The Yankees may not have gotten Ryan Dempster, but they didn’t stay completely silent at the deadline.

AAA: Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees John Maine was lights out tonight in shutting down the Pawtucket Red Sox. The veteran righty pitched seven shutout innings, allowing just one hit along the way.

Freddy Garcia no longer has that low to mid-90′s fastball like he had when he pitched for the Seattle Mariners. He is no longer a power pitcher that relies on pure velocity to get hitters out. Now, he relies on finesse, location and guile. After struggling for most of the year, which resulted in a [...]
With Andruw Jones and the recent acquisition of Ichiro Suzuki, the Yankees can boast something that no other team can; having two outfielders with 10 Gold Gloves apiece. However, even though they have the same amount of hardware, the two couldn’t be further apart in their defensive ability. Looking at the box score from last [...]

Boston Red Sox 8 — New York Yankees 6 Pedro Ciriaco’s run-scoring triple was enough as the Yankees lost by a score of 8-6 to the Boston Red Sox. Two innings of CC Sabathia’s six innings of work were bad. In this 2:04 rain delayed game, Sabathia came out with poor command as [...]
The Yankees come back after a big night at the plate and look to take the second game of the series with the Red Sox. CC Sabathia takes the mound looking for his 11th win of the year and to further bury the Red Sox in the basement of the AL East. Jon Lester, taking [...]
Boston Red Sox 3 — New York Yankees 10 A quick battle of home runs led to a 10-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Phil Hughes has a habit of giving up home runs but to his credit, they have often been solo home runs. On 110 pitches through 7 innings, Hughes [...]
