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

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

The supposed list of the 104 names that tested positive for steroids has been leaked...or so we think.

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.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

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

...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

This video has been circulating the interwebs recently as a live FOX game between the Phillies and Dodgers made somewhat second page headlines.Home plate umpire Mike Winters calls out Dodgers OFer Matt Kemp only to exchange a few words not usually suitable for a Saturday afternoon game.

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.

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.

The error free streak is ovah! Jorge Posada, in an attempt to throw out a base runner, threw wildly at Robinson Cano who missed the ball and let it trickle to the outfield scoring the first E in 18 games.The error was meaningless as the Yankees put a seven spot in the fourth with some hard baseball. First Teixeira was smacked in the ribs and given first base. A-Rod trickled a ball to the

Stand aside Boston, Yankees are here to claim another record. And a defensive record at that. In 2006 the Boston Red Sox set a record for playing in 17 consecutive error free games. Tonight the Yankees made it 18 in a row. That's 162 innings without an error. No bobbles, no dropped balls, nothing of the matter.One would think that in the 150+ years of MLB history that this record would be a

After all the final at-bat wins the Yankees have done it was only a matter of time before the tables turned. Yankees provided their trademark late inning drama against the Indians tying the game 4-4 in the ninth only to have Cleveland score one in their half. Bats were sleepy for the most part and even though Hughes was doing very well, the Indians were slightly better.Speaking of Hughes, he has

With a 3-1 win over the Cleveland Indians, the Yankees are in first place in the AL East for the first time since April 16 of last year.With this win, Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte set the record for most saves by a reliever and starter combination with 58.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yankees and Red Sox fighting for the AL East crown, just like back in the day...two seasons ago. Blue Jays are falling and falling fast and the Rays just aren't last years Rays.

Well, it's been a while since I last posted something here. Spring Training has arrived and gone with the Yankees taking the top record in the Grapefruit League. Season has started out a bit slow, but not like last season. A nice nine-game winning streak with plenty of ninth-inning drama captured old dreams of division winning teams. A-Rod came back with a bang, then a fizzle, then more

Well, after being a tab bit lazy and a nice hard drive crash, I think it's safe to say that I can call this a return. I still need to update the stats and finalize them for the season and prepare for a long, yet active off-season for the Yankees.Joba Chamberlain,who has been reported to be in the rotation next season, was arrested early Saturday morning for driving under the influence, speeding

Instant replay was used for the first time ever last night in the Yankees 8-3 win over the first place Tampa Rays.In the top of the ninth inning, Alex Rodriguez came up to bat and smashed a 2-2 pitched over the foul pole, and then hooking foul behind the pole, but in front of the useless foul pole extension 20 feet behind the legal pole.The umpires initially rules it a home run and Rays cacher

It's quite obvious that the Yankees will not reach the playoffs for the first time since 1995. I have already made my concession speech, and accepted the fact that October will be a long month. So, as part of my 12-step program to overcome my addiction to post-season glory (I say that with a grain of salt), I will have a small countdown with a few facts until the day of reckoning is upon us.15.

There is no beating around the bush, no sweet way to say it, nothing.The. Yankees. Flat. Out. Suck.One of the most potent offenses on paper but when it's game time, nothing happens. Poor clutch hitting, hitting with RISP is laughable, and when we have a great start by a pitcher, we give him no run support.The Yankees do not in any way deserve the playoffs and are damn lucky to have a winning

Joba Chamberlain was placed on the 15 day disabled list following an exit during his outing against the Texas Rangers.He was sent to Dr. Andrews, a prestigious Tommy John surgeon, who reported the outlook was good. No surgery needed.This does hurt the Yankees playoff hopes with a crippled staff. Wang is already out, and Pettitte has been hit and miss lately. After the 8-game win streak

Yankees sent middle reliever Kyle Farnsworth to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for Ivan Rodriguez. Rodriguez has won 13 gold gloves through out his career with Texas and Detroit and was named to 14 All-Star teams.Granted Pudge is in his 18th season and is older than Posada, he is a veteran, and the Yankees need one especially with the young pitching.His presence in the line up is a boost for the

Jorge Posada will undergo season-ending surgery on his shoulder.Posada, who signed a four year $52.4 million contract before the season began, started the season on the DL, made a short appearance as a DH, 1B, and backstop batting .268 with 3 home runs and 33 RBI in 51 games. His batting, slugging, and on base percentages are well below career average and as a catcher, has thrown out a smidgen

Fresh off a series victory in Fenway Park, the Yankees head into the final two months of the season thick in the middle of the AL East race. The Bombers currently stand 3 games behind the soon-to-be-fading Rays and the will-inevitably-be-there-until-the-end Red Sox. This should come as no surprise, as the Yankees, despite their many mishaps over the years (signing Giambi to an A-list contract

After winning nine straight division titles, and making the playoffs every year since 1995, the dynasty known as the Yankees are in a decline.Last season we saw the Yankees stumble out of the gate only to regain their footage, make a run towards the playoffs fitted with young stars who came up and damn near saved the season. Oh, they also had an MVP named Alex Rodriguez.This season is almost a

For everyone who thought Joba moving out of the bullpen was a bad idea, smack yourself in the face. Even me.Joba out-pitched Red Sox "ace" Josh Beckett striking out nine and allowing no runs en rout to a 1-0 victory. Jason Giambi drove in the sole run in the third inning, and Mariano Rivera recorded a five-out save.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Pittsburgh Pirates have dealt OF Xavier Nady and reliever Damaso Marte to the Yankees for Ross Ohlendorf, Jose Tabata, Jeff Karstens, and Dan McCutchen.Original reports of the deal included two Yankees Minor League pitchers, Phil Coke and George Kontos, who are no longer included in the trade.Marte is scouted to be a great pitcher with closer material.

After a rocky first half of the season, Yankees reliever Kyle Farnswroth has thrown nine consecutive hitless innings finishing the "no-no" with a scoreless 8th inning against the Minnesota Twins. He allowed 1 walk and three strikeouts en rout to this minuet achievement.Congrats Farnsworth on a great turn around.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have heard different stories on this subject, and I am going to make one thing clear.Jonathan Papelbon has no right to pitch the final inning of the All-Star Game. He does not deserve it, he did not earn it, and he has not made any history in Yankee Stadium.Terry Francona should be in the right mindset to have Mariano Rivera pitch the ninth inning, no matter what.Rivera was won four World

The weekends would have been best for me since I didn't have to leave work, and I could prep myself for the game. I saw that the Red Sox were coming to town and decided, that's the game for me.

A slight change in the Yankees pitching rotation affects my boss and I. He's going to a Yankees game tomorrow thinking that Joba Chamberlain is pitching. However, since Joba pitched over 110 pitches in his last outing, Joe Girardi decided to switch Joba's and Mussina's spots.So instead of Joba Monday, he will see Mussina.This also affects my game since Joba would have had a good chance of

So, it is official, I am a slacker. Been a month since my last posting, the Yankees have moved up in the power rankings, and are currently riding on a seven-game winning streak sweeping both the Astros and Padres in interleague play.During this stretch, starter Chein-Ming Wang injured his foot while running past third to score a run.

The rumor circulating about a Red Sox jersey buried in the cement of New Yankee Stadium have been long confirmed. Yes, a Red Sox fan working as a construction worker to help with the building of the new stadium was a target of speculation on burring a Red Sox jersey in the new stadium.This immediately made the news here in New York about a possible jinx with a piece of the rivals uniform

A new baseball season dawns on us, and with that comes new games.I had a chance to get a hold of the newest copy of MLB 2008: The Show and I have to say I am quite impressed.

Athletic's staff have offered Joe Blanton (14-10/140/3.95) to the Yankees for both Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes. What, why? I know the A's are expected to be cellar dwellers, but the even considerer the fact that the Steinbrenner Reich will make such a lop sided trade is, well.....-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's a season for America. The smell of hot dogs in the walk-ways, the sound of the die hards screaming across the field, and the beautiful green grass in which tradition plays out. This is baseball, our national pastime, our savior during the Great Depression, it kept our hopes up during the second world war, and now with an international influx, a world renowned sport. My love for this sport

Over the past few years, the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox have been the center of the baseball universe. The Yankees were making the playoffs every year, and the Red Sox were still looking up. 2004 things changed when the Sox made history by coming back from 0-3 in the American League Championship Series to top the Yankees an advance to the World Series and sweeping St Louis for their

The Yankees and the Twins have started talking about bring Johan Santana to the Yankees in exchange for Joba Chamberlain, Ian Kennedy, and Phil Hughes.If Brian Cashman agrees to this term, then he needs to get out of New York before I personally force him.The Yankees have spent a great deal of time rebuilding a weak farm system and have produced three great pitching prospects that could spell the

This is his third award and his second (2004) since arriving in New York.Rodriguez opened the season with stunning come from behind home runs and finished with 54 by season's end.Rodriguez has already won the Clutch Player of the Year handed out in early November.A-Rod lead the majors in almost

Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees have agreed to a 10-year $275 million contract that should lock of the future Hall of Famer for the remainder of his career.An added bonus will be put in the contract if A-Rod breaks the all-time home run record (which should rightfully be returned to Hank Aaron after today's federal indictments).Alex Rodriguez was a #1 draft pick by the Seattle Mariners

***This is official***Jorge Posada (.338/20/90) has reportedly re-signed with the Yankees franchise for a four-year $52.4 million. This is well deserved of some back pay in which the 36 year-old catcher is due from his success with the Yankees and coming of one of the greatest seasons all-time by a catcher.Posada will be crucial in the development of the young pitching in helping with in-game

Roger Clemens, barring Alzheimer's, may pitch for Team USA in the 2008 Summer Olympics.After retiring in 2001 and 2006, Clemens is attempting to outdo the Energizer Bunny.His return to the Yankees this year was subpar and missed two outings due to injury while sporting a 6-6 record and a 4+ ERA.In his stint in the 2006 World Baseball Classic, Clemens went 1-1.If Clemens does pitch in the Olymics,

The Yankees and the Florida Marlins have been talking about the possibility of bring over third baseman Miguel Cabrera.Cabrera (.320/34/119) could bring in a potential bat with improved offense and is a lifetime .313 hitter, however, his fielding percentage is not something to be admired.Cabrera, a four-time NL All-Star, committed a career high 32 errors while sporting a .941 fielding
