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 8, Kansas City 3. The lethargic Yankee offense finally woke up against Kansas City, with Alex Rodriguez leading the charge with three home runs while going 4-for-5 with 5 RBIs. Hopefully this is the sign that A-Rod is finally out of the power "slump" he seems to ...

NYY 5, Toronto 1. Well, I called it a "big game" (for what that's worth!), and sure enough the Yankees did step up to the challenge. Phil Hughes pitched as well as he has in a month or so, going 5.1 innings and giving up just one run ...

Toronto 8, NYY 6. After two straight shutout performances, you pretty much knew that we were due for an appearance by Bad A.J., and sure enough that's what we got. It's all way too predictable by now. But that's what I don't understand -- given how ...

NYY 8, Seattle 2. When you've got the team with the best record in baseball playing a last place team on the day before the four-day All-Star Game break, I guess it's not to be unexpected that you would see some ugly baseball. And that's exactly what we ...

NYY 3, Seattle 1. This is Seattle, so as you might expect this one turned out to be quite the pitchers' duel. On one side you had Andy Pettitte yet again dominating the other team, holding them to just one run on five hits. Andy struggled in ...

NYY 6, Oakland 1. This one figured to be a good pitching duel with perennial All-Star CC Sabathia up against first-time All-Star Trevor Cahill. And indeed it was, although the two pitching performances were almost exact opposites. While CC gave up seven hits and walked three, Cahill ...

NYY 4, Seattle 2. Getting shut down by the likes of Cliff Lee and Felix Hernandez is one thing, but by a number five starter for a last place team with an ERA of 6.18 is quite another thing. But that's exactly what Ryan Rowland-Smith did to the ...

NYY 2, Los Angeles Dodgers 1. The Yankee hitters continued their all too predictable pattern of being dominated by yet another middle-of-the-road pitcher -- this time it was cast-off Vicente Padilla who brought a hefty 6.67 ERA in to the game, yet managed to hold the Yankees to just ...

NYY 9, Arizona 3. It seems like forever since the Yankees had a "textbook" win, but that's exactly what they got last night. Get an early lead, get seven strong innings from your starter, get to the opposing team's bullpen, and then beat up on the relievers and ...
