NYY 4, Toronto 3. For a while there, the Yankees were teetering on what would have been a very ugly loss, particularly coming after the disaster from yesterday. Javier Vazquez was pitching a near-perfect game, the only blemish unfortunately being a big one, a two-run homer to Vernon ...

NYY 1, Minnesota 0. With the Yankee bullpen being in such disarray of late, the last thing you wanted to see here was a suspended 0-0 game, which essentially made this one a 4-inning match up between the bullpens. But amazingly, the Yankee bullpen completed the shutout that ...

NYY 6, Chicago 4. Derek Jeter pretty much carried the entire load of the offense in this one, going 3-for-4 with 2 runs scored and 4 RBIs. After a shaky start in the first by Andy Pettitte which gave the Sox a 3-0 lead, Jeter immediately led off ...

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 5, Los Angeles 2. Order has been officially restored to the universe -- the Yankees are once again AL champions. And how appropriate that Andy Pettitte would get the win, Mariano Rivera would get the save, and Derek Jeter would score what would end up being ...

NYY 4, Minnesota 1. Good pitching is what it takes to win in the playoffs, and for the third game in a row the Yankees got great starting pitching. Andy Pettitte proved that he's still the one that you want on the mound in the post-season, picking up ...

NYY 7, Minnesota 2. It's hard to imagine how the playoffs could have started any better than this. First off, you have CC Sabathia putting to rest this idea that he can't pitch well in the post-season because of his performance last year (as silly as that idea ...

If you were paying close attention during the second inning of yesterday's 10-0 win over Chicago, you could hear heads exploding all over Yankee land when Derek Jeter put down a sacrifice bunt with no outs and runners at first and second. The gambit worked to perfection, as he ...

NYY 7, Oakland 2. Two game losing streaks aren't anything to worry about, but three game losing streaks are a different matter. So this one was at least a semi-important game, and who else to come through in the clutch but CC Sabathia and The Captain? CC ...
