HOLLER!!!!!!! The Yankees have once again taken a series and everything…at least it seems…is right again with the Bronx Bombers…everything has been going so good over the past 2 games that even Arod decided to join the party! Hey Yankee fans, if you were wondering how much of an impact Arod’s hitting has on the Yankees you just have to look at the two past series, against Washington and Florida, and then compare them to the two games they won against Atlanta (Check last nights box-score here)…A DIRECT CORRELATION! When Arod hits…he fuels the rest of the team and therefore gets them more pitches to hit and then they score more runs…and with last night as an example this team has the ability to win when their pitching doesn’t show up…Pettitte was not impressive out of the gate…even with a two run lead…and thankfully the Yankee bats were there to back him up and beat up on a very good starter in Derek Lowe. Two things can be a factor to what sparked this sudden burst of offense…Joe Girardi getting tossed out or Cervelli’s first MLB homerun. I would like to think it was Girardi but I might have to go with Cervelli’s homer…here’s why… (more…)

Yankees, Joba Win!

WOOOOOOOOO WHOOOOOOOO!!!! WOW!!! What a great victory!!! And if it wasn’t for Joba hitting a ball up the middle, and taking out Kawakami who knows…the Yanks might have gotten “Perfect Gamed”…as my friend John Sterling put it many times last night. And just when I start to have my doubts about Joba being a starter…”He goes and does something like this…and TOTALLY redeems himself.”…sorry Dumb and Dumber moment. Well maybe not completely…the fact that he couldn’t get out of the bottom of the 7th hurts him a little bit…but everyone has to admit he did look great yesterday…even with him facing two pitchers combining for a perfect game gone no hitter after a Brett Gardner walk in the 6th…I’ll get back to that soon. But I was impressed with Joba’s poise and confidence on the mound yesterday (more…)
Yanks Lose 3rd Straight, 5 Games Back

Well there is really only one word to describe the way the Yankees have played as of late…and that is PATHETIC!!! This is the 3rd series in a row where they are facing a team they have a distinct advantage over and now they drop the first and most crucial game of this series. The worst part about it? Wang looked good again!!! And this guy can’t buy a win…or even a no decision! He pitched well his last two starts and the Yankee bats are turning into the Mets when Santana is on the hill…except right now you can’t hope to score 1 run…I KNOW THE YANKEES GOT SHUT OUT!…and win the game with Wang on the hill…where is the offense? Hanson pitched okay last night…but he didn’t have shut out stuff…calling all Yankee hitters…when you get 10 guys on base off of a starter…especially a rookie!!! YOU HAVE TO SCORE!!!! What are you guys doing??? (more…)
Yanks Head to Atlanta for 3 Game Series

Let’s preview tonite’s game….shall we? Well to me the start of the series is a very interesting one and one that can possible answer a lot of questions on where Wang is in his “way back” to being a dominate, #1 form, starter again. He goes into Atlanta to face their famous, hard throwing, #1 prospect Tommy Hanson, once again another pitcher the Yankees have NEVER seen. This series is important for both teams to get back on track, they both have lost their last 2 previous series, but Atlanta is on a 4 series skid, so they are definitely looking to bounce back and jump on the Yankees quickly tonite. The Yankees, as said earlier, have lost their last 2 series to teams they should have beaten and they go into Atlanta looking to prove they are within the ranks of the elite ball clubs. Atlanta needs this series to try and stay some-what afloat, but the Yankees need this series, not only for confidence and momentum, because the Saux go into Washington and if they continue to play the way they have been as of late, they should take 2 from the Nationals easily.

Stammen Bests Joba, Nats Take Series 2-1

ummmmmmmmmm…was I sleeping or something along those lines? Because I’m pretty sure I just had a nightmare that the Yankees couldn’t handle the WORST TEAM in baseball (possibly ever)…and dropped 2 of 3 to them. Really? Is that what you guys are about? I know teams go into slumps…yada, yada, yada…but right now? AGAINST THE NATIONALS??? I hope you guys didn’t have people fooled earlier this year when you looked like a championship caliber team…because this week you looked like you belonged in AAA. The worst part about it is that the pitching was there…BUT WHERE WAS THE HITTING!!! This team is an offensive juggernaut and they scored a total of 7 runs!!! 7 runs!!! Is this a joke or something? I understand the struggles hitters have when they don’t know a pitcher or have never seen him before…but a whole team? And whyyyyyyy are you swinging so early? They clearly had NO strategy going into this series…what a horrible performance by a team that should’ve averaged 6 runs per game against Washington…but I guess that’s what happens when you expect to win and become lackadaisical.
Welcome!
