NYY 3, Baltimore 2. Nick Swisher's walk-off homer in the ninth saved the Yankees from what would have been a pretty humiliating sweep at home by the worst team in the league, and once again Ivan Nova pitched extremely well. That's three good starts out of four for ...

Baltimore 6, NYY 2. Wow, so now even CC Sabathia is stinking it up as a starting pitcher. Given the season CC is having, I guess you have to cut him some slack here and just chalk this one up to sun spots or whatever, and figure it ...

Baltimore 4, NYY 3. This wasn't "Bad A.J.", but it certainly wasn't "Good A.J." either. Or was it? Maybe this is as good as A.J. gets these days? Used to be you could count on Good A.J. to show up about 40% of the time and ...

Toronto 7, NYY 3. As they say, all good things must come to an end, and so it was with the eight-game winning streak. And considering that throughout the streak the starting pitching ranged from mediocre to pretty bad -- they had a combined ERA of 4.57 ...

NYY 7, Toronto 3. What looked to be a good pitching match up with two up-and-coming rookie pitchers never materialized. What happened to Brandon Morrow is anyone's guess, but he sure didn't look like the same guy who dominated the Yankees just two weeks ago. Given that ...

NYY 5, Oakland 0. CC Sabathia is in the process of putting together one amazing year, as he totally shut down the Oakland A's on just one measly hit over eight innings, and he made it all look quite routine. Of course the reality is that this is ...

NYY 4, Oakland 3. As I've said before, there's nothing more predictable than A.J. Burnett's unpredictability. So after two terrible starts, you had to figure A.J. would pitch a good game in this one against the A's, and sure enough that's exactly what we got -- 6 innings, ...

NYY 9, Oakland 3. Wow, the Yankees have actually put together a 4-game winning streak, the longest such streak since the first week of July when they won six seven in a row -- which as I've noted before, is the longest winning streak of the year. Could ...

NYY 11, Oakland 5. Could this be "the" game that gets the Yankees jump-started for the stretch run for the AL East title and the playoffs? It sure has all the ear-markings of a big game. With Dustin Moseley catching a bad case of A.J.-itis and ...

NYY 2, Chicago 1. So maybe Ivan Nova is for real? As good as he looked in his first start last week, he looked even better yesterday as he shut down the White Sox for 5.2 innings, giving up just one run on five hits while striking out ...
