After suffering through a dreadful Thursday Night Football matchup, Boomer and Craig declare this week's Giants-Texans game a 'must-win' for the Giants.
If this doesn't give you chills, call your doctor. You need to be checked for a pulse.
Derek Jeter, who's spent his career in long sleeves under the brown leaves of the World Series, will play his last game this month. And it turns out his farewell was far more hollow than he hoped.
Even if he successfully completes one or two 75-pitch starts without complaint, there is no assurance that Tanaka will be able to avoid surgery.
New York Yankees third baseman Chase Headley says he "wasn't thrilled" by Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon's word choice.
The Bombers' best lineup next year will have Alex Rodriguez as their full-time DH. Wow, I can't believe I just said that either.
The clock is ticking on the playing career of one Derek Jeter, so Boomer and Craig set aside the dark cloud that continues to linger over the NFL for a few minutes.
"I don't know what they expect. You hit five of our guys in four games. You don't think we'll be pissed?"
Getting themselves eliminated in the AL East race Monday night was one thing. Turning the near future of Masahiro Tanaka irrelevant was quite another.
Masahiro Tanaka is likely to rejoin the New York Yankees' rotation Sunday after an absence of more than two month.
Prado has been a solid performer for the Yankees, posting a .316 batting average with seven homers and 16 RBIs in 37 games since being obtained from Arizona on July 31.
Derek Jeter's final season now has no chance of ending with an AL East title. "It's frustrating," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said after Monday night's loss.
Derek Jeter, in an 0-for-24 slump, was out of the New York Yankees' starting lineup at Tampa Bay on Monday night.
Masahiro Tanaka pitched five scoreless innings against minor leaguers in an instructional-league simulated game Monday, perhaps the final step before the injured Japanese pitcher rejoins the Yankees.
It didn't matter that David Robertson had already pitched two days in a row. The Yankees desperately needed to preserve a ninth-inning lead, and their closer insisted he was capable.
Jimmy Paredes hit a two-run double with two outs in the 11th inning to rally the Baltimore Orioles past the New York Yankees 2-1 Friday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.
"The bottom line, to just keep it simple, is we've just got to win games," said Yankees general manager Brian Cashman. Picking up two on Friday would be a nice start.
"If he pitched in a big-league game or two and felt good, you wouldn't do surgery on a guy that felt good," Girardi said. "That's the bottom line."
Even the Bombers acknowledge they are running out of time. With just 20 games remaining, they have a 5½-game deficit to overcome for the AL's second wild card.
Left fielder Matt Joyce threw out Stephen Drew in the fifth inning when catcher Ryan Hanigan blocked the sliding runner, and the Tampa Bay Rays held on to beat the fading New York Yankees 4-3 Tuesday night.
The Yankees honored their glorious recent past by celebrating the retiring Derek Jeter in an elaborate ceremony prior to their latest game. The present doesn't look anywhere near as good.
So as we mull over this year, let us also take a premature look at next year in anticipation of life without Jeter in 2015.
Forget everything you think you know about the Subway Series. The Yankees and Mets unveiled their 2015 schedules on Monday and the annual series between the clubs have been shifted.
In the middle of his postgame news conference on Derek Jeter Day, the New York Yankees' captain took a moment to answer a reporter's cellphone.
If you saw the conga line of luminaries honoring Derek Jeter at Yankee Stadium on Sunday, you realize his deeds reached way west of the Hudson.
