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 ...
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. The win marked their sixth straight victory, and now trail Boston by 2.5 games (thanks to them blowing a nine run lead against the ...
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 ...
Are A Couple Yankee Pitchers Pitching Injured? (Game Notes 10 and 11 July 2009)
puristbleedspinstripes.com 7/11/2009 — Brian Bruney and Joba Chamberlain have been, well, awful of late. So, here's the question: Do you think they are injured? Brian Bruney's spent most of this season on the DL. He has looked awful since coming off of it, and tonight's performance is no different. There's a 1:2 K/BB ratio, and when ...
Yankees Pitching Implodes In 10-6 Loss To Angels
boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com 7/11/2009 — Because the game started late last night, I only made it to the 7 th inning stretch before I fell asleep with the game on. The Yanks were down 7-6 and I remember thinking that they could easily come back and win the game, assuming the pitching held up. I woke up a few hours later and the replay ...
Happy 4th!
boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com 7/4/2009 — Sorry for not posting after yesterday's game. My friend Joe and I took a little road trip to Erie, PA to check out the Trenton Thunder. They crushed the Seawolves 10-1. I also got Jesus Montero's autograph. Good times. Yesterday's game in a nutshell: A.J. was again the man. Hughes is in, ...
Melky & A-Rod’s late innings heroics lead Yanks past Mariners
nyyankeesrumors.com 7/1/2009 —
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. ...
All the pieces could be coming together
soxandpinstripes.com 6/29/2009 — Often times on this site we have talked about how Baseball has many twists and turns throughout the span of a 162 game season. It's impossible to know anything is for certain. The majority of predictions we make in the preseason will look foolish by November if we only went back and checked up ...
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 ...

Blue Jays v. Yankees – 7/5/2009
At first it looked like a bigger blowout than the typical haircut of the Bridge and Tunnel crowd in South Jersey in the summer. Brett Cecil worked ...
