Thank God the Yankees won that game. Had they not, I probably would have driven down to the Bronx and paid Robbie Cano a visit. That was probably the most boneheaded play ever. EVER! Why in the world would you but with a 3-0 count? I hope that Cano did that on his own because if he was given the ...
What to do with the fifth starter spot?
riveraveblues.com 7/6/2009 — Once Chien-Ming Wang left yesterday’s game in the sixth after pointing to his shoulder, this post was inevitable. The Yanks will have a few decisions to make in the next few days. They’ll need a spot starter this Thursday in Minnesota, ...
Yankees Outlast Jays, Win 6-5 in 12 Innings
yanksblog.com 7/4/2009 — The Chien-Ming Wang/Roy Halladay matchup didn't seem to favor the Yankees on paper heading into Saturday's game at Yankee Stadium. However, when the dust settled, the Yankees were able to come back against the Jays' big right-hander and eventuall...
Hughes in Pen a Bullish Problem (Score One for Bad Puns!)
puristbleedspinstripes.com 6/27/2009 — Let me make something clear, before I get into the meat of this post: Long term, Phil Hughes is a starter. That's why the Yankees drafted him, and that's where he will end up long term. As it should be. In fact, right now, as Joe P. of River Ave Blues told me, Hughes is the Yanks' fourth-best ...
Yankees Rout Twins 10-2 & Thoughts On Roy Halladay
boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com 7/8/2009 — I didn't get to see last night's blowout victory over the Twins because the game was on My9. I did get to listen to most of it on the radio but was preoccupied with some other things, but I did hear all the good parts. I was very pleased with the outcome and loved what I heard. The offense ...
The Saga of Phil Hughes and the Yankees Bullpen
advancedfantasybaseball.com 6/5/2009 — He was supposed to be the new ace of the New York Yankees. A young star for a franchise with a long history of winning and turning good baseball players into media icons. But that did not happen for Phil Hughes as we expected. Instead he struggled, he got hurt, and he was replaced. But the ...

Another nod to the Metropolitan defense. If not for two first inning mis-plays, the Yankees get maybe one run rather than three .

Posada Gets The Pie
fackyouk.blogspot.com 7/5/2009 — The Yanks added another walk-off win today, as Jorge Posada's 12th inning base hit plated A-Rod to end the long afternoon. Joba Chamberlain and A.J. Burnett tag-teamed the traditional pie in the face as Kim Jones interviewed Posada. He probably choked them both out with his urine soaked hands ...
All the pieces could be coming together
soxandpinstripes.com 6/29/2009 — Often times on this site we have talked about how Baseball has many twists and turns throughout the span of a 162 game season. It's impossible to know anything is for certain. The majority of predictions we make in the preseason will look foolish by November if we only went back and checked up ...
A tale of two pitchers
riveraveblues.com 7/1/2009 — On April 26, 2007, the Yankees found themselves without a starting pitcher, and so a few months — or possibly a year — ahead of schedule, they handed the ball over to a 20-year-old right-hander named Phil Hughes . A few months later, on August 7, ...
