Cycle for Melky

Published on 2009-08-02 17:45:00

Melky Cabrera, who was originally a back up outfielder before injuries fell to Xavier Nady has made Yankees history today. Becoming the first Yankee since Tony Fernandez in 1995, Melky Cabrera has hit for the cycle.He hit a three-run home run in the second, a lead off double in the fourth, a run scoring single in the fifth, and the triple to finish it off in the ninth inning.The Yankees avoided

I was given this book about a month ago and have been meaning to do a review on it. Now since I have some free time...here goes.The thing that I like about this book is that it covers everything you need to know about each event. Not only can you read up on the history of one of the events and the significance, but it also offers you information on how to obtain tickets to the event and a lot

As a reward for notching his 500th career save against the Mets last night, the Yankees gave him the honor of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch in today's game. Needless to say he was also needed to throw the last pitch. Chamberlain sailed through five long innings and left with a 3-3 tie before the bullpen made things interesting and the game wound up in a 5-5 tie by the eighth

It's a Phoney! A Big Fat Phoney!

The list that was "leaked" yesterday containing the 103 names linked to the steroid survey was a fake. Of course smarter baseball fans knew that.First off, the survey found 104 positive users, the list contains 103. Actually 102...Jeremy Burnitz was listed twice.The list was listed by team order first, then by league. Days before the Mitchell Report was released, a similar list was "leaked", but

Unconfirmed list of the 2003 steroid survey

The supposed list of the 104 names that tested positive for steroids has been leaked...or so we think. This is NOT confirmed, so until it is, no names should be taken under consideration...except for the few on the Mitchell Report and the Grimsley Affidavit.1.Nomar Garciaparra2.Manny Ramirez3.Johnny Damon4.Trot Nixon5.David Ortiz6.Shea Hillenbrand7.Derek Lowe8.Pedro Martinez9.Brian Roberts10.Jay

A-Rod ties Reggie

Alex Rodriguez just tied Reggie Jackson with 563 career home runs tonight in the first inning against the Atlanta Braves giving the Yankees an early 2-0 lead. His home run was a solo shot to center field off pitcher Derek Lowe.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wang vs Hughes

Published on 2009-06-24 18:34:00

I mentioned this before, and now I am going to detail why Phil Hughes should be starting over Chein-Ming Wang.Both pitchers have made starts and both have seen bullpen duties with Hughes currently in the relief role.There has been a lot of speculation on why manager Joe Girardi is keeping Wang in the rotation as opposed to having Hughes, a starter his entire pro career. Is it because Wang

.500, Here we Come!

Published on 2009-06-21 19:41:00

After losing two of three to the worst team in baseball, two of three to the Marlins, and the entire season series to the Red Sox, I think it's safe to say the Yankees are close to play .500 ball.Now if they were a garbage team, this would be good news. However, they are not a garbage team so this is bad news.I guess it does help to be garbage if your pitching staff with the names of Sabathia

Wang Decision

Published on 2009-06-17 22:46:00

I still don't know why Wang is in the starting rotation. He is now 0-5 with an ERA higher than an obese person's blood pressure. Hughes on the other hand was a nice exception when he was in the rotation. So why is he demoted to bullpen duties?So far from what I have seen this season, Hughes should be a starter and Wang should be long relief...especially since Jose Veras was DFA'd. I'd throw

Yanks Pop Off to Mets

Published on 2009-06-13 00:16:00

You gotta love back and forth games.Joba was sloppy tonight getting into too many jams and reaching the 100 pitch count a bit early, very early actually. It seemed that either the Mets were stealing signs or he just never seemed to see eye-to-eye with Posada on what to throw. He would up walking the bases loaded, walked in the tying run, then hit the next batter for the go-ahead run in the

With the Number One Pick...

Published on 2009-06-09 22:34:00

...of the 2009 draft, the New York Yankees select...from Texas High School in Texarkana, Texas...Slade Heathcott.Heathcott is the first position player to be taken by the Yankees in the first round since Carl Henry back in 2005. He is a five-tool outfielder who brings plenty of promise to the future of the organization.His accomplishments include:* 2007 1st Team All-District* 2007 WSSSA World

The Yankees can beat the Blue Jays. They can beat the Rays. They can beat the Orioles. But dammit, they have no shot at beating the Red Sox. None, zippo, nada. Yankees might as well lost the rest of the season for a shot at the #1 pick in the draft.Oh wait.This isn't football.The draft started today.Damn.0-6 against the team they need to beat and it does not look like they will win at all

Matt vs Mike

Nuthin but a Homer

Four home runs were hit in today's festivities as the Yankees take two of three games in the series. Swisher went for #12 which is half of his 2008 totals. Teixeira's 18th bomb moves him ahead of his Rays counterpart Carlos Pena and Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz for tops in the AL. Only Adrian Gonzalez (also a 1B) has more with 22.Pettitte was his typical self and earning the win with former

It appears the Red Sox and the Yankees are going back to their classic fight for the AL East title. Last night Rivera became Brad Lidge and handed a win to the Rays as Boston defeated the Rangers and lost the division lead.Today was different. Rivera said no to the Rays and buckled down the save for another come-from-behind win by the Yankees. Yankees score three in the eighth by some sloppy

I did not see the game. Shame on me.Boston won, Tampa won, Jays sinking faster than the Titanic. Still tied for first and once again the best team in the AL. Tough series next week against the Rays as Boston welcomes Texas.Chein-Ming Wang made his second Yankees "debut" and it was the same stuff. Texas scores a few runs, Wang weeps. I don't get it. Before the injury last season Wang wa son
