Toronto 3, NYY 2. Given that the Yankees had three bench players in the starting lineup, and the starting pitcher was making his first ever MLB start, you pretty much couldn't have much expectations of a win. Although going up against Brandon Morrow, you never can tell. ...

Toronto 8, NYY 6. After two straight shutout performances, you pretty much knew that we were due for an appearance by Bad A.J., and sure enough that's what we got. It's all way too predictable by now. But that's what I don't understand -- given how ...

Tampa Bay 3, NYY 0. So you've got a two game lead over the second place team in the division and a chance to open that lead up to three games, take a series from them on their home turf, and thus maybe establish a bit of a mental ...

Toronto 3, NYY 2. Wow, pretty tough loss. Andy Pettitte comes up with yet another great start going 7+ innings and allowing only two solo home runs, and then the bullpen gives you 5+ innings of shutout ball -- but the offense goes missing in action for the ...

Cleveland 13, NYY 11. How in the world can you lose a game to what is arguably the worst team in the league when you take a six run lead in to the sixth inning? Well, the answer is that it's quite easy when you have the bullpen ...

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 6, NYY 4. Coming off two excellent starts, you had to figure it was time for Bad A.J. to make an appearance, and sure enough that's what we got last night. Just goes with the territory with A.J. Burnett, and it ain't ever going to change. ...

NYY 10, Tampa Bay 0. The Yankees were hitting on all cylinders in this one! The obvious star was CC Sabathia, pitching a no-hitter for 7.2 innings before giving up a line drive single to Kelly Shoppach. And turns out that might have been a lucky break ...

Blaming any part of the opening game loss on Jorge Posada is plain silly. First off, the only reason Youkilis scored on the passed ball was because he got to third on a wild pitch from Damaso Marte four pitches earlier. If not for that, he doesn't score on the ...

Boston 9, NYY 7. The Yankees opened in ugly fashion last night, and reminded us all that the few weaknesses they had last year could well haunt us again this year. Over the last month of last year's season and certainly through the post-season, Girardi overall did ...
