Joba Chamberlain turned in another sub par outing today. He went 5.1 innings, allowing 3 earned runs and struck out 4 batters. Joba is just not pitching effectively right now, and he can’t go deep into games because he is always nibbling on the corners of the strike zone. ...
Yanks take back-and-forth game with M’s
lennysyankees.com 7/1/2009 — The Yankees (44-32) blew two different two run leads, but still came away with the victory after a three-run eighth inning rally to beat the Mariners (39-37) 8-5.

It Comes Full Circle
fackyouk.blogspot.com 7/1/2009 — After the hour long rain delay and amusing awkwardness of the National Anthem , the Yankees brought out Mariano Rivera to throw out the first pitch. Perhaps our friend and first pitch aficionado Josh at Jorge Says N0! could answer this question: When was the last time an active player threw ...
Yankees Keep The Winning Streak Alive With 8-5 Victory Over Mariners
boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com 7/1/2009 — Once I saw that the start of tonight's game was going to be delayed by rain, I had no intention of blogging after it ended. But it was a great win so how could I not? The team pulled Brian Bruney's ass out of the fire. He came in and absolutely sucked but the boys picked him up with some late ...
Not a Pretty Win, But Yanks Take Their 6th In A Row
soxandpinstripes.com 7/1/2009 — Another game, another win for the Yankees. Doesn't it seem like forever ago that the Yanks were losing some awful games to the Nationals and Marlins? Well after looking so bad just a little over a week ago, the Yankees have now turned out a 6 game winning streak and are back to within 2.5 games ...
I thought Joba was done and the Yankees couldn't beat contenders?
soxandpinstripes.com 7/20/2009 — Shows how much living and dying with the weekend will get you. Days before the American League locked up home field advantage in the World Series, the Yankees were proclaimed second rate, a third place team and unable to beat any of the four legitimate contenders in the AL (Boston, LA, Tampa ...
Yankees' trends, thoughts, and a Joba update.
soxandpinstripes.com 6/10/2009 — Above all, yesterday had to be the worst Yankees' game all season where the opponent didn't crack double digits. It's not often you see the offense shut down like that and you have to hope it won't set a chain reaction. My gut feeling is it won't, this offense is too deep with too many options ...
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' Grit it Out Against Mariners (postgame notes 30 June 2009)
puristbleedspinstripes.com 7/1/2009 — Given that Mariano Rivera threw out tonight's ceremonial first pitch and that Joba Chamberlain was starting, it is perhaps not surprising that in the end it came down to the bullpen. Joba Chamberlain started, and while he wasn't horrible in any sense of the word, he also wasn't very good, or ...
Yanks Win a Sloppy One
soxandpinstripes.com 7/6/2009 — Let me start by saying, a win is a win. I could not care less how sloppy the game was. And truth be told, the Yankees weren't sloppy, Joba was. I was at the game yesterday (sitting in section 208), and it was clear from the start that Joba did not have it, again. He started off the game with a ...
