Phil Hughes, the Yankees 23 year old righty starter, has run into some unfortunate circumstances. After a season in 2010 in which he won 18 games, Hughes looked to build off that success in 2011. After a series of abysmal outings, the Yankees put him on the disabled list. And all of a sudden, Hughes [...]
The Yankees are constantly berated for buying championships. So much so that they’ve been dubbed “The Evil Empire.” As it turns out, the nickname may be deserved, but if the Yankees are The Evil Empire, the Baltimore Orioles should be called something like The Malicious Federation. As most fans will reluctantly admit, baseball is a [...]
Yankees ace CC Sabathia will make his fifth start of the young season tonight against the Baltimore Orioles. Does it bother anyone besides me that Sabathia does not have a win yet? So far this year, CC Sabathia has a sparkling ERA of 2.37, but an 0-1 record. With an ERA like that, Sabathia deserves [...]
I didn’t really think much of it when the Yankees signed Russell Martin over the offseason. Sure, he was a 2-time All-Star with the Dodgers, but he had been plagued with injuries. I was annoyed that he was taking the spot on the roster that I felt belonged to Jesus Montero. But after the first [...]
Like many Yankees fans, I have become used to the Yanks owning the Twins since they have dominated them for years now. They played well in the game one victory, and appeared to have game two in the “W” column. But as Yogi Berra said, “It ain’t over till it’s over.” And last night, Yankees [...]
I have been hearing so much about the deep farm system of the New York Yankees and had been looking forward to watching the prospects play in Spring Training. It’s still early, but I have already been blown away by several youngsters. With the news that backup catcher Francisco Cervelli fractured a bone in his foot [...]
With the New York Yankees and New York Mets set to play their first Spring Training games in just four days, both teams head into the season with some unanswered questions and controversies. Aside from the Madoff/Mets controversy, there has been news at Mets camp in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Second baseman Luis Castillo’s brother [...]
With Spring Training around one month away, teams are still looking to fill voids in their rosters. Both the Yankees and Mets have made some much-needed moves. The Mets have had their eyes on pitcher Chris Young for the entire offseason. Having failed to make a move on other players they desired, such as Jeff Francis [...]
For many Yankees fans including myself, this offseason has been extremely frustrating. The team obviously had issues that needed to be addressed, but it seemed like they never would. Finally, one issue has been solved. The Yankees now have a setup man who is not Joba Chamberlain: Rafael Soriano. I did not think the Yankees were [...]
If it weren’t for the Yankees misfortune of not landing Cliff Lee, I’d say they are having a very nice offseason. The bullpen proved to be a strength for the Yankees last season, but since you can never have enough pitching, part of the Yankees offseason agenda was strengthening the ‘pen. So far, they’ve made a few [...]
