The past two weeks have been not so much a Tale of Two Teams as it has a Tale of Two Offenses. Both weeks the Yankees pitched decently--certainly well enough that they could have won nearly every game they played--but in the first week of interleague, the team was undone by their offense. ...
Looking at the Yankees on an Off Day
puristbleedspinstripes.com 6/15/2009 — Once again, the semi-regular look athow the Yankees have performed thus far this season on an off day... Starting Pitching The starting pitching, which had gone through most of the month of May on an absolute roll, has struggled something of late. Part of the problem, it seems, has been ...
What Will The Yankees Look Like in 2014?
soxandpinstripes.com 6/29/2009 — I thought this would be an interesting topic to talk about. What will the Yankees look like in 2014? I picked 5 years from now because I think its not too soon, and also not too faraway. I've thought about this topic for a while since the Yankees are extremely trigger happy when it comes to ...
YANKS Try to Get Something Started
yankees.gearupforsports.com 6/26/2009 —
Well it looks as if the Yankees may have finally found their bats…again. The past two nights have been a sincere joy to watch (sans Pettitte last night), and I feel that the confidence may be building like the over zealous arrogance of first place Red Sox fans. It has seemed like a ...
2009 Yankees: (Almost as) easy as pie
baseballreflections.com 7/22/2009 — It’s not just a new stadium for the Yankees this year. It’s a new team atmosphere.
In recent years, the Yanks have acted more like ultra-serious businessmen than giddy schoolboys. But the corporate era is over with the club this season, thanks to spirited new teammates like A.J. ...
Yanks Meet the Mess (Postgame Notes 26 June 2009)
puristbleedspinstripes.com 6/27/2009 — Quietly, or perhaps not-so-quietly, it looks like the Yankees have begun to emerge from their June swoon. In the past three games, the Yankees have scored at least eight runs...and, while these games weren't necessarily laughers, given the timing of the scoring, the wins still count. Tonight, ...
Breaking Down the Yankees for the Second Half--The Rotation
puristbleedspinstripes.com 7/15/2009 — So the All Star Game is officially over--and we can thus consider ourselves in the second half. This is where it gets fun. All of those days players got rested in the first half? Well, now they have to play. Now the pennant races start to heat up, and every move a team makes, be it a trade, a ...

The Yankees are Slumping
yanksgoyard.com 6/22/2009 — I feel the same way, A-Rod. Of course it's still all your fault.
This is not how it was supposed to go. The Yankees had a tough stretch of games against the Red Sox and Mets, but were rewarded with back to back series against bad NL teams. The Nationals have a chance to set the all time ...
Notes From Game 59
nyyankeesrumors.com 6/11/2009 — I have to admit - I missed about 95% of this game. But I did catch the top of the ninth. Unfortunately for the Yankees, they could not pull it out.
That’s eight consecutive losses against Boston (stretching back to 2008), if you’re keeping score at home. And it’s also the ...

Yankees' Fate Remains Tethered to A-Rod —
Bleacher Report - MLB 6/29/2009
Alex Rodriguez stepped to the plate in the seventh inning Friday against the Mets and proceeded to pulverize an Elmer Dessens offering deep into the bullpen of cavernous Citi Field.
It was a raw display of opposite-field power by the three-time ...
