New York Yankees 5 — Toronto Blue Jays 0 Kuroda gave up a lead-off double to one-time Yankee Melky Cabrera to start the game, but then struck out the next two batters (Bautista and Encarnacion). This brought up J.P. Arencibia, who hit a line drive back to the mound, which was caught by Kuroda. A [...]
This is an absolute no-brainer. The Yankees player of the week from May 6 through May 12 is 1st year Yankee Vernon Wells. In my mind, Wells might have had one of the best weeks of anyone this season. He hit .360 on the week, with 3 HRs, and 7 RBIs. starting the week against Colorado, [...]

In a week where the Yankees played .500 baseball (3-3), the team was bolstered by two incredible outings from an aging veteran, [...]
Houston Astros 4 — New York Yankees 7 Yankees rebound well from embarrassing loss yesterday with 7-4 win over the Houston Astros. Hiroki Kuroda started tonight, a game after the Yankees surrendered nine runs to the weak Astros. Kuroda righted the ship with a dominant start. Walks appeared to be the lone flaw [...]
Toronto Blue Jays 3 — New York Yankees 5 Home runs was the name of tonight’s game in a 5-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees had Hiroki Kuroda start tonight’s game. Kuroda has had a history of poor first innings and tonight had a similar feel to it. A leadoff [...]
For a team that most people were ready to write off before the season started, the Yankees had a strong third week of the season. The teams record for the week was a respectable 4-2, winning two of three games against both the Arizona Diamondbacks, and the Toronto Blue Jays. The player of the week [...]
New York Yankees 5 — Toronto Blue Jays 3 (11 innings) A two-run error is the difference in today’s 5-3 win in 11 innings over the Toronto Blue Jays. Vernon Wells appears to have found inspiration in the boo’s echoed through the Rogers Centre. It might have been the .447 (21 for 44) [...]
The BronxPinstripes.com Player of the Week for week 2 of the 2013 season is Robinson Cano, and how appropriate that he is selected today on Jackie Robinson Day. After all, he is named after the Brooklyn Dodger great. Cano also wears numbers 24 in honor of Jackie Robinson (inverse of 42). After a slow first [...]

Boston Red Sox 7 — New York Yankees 4 Kuroda slightly injured in second game of the regular season in a 7-4 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Hiroki Kuroda got his first start of the season and it was far from what he wanted. Three singles produced one run to give the [...]
Pittsburgh Pirates 2 — New York Yankees 1 Yankees score one in the 9th in today’s 2-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hiroki Kuroda looked impressive in his start today as a final tune-up for the regular season. In six innings, Kuroda gave up just one single while striking out five. Boone Logan [...]
Threat Level: 1 Since the scale is from 1-10, I am obligated to use 1 instead of 0. This team has only a handful of quality major league talent. Pena? Bedard? Norris? Humber? (He did pitch a perfect game last year though!) Add it all up and it is not much to look forward [...]
Philadelphia Phillies 7 — New York Yankees 0 Hiroki Kuroda gave up four runs in today’s 7-0 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Yankees offense was held off the scoreboard today. Derek Jeter and Kevin Youkilis were able to get a double in the game. Brett Gardner got a hit as well. Minor [...]
