At long last Chien-Ming Wang is now officially no longer a Yankee, having signed a one-year deal with the Washington Nationals. Interestingly, there seems to be nary a mention of this on any of the more popular NYY blogs. I guess this is just a case of "what ...

NYY 6, Toronto 5. Another pitcher's duel, only this time the duel didn't start until both teams had gone to their bullpens. Roy Halladay looked rather pedestrian -- perhaps a result of this being only his second start since coming off the DL. On the other hand, ...

NYY 4, Toronto 2. Yet another pitcher's duel, and once again the Yankees ended up on top. This time it was A.J. Burnett doing the honors, going 7 innings and allowing only 2 runs. That's four excellent starts in a row for A.J. -- over that time ...

NYY 4, New York Mets 2. The Yankee offense finally came back down to earth, as Livan Hernandez and the Mets bullpen limited them to just 4 hits. But alas, the Mets are such a bumbling bunch these days that even excellent pitching is not enough to get ...

Washington 3, NYY 2. John Lannan pitched a great game -- not much you can do about that. The guy has a career ERA of 3.78 while pitching for one of the worst teams in baseball, so when he's on you're liable to get beat regardless of how bad ...

Last 10 games as of 06/14/2009 min 15 AB
Last we looked the team 10-game BA was .322 with BA/RISP of .323. Over the last 10 games it's no where close to that. Hopefully yesterday's extended batting practice against Met pitching got ...

Boston 6, NYY 5. That was certainly deja vu all over again. That's back-to-back starts where one of the Yankees' supposedly top starters couldn't make it through 3 innings. Wang allowed 9 of 17 Boston hitters to reach base. The previous night, A.J. Burnett allowed 10 ...

Boston 7, NYY 0. It's becoming pretty obvious that A.J. Burnett's inconsistency is just something the Yankees are going to have to live with. After putting in two consecutive good starts against Texas, he was terrible last night against Boston. It's hard to pitch at the big ...

Lots of impressive numbers here. Team BA of .322 is great, but it's not just one or two guys that are hot. Seven of the regulars are hitting over .300 for the last ...

NYY 8, Texas 6. This is what I would call a very productive win. Not only do the Yankees win the series, making that now 7 of the last 8 series they have won, but they also got a good insight in to how far along Chien-Ming Wang ...
