Once we, as fans, get beyond our own suffering and take a step back I think we all see a beaten man.  It's hard to imagine a proud competitor taking the mound with absolutely nothing and even more than that, he knew he had nothing.  When the splitter...

It's a shame that ESPN was about to hold the Yankees to an 8 pm ballgame, certainly not allowing them to get up in the air until well past the midnight hour. Thus, they'd roll into Texas in the week hour...

We have to like CC boucning back tonight after a less than stellar, workman-like outing at Baltimore last time out.  Gardenhire is going to rest Morneau because his numbers are pretty morbid over the course of time vs. CC, so they'll not have the same punch they had last night.  Plus,...

There’s no doubt that today’s athlete is built a lot better than their predecessors due, in large part, to developing their bodies and athletic ability to its fullest like no others before them.  With a lot of hard work, year-round training, along with personal n...

Among the many, many adjectives you could attach to the history of Yankees baseball, and the thousands of great players who have worn the pinstripes, one that is always foremost in my thinking is "class." 

When you think of pitchers who win and lose wit...

Here it is only April and there are regulars sitting out with muscle pulls or tweaks that are not worth testing for risk of more serious injury.  Think about the 162 game grind--how important is a short AL bench when you are expecxted to compete for ...

The Yanks have been in the doldrums lately, scoring just two runs in the last two games, having lost 5 of their last 8 and being 6-9 for August as they headed into last night's game vs. the Tigers. But Sabathia picked them up as he earned his AL leading 16th win, limiting Detroit...

NYY finds themselves in the "dog days" of August and the month has not been kind to the Pinstripes.  They started off August dropping the series deciding game to Tampa Bay and followed that with a 1-2 series with Toronto. Up until la...

Whenever you hear of one of the Yankee hitters having some success, or not, they usually weave Kevin Long into the conversation.

Last night in Kansas City Alex Rodriguez blasted three long HRs--the shortest at 412 feet and the longest one, a 439-foot bomb that splashed down in the Royals' fountain display.  Every each and every at-bat you see A-Rod alongside Long in the Yankee dugout evaluatin...

It's obvious that Javier Vazquez's last two appearances have been miles from his previous half-dozen.  Pitching coach Dave Eiland indicated last week that Vazquez has to work through that and they were going to adjust his work between starts.

It didn't work.

Is it worth running a guy with a dead arm out there, only with the hope that he can somehow be crafty enough for 5-6 in...
