Mark Teixeira's season is over. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said before Game 5 Wednesday that Teixeira is being replaced on the roster by Eduardo Nunez.
One pitch. A pitch that zigged when it should have zagged, as it should have, as it had to, morphing into a microcosm of A.J. Burnett's career and framing the unbending illogic of his bosses.
It's beyond stupid. Joe Girardi, maybe thinking it was a Little League game or a Tuesday night game in Kansas City in May, defied Baseball 101 and decided to put the go-ahead run on base.
With pitchers ruling these playoffs, Matt Cain made it six shutouts — a half-dozen, count 'em! — in only 22 games this postseason.
Strange things happen in right field at Yankee Stadium. In the latest playoff ruckus to arise in that small corner of the Bronx, Yankees hit a pair of disputed drives over the fence in Game 4 of the ALCS.
No disputing this: The Texas Rangers are routing the New York Yankees and are now just one win from their first trip to the World Series.
Mark Teixeira's season ended in a painful grimace instead of a jubilant celebration.
When A.J. Burnett talked to the media following the second to last disaster in his season he said things that made my distaste for him grow. At the time I didn't think I could like him any less than I already did.
The Chicago Cubs picked Mike Quade as their new manager Tuesday, choosing to go with the guy who ran the team well for the last six weeks of last season rather than a higher-profile name.
Much like everyone simply assumed Cliff Lee would dominate the Yankees in Game two, everyone thinks that A.J. Burnett is a lock to get rocked in Game 4.
After losing two of three to open the AL championship series, New York manager Joe Girardi still remains committed to his plan.
Josh Hamilton received no cheers for this home run at Yankee Stadium.
Andy Pettitte pulled his cap down low, peeked over his glove into home plate and gave yet another gutsy postseason performance. Too bad for him this one came against Cliff Lee.
The Yankees held a moment of silence for Freddy "Sez" Schuman before Game 3 of the ALCS against Texas, as fans chanted "Fred-dy! Fred-dy!"
With the Yankees trailing Texas 2-1 in the AL championship series following an 8-0 loss, A.J. Burnett starts Game 4 Tuesday night trying to get New York back to even.
