, Pettitte called out his team, and issued a challenge for the second half. "If we want to make the playoffs, we have to be better," said Pettitte, who took the loss Sunday. "We stink right now for the most part. As a team, we've kind of stunk it up here lately, so we need to ...
The latest development in the ongoing saga is
that Andy Oliver and his team of attorneys have
filed a Complaint against Robert Barrata, his brother, the Barrata Partners company, Rob Martin, Brian Goldberg, Icon Sports, and the NCAA. I believe that is now time to tackle the growth of the Andy Oliver Affair.
Looks at the bonehead moves and brilliant moves
made by Cashman, or whoever's been running the show
for the past 10 years.

TORONTO - A.J. Burnett put Yankees hitters right
back in the abyss they were in before Saturday's
nine-run outburst.
A.J. Burnett came within two outs of a
shutout, Marco Scutaro hit a three-run home run and
the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Yankees 4-1 on Sunday. Jason Giambi spoiled Burnett's shutout bid with a solo home run in the ninth, his 19th. ...
The Yankees had 32 plate appearances against A.J.
Burnett and 25 of them were over in three
pitches or fewer. Only four of those were strikeouts. Joe Girardi defended his players, saying Burnett was able to get ahead of them. But the Yankees had ...
This is how my buddy Andy — and
probably the rest of the country — views Sox
fans. Jägerbombs don’t fly in New England. Kuckleballs do.
The Rays have said all season long they
are a team of pitching and defense, but after
their plethora of weak at-bats against Andy Pettitte, Sidney Ponson and the Yankee bullpen, we have no good reason not to believe them.
Visit ESPN.com for the complete story.
Andy Pettitte had been so good, so dominant
all night long. But on his 100th pitch, with
Rays runners on first and third with two outs in the seventh inning, it looked as if Pettitte had finally hit a snag.
Whether the Yankees gain any ground this series
comes down to today's finale. Whether they ultimately catch
the first-place Rays comes down to the next three months. But in facing off against their new rivals last night in a critical game, Andy...
In a battle of southpaws, Andy Pettitte delivered
the goods over eight strong innings against Scott Kazmir
and the Rays in a 5-0 victory.
Scott Kazmir opened Tuesday night's game against the
Yankees like the All-Star he is. Five of the
first six hitters struck out, prompting Andy Pettitte to say "this guy's going to strike out 20 the way it's going." But he didn't.
Derek Jeter delivered with his bat and glove,
backing a determined effort by Andy Pettitte that led
the Yankees to a much-needed, 5-0 win over the Tampa Bays Rays on Tuesday night. Pettitte pitched eight sharp innings.

I wrote yesterday morning that the Boston Red
Sox needed to get a great outing from Jon
Lester. Well Lester did just that and more as he threw a complete game 5-hit shutout against a talented New York Yankees lineup last night at Yankee Stadium. Lester was just masterful last night. He had complete command of all his pitches, effectively mixing in cutters, sinkers, changeups and a 4-seam ...
Jon Lester walked the first two Yankees he
faced last night and, after a Bobby Abreu fielders
choice, the Yankees had runners at the corners with one out and the heart of the order up in the first inning. Lester then struck out Alex Rodriguez and ...
Joe Girardi can have all the meetings he
wants, and the Yankees can talk about being embarrassed
all they want, but in games like these, big games the Yankees desperately need, they have to be able to count on their stars.

Brian McNamee has asked a federal court to
dismiss Roger Clemens defamation lawsuit, or move the case
