The ace of the Yankee staff, CC Sabathia, had successful surgery to remove a bone spur in his left elbow earlier today. CC had previously been on the disabled list back in August with inflammation in that same elbow. Even after missing a few starts and pitching through this injury, CC had one of his [...]

Phil Hughes told reporters during last night’s rain delay (and eventual rain out) that he felt ready to go and could be used out of the bullpen for Thursday’s Game 4 after experiencing back stiffness in the 4th inning of Game 3. However, one has to wonder if the Yankees would be wise to hold [...]

The Yankees are in Detroit down 2-0 and facing arguably the best pitcher in the Major Leagues tonight in Justin Verlander. The bats have been silent and frozen to say the least, so in this game Joe Girardi is truly mixing up the lineup to try to find some life in the Yankees bats. Girardi [...]
Well, the Yankees have been struggling in the playoffs. This could be the biggest understatement I’ve ever put into writing but these playoffs tie into a bigger trend I’ve noticed in recent years. Since I’ve started following the Yankees, I can say there have been two time periods. The first being 1998-2001 beginning when I [...]
For four years now, Yankees fans have had a love affair with right-fielder Nick Swisher. The always smiling, laughing and jovial “bro” who happens to be a ballplayer would always interact with the fans, giving away baseballs and always engaging in light conversation, even as a game was in progress. Now, it appears that love [...]
Detroit Tigers 3 — New York Yankees 0 Hiroki Kuroda is the hard-luck loser in today’s 3-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Hiroki Kuroda dominated in his 7.2 innings start today. 7 of the first 9 Kuroda faced were out by the strikeout as Kuroda had all his pitches working. He would not [...]
When Mariano Rivera went down, this New York Yankees team was thought to have gone down with him. For the first time in 16 years, the team would be without the greatest relief pitcher all-time. Rafael Soriano stepped up to fill the void, putting to rest any questions about the teams ability to close games. [...]
Detroit Tigers 6 — New York Yankees 4 (12 innings) A back and forth game includes a serious injury in tonight’s 6-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers in 12 innings. Andy Pettitte took the mound for Game 1 and gave the Yankees 6.2 innings where he got in and out of difficult situations. [...]
Fresh off of their ALDS win against the gritty Orioles, the Yankees advance to the ALCS to take on the team that knocked them out of the postseason last year, the Detroit Tigers. What we learned from the ALDS against Baltimore has been that the Yankees pitchers are in their groove and the hitters are [...]
Baltimore Orioles 1 — New York Yankees 3 In the winner-take-all game, CC Sabathia pitched a gem in tonight’s 3-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. The Yankees turned to CC Sabathia to give the Yankees the best chance to win and he came through. Sabathia didn’t allow his first run until the 8th [...]

The guy with the 647 career home runs had been pushed aside. The guy who has a good chance to finish number one in three major categories (home runs, runs, RBIs) was told he wasn’t needed. Alex Rodriguez was told he wasn’t Alex Rodriguez anymore. “Ibanez for A-Rod” in Game Three will be talked about [...]
There was a lot of skepticism that surrounded the Yankees offseason decision to sign free agent outfielder, Raul Ibanez, to a one year deal. There was doubt that the 40-year-old would have the stamina to contribute at a high level and endure an entire baseball season. On top of that, the club already seemed to [...]
Baltimore Orioles 2 — New York Yankees 3 (12 innings) An interesting decision in the 9th inning paid off in big ways as the Yankees win by a score of 3-2 in 12 innings over the Baltimore Orioles. Hiroki Kuroda gave the Yankees an outstanding start in the first home game of the [...]

Hiroki Kuroda will start tonight for the Yankees, and starting pitching [...]
