CC, Say It Ain’t So!

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

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 ...

The CC And Curtis Show

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

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 ...

Winning Ugly

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

NYY 12, Chicago 9. This one was certainly an ugly game, but I guess at this point you take the wins anyway you can. Lots of less than encouraging news though -- hopefully CC Sabathia isn't catching A.J. disease like everyone else in the starting rotation seems to ...

The CC-Cano Show

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

NYY 10, Seattle 0. CC Sabathia and Robinson Cano both made great cases today for why they might be deserving of post-season awards, like the CY Young and MVP. CC has become Mr. Automatic over the last three months, as you have to go all the way ...

The Offense Awakens

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

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 ...

Late Inning Excitement

Friday, August 13th, 2010

NYY 4, Kansas City 3. For eight innings this one looked like it was going to be a routine, yawner-type win with the Yankees putting up four runs in picket fence style, while CC Sabathia pretty much kept the Royals off the scoreboard. This was typical CC of ...

Shut Down By Yet Another No-Name Pitcher

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

Cleveland 4, NYY 1. What is the deal with the Yankees never being able to hit no-name pitchers that they've never seen before? Josh Tomlin may end up being the second-coming of Cy Young for all I know -- the Yankees certainly made him look like it in ...

Winning With Offense

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

NYY 10, Kansas City 4. Bad pitching is apparently contagious, as CC Sabathia made it five bad starts in a row for the Yankees. CC did get through 6.1 innings with only four runs (three earned, ergo a "quality" start), but he was in trouble pretty much every ...

Whither Goest The Starting Rotation?

Monday, July 19th, 2010

NYY 9, Tampa Bay 5. What a whacky start to the second-half of the season this series was. In game one you had CC Sabathia getting the short end of a good pitchers' duel with James Shields, but then the red-hot Nick Swisher single handedly won the game ...

Winning One For Mr. Sheppard

Monday, July 12th, 2010

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 ...
