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 ...
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 ...
Yanks suffer tough 5-4 loss to Cleveland
riveraveblues.com 6/1/2009 — As Jhonny Peralta’s third hit of the game skipped under the glove of a diving Alex Rodriguez and as Trevor Crowe, a rookie with a .237 OBP prior to the game, touched home, I second-guessed Joe Girardi.
First, I wondered why Brett Gardner did ...
Yankees' pitching, offense, keeps rolling
soxandpinstripes.com 6/3/2009 — Yesterday Joba Chamberlain pitched eight dominant innings against a good hitting Indian's team on the road, not only taking care of the vaunted eighth inning which has been debated (by the way, why isn't that a debate right now?) and the seven innings before it too. As a 23 year old starter, ...
Notes From Game 71
feedproxy.google.com 6/25/2009 — The Yankees needed a game like this.
It seemed grim in the beginning; the first 15 Yankee batters did not reach base. But then a Francisco Cervelli home run, followed by an Alex Rodriguez bases-loaded single started a Yankee rally in the sixth. A few more hits with runners in scoring ...
Is it Too Soon for the Yankees to Panic?
nyyankeesrumors.com 6/24/2009 — The Yankees have been playing sub-par baseball lately, and while they have plenty of time to bounce back, there are three other teams in the AL East posing some serious threats. First and foremost, the Red Sox are now five games ahead in the standings, and while that’s certainly not an ...
Is there light at the end of this tunnel?
soxandpinstripes.com 6/25/2009 — Tonight was a step in the right direction for a Yankees' team in desperate need of offensive production and wins. They finished the game with eight runs and won by four so in the box score everything will look dandy in a game where Joba Chamberlain looked more like the future ace than the young ...
Should Yanks Call Up Austin Jackson?
nybaseballdigest.com 6/25/2009 — Chuck Johnson of Dugout Central brought up this point.
Put Jackson in the everyday lineup and let him play. If he goes 0-4, yet wins the game with a great defensive play, he’s still performing at a level Cabrera and Gardner can’t. If he goes 3-4, pilfers a couple of sacks and scores a run ...
Looking at the Yankees on an Off Day
puristbleedspinstripes.com 6/29/2009 — 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. ...
A Shift In The Winds Of Fortune
fackyouk.blogspot.com 6/25/2009 — The Yankee blogosphere and sports talk radio were abuzz prior to tonight's game. Brian Cashman joined the team mid road trip, a rare occurence. A line-up was posted that had Melky Cabrera in RF and Nick Swisher on the bench. Then the lineup was, as Walter Sobchak would say, unposted. Then ...
CC's start depends on bullpen session —
Major League Baseball News 6/23/2009
CC Sabathia said on Monday that he plans to make his scheduled start Friday against the Mets at Citi Field, but Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that won't be determined until after Sabathia throws in a bullpen session on Tuesday.
Kenny Rogers: Hall of Famer? —
Bleacher Report - MLB 6/23/2009
On Jul. 28, 1994, Kenny Rogers became the first American League left-hander to pitch a perfect game, joining National League lefties Sandy Koufax and Tom Browning.
In a vastly underrated career, Rogers won 219 games, lost only 156, and has a 108 ...
Red Sox = Yankees + Hypocrisy —
Bleacher Report - MLB 6/23/2009
Red Sox President Larry Lucchino once famously called the Yankees the "evil empire" for outspending the opposition en route to championship after championship. With a fanbase that carried itself with the self-important entitlement of a Hilton heir, ...
