NYY 7, Texas 6. What a weird two-game series this ended up being. With Yankee killer Cliff Lee going in game two, the first game was a "must win" in order to insure a split. But alas, not only is it A.J. Burnett starting that game, but ...

NYY 2, Los Angeles Dodgers 1. The Yankee hitters continued their all too predictable pattern of being dominated by yet another middle-of-the-road pitcher -- this time it was cast-off Vicente Padilla who brought a hefty 6.67 ERA in to the game, yet managed to hold the Yankees to just ...

NYY 7, Cleveland 3. For the first six innings it looked like the Yankees were going to embarrass themselves even more than they did in the previous game, as they were getting shut out by Justin Masterson, who entered the game with an 0-5 record and a ERA north ...

NYY 3, Minnesota 2. The good news is that the starting pitching appears to be getting back on track, and as we've seen so far this year it's the starting pitching that is carrying this team. Andy Pettitte pitched yet another gem, going eight innings and giving up ...

NYY 2, NY Mets 1. Nothing like a little NY Mets to help with whatever is ailing you. Javier Vazquez looked great, allowing only one hit over six innings while striking out six and walking just two. Of course it was against the hapless Mets, but still ...

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 7, Philadelphia 4. Alex Rodriguez has seemingly morphed from a batter who never could hit in the clutch to one who now only hits when it's a clutch situation. When A-Rod came to the plate in the ninth with the score tied, two outs, and the go-ahead ...

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 4, Boston 2. How perfect was that? The Yankees clinch the division title at home against their arch rival in the first year in the new stadium. It's the first division title in three years. It was also the 100th win of the season, something ...
