Chicago 7, NYY 6. The Yankee bullpen, with a big helping hand from Joe Girardi, did a pretty good job of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. After Javier Vazquez dug them in to a 5-1 hole, the Yankee offense actually came back and took the lead ...

Los Angeles 8, NYY 4. Well, that was certainly quite the exhibition of terrible pitching. Javier Vazquez, who in his last two outings pitched fairly well and seemed to be improving, coughed up a three run lead and couldn't even make it through four innings. With two ...

NYY 7, Philadelphia 3. What a perfect way to clinch No. 27. With all due respect to the "new guys" like Sabathia, Teixeira, and Burnett -- it was the "old" Yankees who came together to clinch this World Series. Andy Pettitte pitched yet another gem, giving him ...

NYY 8, Philadelphia 5. The Yankee offense finally woke up after napping through the first two games, giving Andy Pettitte his 17th career playoff win, more than anyone else in baseball history. And who else to kick start the offense than Alex Rodriguez, getting his first hit of ...

NYY 3, Los Angeles 2. Poor A.J. Burnett just doesn't seem to get much respect these days -- and understandably so you would have to say. Over his last 10 starts he's a miserable 1-5, so you know he's desperate to pick up a win. And here ...

NYY 6, Los Angeles 5. What a roller coaster ride! For four and a half innings it looked like the old post-All Star Break Yankees were back. Three home runs along with some excellent pitching from Chad Gaudin had given them a 5-0 lead. Just get ...

Baltimore 10, NYY4. That was certainly a clunker. Andy Pettitte pitched poorly, but in typical Pettitte style, he at least kept the Yankees in the ball game and gave them a chance to win. But then along came Damaso Marte and Edwar Ramirez and out went any ...

Boston 5, NYY 4. Well that was plenty ugly on both sides. The Yankees had 13 hits along with 8 walks, put at least one runner on base every inning -- but could only muster 4 runs. And the Red Sox weren't all that much better, getting 14 hits with ...
