As Mariano Rivera closes in on career save No. 600, Joe Girardi wants to know where all the attention is.
On Wednesday, the Yankees last home game before the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the three Yankees still with the team from that time sat down to share some remembrances and perspectives.
Robinson Cano hit a three-run homer into the Kauffman Stadium fountains, Russell Martin and Derek Jeter each drove in a pair and the New York Yankees beat the Kansas City Royals 9-7 on Tuesday night.
Derek Jeter had three hits and drove in three runs, including two with a go-ahead triple in the sixth inning, and struggling A.J. Burnett finally won a game in August for the Yankees in their 7-4 victory over the Royals on Monday night.

Despite the fact that the Bombers started slowly against Boston in 2009 and still won the World Series is meaningless to Yankees fans -- because they want Boston's blood. It's quite understandable considering this is baseball's – if not America's – iteration of the Hatfields and McCoys.
The relief pitching that had been a strength for the Yankees this weekend failed them in the end. That's the way it's going this season against the Red Sox.
The Yankees were on the verge of leaving Boston with the division lead and a chance to salvage what had been a lost season against the Red Sox. Then Mariano Rivera blew a save in the ninth.

Freddy Garcia (10-7) struck out six in six innings and allowed two runs on five hits to send the Yankees 22 games over .500, their highest point of the season.

After a solid first half, the Yankees enter the second portion of the season with question marks popping up all over the place. Ben Kabak joined me talk about what to expect from the Yankees in the coming months.
Last season at the All-Star break I did some Yankees midseason awards, so I thought it would be good to start a tradition here and do them for the second straight year.
