Bullpen To The Rescue

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

NYY 10, Toronto 8. Once again Joba Chamberlain did everything he could to convince the naysayers that he isn't ready for prime time in the starting rotation. Handed a 4-0 lead after two, he quickly turned that in to an 8-4 deficit in his worst outing of the ...

Vintage Pettitte

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

NYY 3, Cleveland 1. That was vintage Andy Pettitte. Lousy command, at least one runner on base every inning, 6 hits plus 5 walks over 5 innings. And yet after all was said and done, only one run given up. Apparently he was pitching hurt, but ...

Bring On The World Champs!

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

NYY 7, Baltimore 4. Beating up on the poor Baltimore Orioles was starting to get a little embarrassing, so I guess it's a good thing this series is now over. This time the Yankees inverted the game plan from the previous wins, jumping on an early lead and ...
