      <title>Thank You, Andy Pettitte</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>It&rsquo;s taken me three days since Andy Pettitte announced his retirement to write a piece on the man that I consider to be one of the greatest Yankees of the past two decades. I did not know how emotional I would become on word of his decision, and so it has been a somewhat dismaying process for me to get my thoughts together, or for the very least write a piece deserving of my feelings toward Andy.</p>

      <title>Did He Really Say That?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Take one.</p>
<p>Ok, so by now most of us are familiar with the buzz surrounding the alleged spitting and beer throwing incident involving Cliff Lee's wife, Kristen, at Yankee Stadium during the ALCS. For those of you who've been hiding under a rock, Kristen Lee, as reported by the Bleacher Report and other sources, told USA Today that she was taunted by Yankees fans who shouted obscenities, spit on and threw beer at her and other family members of the Texas Rangers.</p>

      <title>Eiland Out as Pitching Coach</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Brian Cashman announced today the firing of Dave Eiland as Yankees' pitching coach. He refused to give specifics on the decision, other than&nbsp;to say&nbsp;it was a&nbsp;"private" one.</p>
<p>Speculation is swirling&nbsp;that the combination of AJ Burnett's performance and Eiland's personal time off in June may have been part of the deciding factors of his release.</p>
<p>When asked if Joe Girardi's&nbsp;take on the move would have made any difference on his decision, Cashman simply re...<div class="oneCommentDetails">

      <title>It's On to Texas. So What?!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The Texas Rangers advanced to the ALCS for the first time in their history last night by defeating the AL East champion Tampa Bay Rays, behind what could only be described as an all-out assault by pitcher Cliff Lee.</p>
<p>Lee pitched a complete game, striking out eleven without allowing a walk. He befuddled Rays batters with an array of fastballs, cutters and an unbelievable curveball. When it was all said done, Lee had pitched a complete game on 120 pitches; lifting his postseason recor...<div class="oneCommentDetails">

      <title>Note to the Naysayers: This Ain't 2004</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Talking to fans before the start of the game at the stadium last night, I got the sense that&nbsp;reports by&nbsp;some&nbsp;sports reporters&nbsp;suggesting that the Yankees could "crash and burn" in this ALDS series like they did in the 2004 ALCS to the Boston Red Sox, had really riled them up.</p>

      <title>Puttin' Some Good Wood On It</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>When it was clear that Andy Pettitte would not be returning to the mound for the eighth inning in last night's game 2 of the ALDS, I must admit that I was a little disappointed. As I had predicted the day before, Andy sparkled once again, mind you with a few hitches in his giddyup, but he sparkled nonetheless. It would have been pretty cool to see him pitch through the eighth, thus handing&nbsp;the ball to Mariano Rivera to close. So, yeah, I was a little disappointed.</p>

      <title>What to Expect Tonight In Game 2</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Don't be suprised if you see the Minnesota Twins head back into their clubhouse after the final out tonight with looks of gloom and doom. Minnesota pretty much sealed their fate last night by squandering a 3-0 lead into the sixth inning&nbsp;of game 1 in the ALDS to the Yankees.</p>
<p>Tonight in game 2 should be no different unless perhaps the Yankees take the lead first and keep it.</p>
