NYY 6, Detroit 2. Nothing like going up against one of the better pitchers in the league in Justin Verlander when you need to break out of an offensive slump. But this is the way the Yankees do things these days, having no problems with good pitchers, but ...

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 8, Philadelphia 3. CC Sabathia delivered yet another "quality" start for the Yankees, although this one was rather odd in how CC went about getting through seven innings. He mowed through the lineup first time around, striking out six and allowing just one base runner on a ...

NYY 10, Boston 3. If there's anything better than beating the Red Sox in a romp, it's beating the Red Sox in a romp when Josh Beckett is on the mound. When it comes to being an all around jerk, Beckett is world class. And that's not ...

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 ...

NYY 10, Tampa Bay 0. The Yankees were hitting on all cylinders in this one! The obvious star was CC Sabathia, pitching a no-hitter for 7.2 innings before giving up a line drive single to Kelly Shoppach. And turns out that might have been a lucky break ...

At long last, baseball is back! In no particular order, here are some of the things I'll be watching for as Spring Training progresses......
No doubt the biggest change from last year's team is the outfield. Clearly Curtis Granderson (3.4 WAR) is a significant improvement over Melky Cabrera (1.7 WAR) -- ...

Los Angeles 7, NYY 6. Well that was just plain ugly all around. You knew it was going to be a long night when "Bad" A.J. Burnett showed up in the first inning, putting the Yankees behind 4-0 before he had even thrown a dozen pitches (seems like ...

NYY 4, Minnesota 3. If this is not a "team of destiny" they might as well ban that phrase from use. Now I do understand that there's still a lot of baseball to be played, and this juggernaut could be derailed at any moment. But for now at ...
