Kansas City 4, NYY 3. As the old adage goes, you can't win 'em all, and it's certainly hard to fault a team that has the best record in MLB, and five more wins than the leaders of the other two divisions in the AL. But when you ...

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 11, Toronto 3. At long last, the mighty Yankee offense woke up in the third inning, and what a show they put on! Eleven runs on seven hits, including a 2-run double by Mark Teixeira that broke an 0-for-23 streak with RISP, along with a grand slam ...

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 ...

NYY 4, Houston 3. What started out looking like a slug fest after the first two innings, morphed quickly in to a pitchers' duel, and when you have Andy Pettitte on the mound in one of those you are always in good shape these days. Pettitte pitched yet ...

NYY 11, Cleveland 2. This looked more like the April Yankees -- get some great starting pitching, wear down the opposing pitcher, and then blow away the opponent's bullpen so that the game is out of reach by the time the Yankee relievers take over. Andy Pettitte pitched ...

NYY 3, Minnesota 2. The good news is that the starting pitching appears to be getting back on track, and as we've seen so far this year it's the starting pitching that is carrying this team. Andy Pettitte pitched yet another gem, going eight innings and giving up ...

NYY 7, Minnesota 1. This one was a good, solid, textbook win -- seems like it's been a while since the Yankees have had one of those. They got yet another great start from Andy Pettitte -- 6.1 shutout innings with a mere two hits and three walks. ...

NYY 6, Chicago 4. Derek Jeter pretty much carried the entire load of the offense in this one, going 3-for-4 with 2 runs scored and 4 RBIs. After a shaky start in the first by Andy Pettitte which gave the Sox a 3-0 lead, Jeter immediately led off ...

NYY 7, Los Angeles 1. Wow, yet another solid start from the Andy Pettitte. No more "gutting it out" through rough inning after rough inning -- Pettitte is now breezing through lineups like it was 1996 all over again. Today he only allowed two runners to get ...
