NYY 7, Toronto 3. What looked to be a good pitching match up with two up-and-coming rookie pitchers never materialized. What happened to Brandon Morrow is anyone's guess, but he sure didn't look like the same guy who dominated the Yankees just two weeks ago. Given that ...

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 ...

NYY 4, Oakland 3. As I've said before, there's nothing more predictable than A.J. Burnett's unpredictability. So after two terrible starts, you had to figure A.J. would pitch a good game in this one against the A's, and sure enough that's exactly what we got -- 6 innings, ...

NYY 9, Detroit 5. After a couple of fairly decent starts, Dustin Moseley is rapidly regressing towards his career ERA of 5.29 -- which should surprise no one, but is certainly a cause for concern as the news about Andy Pettitte continues to be not all that good. ...

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 8, Kansas City 3. The lethargic Yankee offense finally woke up against Kansas City, with Alex Rodriguez leading the charge with three home runs while going 4-for-5 with 5 RBIs. Hopefully this is the sign that A-Rod is finally out of the power "slump" he seems to ...

NYY 3, Cleveland 2. With Javier Vazquez (6-7, 4.68) matching up with Jake Westbrook (6-6, 4.74) one would hardly expect a pitchers' duel, yet that's exactly what we got as both pitchers were at their best. After a bad outing against the Angels last week, Vazquez returned to ...

NYY 12, Kansas City 6. All things considered, you have to like Phil Hughes' performance in this one. Outside of Scott Podsednik, who is on a tear right now and could probably hit .500 against Cy Young, Hughes held the Royals to one run on four hits over ...

NYY 3, Oakland 1. After an ugly start to the season, Javier Vazquez successfully turned things around in June with five of six starts being "quality" starts and putting up a 3.23 ERA. So you figured he would do well against a weak hitting Oakland A's team, and sure enough ...

NYY 6, Arizona 5. Wow, talk about winning ugly. Thirteen Yankee batters got walks, but thanks to 3-for-14 hitting with RISP, only two of those free passes end up scoring. Three, count 'em three, big time base running errors to end scoring threats. You allow the ...
