Joba Chamberlain was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a stiff elbow, leaving the Yankees' bullpen in dire straits.
Kevin Millar (pictured above with his hero David Ortiz) played for the Boston Red Sox from 2003-05, so he knows a thing or two about their little rivalry with the Yankees. With that in mind Al "Hughes" Dukes reached out to Millar and scheduled him to be part of today's fun.
With the Red Sox and Yankees battling out in the Bronx, Boomer & Craig instructed Al "Hughes" Dukes to book John Flaherty to call in and offer his take.
To say Yankees radio play-by-play man John Sterling has a style all his own would be an understatement -- but I said it so now you're forced to deal with it.
Jerry "Rello" Recco has been in the locker room countless times playing the role of reporter, so he understands what they can be up against. Well, when Joe Girardi and A.J. Burnett got a little snippy with the media, Jerry defended his comrades and got a little snippy himself while doing so.
On Monday morning, Craig coined the three-game Red Sox-Yankees series in the Bronx as a "grand re-opening" of the Major League Baseball season. Yikes.
David Ortiz hit one of three Boston homers to back a tireless Tim Wakefield and the Red Sox extended their domination of the Yankees this season, beating New York 11-6 on Wednesday night to take over first place in the AL East.
The New York Yankees' roster is seriously lacking in depth and it's up to general manager Brian Cashman to play catch-up to the superior Boston Red Sox. There are many needs that Cashman must address as the trade deadline approaches.
Joba Chamberlain has been placed on the disabled list with a strained flexor muscle, Joe Girardi said on Wednesday.
How should the Yankees handle David Ortiz's theatrics? The genteel response is to assert the only way to stop such celebrations is to keep him from hitting home runs. Since that is impossible and, frankly, the meek man's way of handling Big Papi, I must side with the second solution. Drill him.
While one bad loss doesn't erase what the Yankees have accomplished since the last time the Red Sox were in town, it sure feels like it.
The Yankees understand the occasional loss is merely a part of baseball. Just don't show them up in Yankee Stadium.
Mark Teixeira held his knee and writhed in pain near home plate, thinking the worst after being hit by a pitch from Jon Lester. "I've never seen him show that much pain before," manager Joe Girardi said.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi got to know Dante Bichette Jr. long before New York selected him with its first pick in the baseball draft. Now, Girardi could get a chance to guide the slugging 18-year-old as a budding big league ballplayer.
Jim Leyritz hit a couple of monumental home runs for the Yankees and was a member of two World Series winning teams in the Bronx. He had an 11-year big league career, but will likely be remembered for his trouble with the law.
