Yet another issue on the Yankees hot stove
plate this off season is what to do with
their backup catcher spot. Now, I am not a fool, I don’t see the Yankees carrying three catchers on their 25 man roster. We’ve heard it for a while now, the Yankees want to get younger and more ...

That's the news according to LoHud eminating from

again be catching A.J. Burnett while Brett Gardner gets the start in center over Jerry Hairston, Jr., thankfully. Girardi also said that the Yanks are in discussions with the MLB in ...

Here's the million dollar question: Do you want

I'm not sure myself. There are pros and cons to both and I'm not sure which side has better arguments. This decision could end up proving to be a colossal mistake. It could definitely end up biting ...

Yankees Manager Joe Girardi, for all his emphasis
on enlightened thinking, succumbed to two myths on Thursday
in setting his lineup for Game 2 -- that hitting streaks matter in baseball, and that pitchers perform better with certain catchers.

Good morning, Fackers. We can all exhale a
bit as the Yankees did what they had to
do last night in order to even the series on the way to Philly. The outcome was on the line until the very last at bat, and there were a lot of people that were acquitted of some bad decision making when Matt ...

between having not having Jorge Posada and Gardner/Hinske/Swisher in the line up was not that big in terms of run expectancy. When the tires met the road in the Bronx last night, ...

A.J. Burnett may have finally put any doubts
to rest with his performance last night. Burnett had
electric stuff, especially his curveball, and held the fort down just enough for the Yankees bats to get going in the 3-1 win. It seems listening to Cliff Lee a night earlier talk about confidence ...

There was a big hubbub about Joe Girardi
starting Jose Molina (.217/.292/.268 this year) at catcher over
Jorge Posada (.285/.363/.522 this year) tonight. The justification was that AJ Burnett pitched better with Molina behind the plate, and that that made up for the massive difference in ...

I thought with the Yankees carrying two catchers,

Girardi, however is sticking with Jose Molina behind the plate , and he’s also using Jerry Hairston instead of Nick Swisher. Girardi said that Hairston’s record of success against ...

Here's a new one guys, Joe Girardi is

Nick Swisher will not be in tonight's starting
lineup for the Yankees . Joe Girardi has finally
decided to sit his struggling right-fielder, who is just 11 of his last 77 (.143) with 1 homer and 4 RBI. If you ask me, it's about damn time. Jerry Hairston Jr., who is 10-for-27 against Pedro ...

Well the lineup is in and Molina is

right. Swisher is on the bench and...HARISTON is in? I looked it up and the reason has to be that Hairston has hit .333/.407/.500 against Pedro in his career. Of course that is off of a whopping 24 AB's. ...

Maybe Roy Halladay wasn’t the best pitcher available
at the trade deadline. Cliff Lee, who just two

Sounds like Hinske and Bruney are in and

the obvious one and had to be done. Normally, I wouldn't want to add a 12th pitcher at the expense of a batter, but in this case I like it. With Games 3-4-5 on consecutive days, Girardi ...
