Talk about a quick game. Finally! For once I'm going to get to bed by 11pm. I don't remember the last time I got close to having 8 hours of sleep. Assuming I can fall asleep by 11:30, I may get to squeeze in close to 7.5 hours. It's tough when you've got two kids under two and have work (and the ...
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, ...
Streak Strikes Seven
fackyouk.blogspot.com 7/2/2009 — In a brisk two hour and fifteen minute game that was part pitchers' duel, part home run derby, the Yankees' winning streak reached seven games. Andy Pettitte had a great outing, erasing the memory of his awful start in Atlanta last week, and turning in his best start yet at the new Stadium. He ...
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. ...
Pettitte Strong as Yanks Roll to 7th Straight (postgame notes 1 July 2009)
puristbleedspinstripes.com 7/2/2009 — For, perhaps, the first time this season, Andy Pettitte had an excellent outing at home. On a warm night (without rain, if you'd believe it and I don't blame you if you don't) that saw four home runs, Pettitte maintained his cool and pitched as though it was still 1999. He did give up two runs, ...
Pettitte figures out how to pitch in the house of homers
nyyankeesrumors.com 7/2/2009 —
It looks like Andy Pettitte made some adjustments tonight in order to pitch effectively in the new Yankee Stadium. His struggles at home were well known, so it was nice to see him pitch well for a change in front of the home crowd. Andy went 7 innings, allowing only one earned ...
Yanks Keep On Rolling
soxandpinstripes.com 7/2/2009 — Well, I left off last night saying that Pettitte needs to go out there tonight and just keep the line moving. He did exactly that. Pettitte, who has complained a lot this year about pitching at Yankee Stadium, came out tonight and threw one of his best games at home so far. For 7 innings, Andy ...
State of the Sox: It’s Good to Hate the Yankees Again
csnne.com 6/9/2009 — I think that its quite obvious that there isn’t a single person in Red Sox Nation that is pulling for the Yankees this year….or is there? After all, wasn’t last year somewhat anti-climatic with the hated Yankees out of the ...
First Half Review: Corner Infielders
riveraveblues.com 7/16/2009 — At 51-37, with the third best record in baseball, leading the Wild Card and just three games back in the AL East, the Yankees had a fine first half. Yet it was a tumultuous three months, wrought with streaks and injuries and strange trends, causing ...
A "Miracle" for A-Rod? Not quite
nydailynews.com 6/24/2009 — Before Tuesday’s game, Alex Rodriguez was engrossed in the movie “ Miracle ,” the story of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team. At first, I didn’t think much of it. An athlete watching a sports movie is hardly a big deal. I even ...
