They were playing in the Metrodome, aka the Homerdome, but the Yankees won 10-1 tonight without the aid of a single home run. Unless, of course, you count the grand slam that A-Rod hit that Carlos Gomez just happened to time perfectly, jump up and steal. At any rate, the 10 Yankee runs came on ...

Yankees Win Behind Burnett's Solid Start (Postgame Notes 03 July 2009)
puristbleedspinstripes.com 7/3/2009 — After AJ Burnett's last start in Boston (which, let's face it, was awful), he made a comment after the game that when he got on a roll, it would be a beautiful thing to behold. Many of us shook our heads--how could he say something like that when he had yet to prove it? Now, it might be him ...

Breaking Down the Yankees for the Second Half--The Lineup, Part 2
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 ...

puristbleedspinstripes.com 7/9/2009 — The Yankees' 12th win in their last 14 games was a bit of an odd one. For example, take AJ Burnett, who had been stellar in his past four starts. It wasn't quite a bad start, at least not by the final results--technically it was a quality start--but it involved making a lot of good pitches at ...
