Before saying goodbye, Craig tagged Butch as the new 'go-to guy' when it comes to baseball on the Morning Extravaganza...
If New York manages to storm back from a 3-0 series deficit, it won't be CC Sabathia on the hill for a deciding Game 7. Blame it on the rain.
CC Sabathia inspires belief. And that's exactly what the Yankees are in desperate need of going into Game 4 of the ALCS down 3-0.
The Yankees' backs are against the wall, but it takes four games to win -- a fact New York knows all too well.
Though he's not so great at the wave, Donald Trump knows how to deliver a stinging critique.
Alex Rodriguez has been ice-cold at the plate this postseason, but the Yankees slugger could also have some explaining to do for his reported actions on the bench late in Game 1 of the ALCS.
Nobody wants a player of Cano's ability to get himself thrown out of a game, but could he at least show us he has a pulse?
Uh-oh. There's trouble in paradise. Hurt by jabs, jeers and insults from the home crowd, off-and-on fan favorite Swisher acknowledged Sunday he wasn't much in the mood for roll call at Yankee Stadium.
"The technology is available," said Girardi. "That's what our country has done. We have evolved technology to make things better. Yeah, let's have instant replay. And not just, not just home run, fair, foul. Let's have instant replay."
If Derek Jeter's on-field mortality indeed represents the death of Yankee dominance, then you can still say it was one helluva run. No matter when the end, all empires fall, even Evil ones.
This team is begging for leaders, and Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano are the next in line. If they have it in them, they will be in line to receive the spoils of Yankee greatness. It not, this season will be over in just a couple days.
Detroit Tigers capitalized on a missed call by an umpire to beat New York 3-0 Sunday for a 2-0 lead in the AL championship series.
Raul Ibanez's role will increase against the Tigers' parade of right-handed starters and will be a key figure in the Yankees' hopes of reaching the World Series.
It all comes down to this: a do-or-die Game 5 at Yankee Stadium. New York has to like its chances with Sabathia on the mound.
A-Rod is suddenly expendable. And moveable. Not good. We'll see what happens this afternoon in Game 5 -- he could look back on this series as the beginning of the end.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi won't know until Friday whether his bullpen will include Chamberlain, who has had enough mound misfortunes to fill a horror film.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Formerly fearsome hitters Curtis Granderson and Alex Rodriguez could both be sacrificed in a drastically different Yankees lineup Friday.
The celebrations have passed -- and Game 4 will provide a fresh challenge for Rodriguez and the Yankees.
Don't worry about what's right or wrong, or better yet what makes sense. We'll just keep making it up as we go along.
"I trust our guys," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I'm with them every day. I'm with their approach every day, and it's important that they trust me."
The Hit King has spoken: If you thought Derek Jeter would one day break MLB's all-time hits record, think again.
There's nowhere for A-Rod to hide -- Joe Girardi isn't ready to drop him in the batting order. As the Yankees' No. 3 hitter, he's going to have to start carrying his share of the load.
Playoff under-performers Nick Swisher and Mark Teixeira have gotten off to a hot start in the ALDS.
It's a new season, one Pettitte knows better than most. On Monday night, he'll have his eye on No. 20 -- as in career postseason victories.
They say everything changes in October. New heroes are born and others fall from greatness. That was certainly the case Sunday night.
