And if you need more proof that the Yankees' ship is tanking, a Steinbrenner spouted off on Wednesday. Well, to the extent that the way more laconic Hal does these days.
Steinbrenner said he will wait until after the season to turn his attention to a new deal for Cashman, whose contract is expiring. Cashman has been the Yankees' general manager since 1998.
Sounding much like his late father, Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner says his team's offense has to snap out of its funk. A-Rod in the lineup would be nice right about now.
Maybe Yankees manager Joe Girardi got lucky with his 26th career ejection: He didn't have to watch from the dugout as New York blew a late lead in a painful defeat.
Jonathan Schoop and Adam Jones homered in a four-run eighth inning, and the Baltimore Orioles rallied to beat the New York Yankees 5-3 Wednesday night for a two-game sweep of the rain-shortened series.
It was not quite said with his father's famed intensity, but the message was the same. A Steinbrenner is not happy with the Yankees.
Masahiro Tanaka, who has been out since July 8 with a small tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, threw nearly a dozen fastballs from the stretch off flat ground on Wednesday.
A lot of people didn't view Brandon McCarthy as a significant upgrade when the Yankees acquired him back in July. Six starts later it's hard to imagine them being in a playoff race of any kind without him.
With 44 games remaining, the Yankees do not possess the fear-inducing aura of Bronx Bombers teams of recent vintage. And unless the front office changes its philosophy, it's only going to get worse.
The Yanks still have hope, and thus they're rushing a pitcher back from the DL. The Mets, as usual, think about next year with a prize prospect. It's like night and day.
The game was scrubbed four hours before the scheduled 7 p.m. start time. Shane Greene (3-1) had been set to face Baltimore's Wei-Yin Chen (12-4).
"Everyone's saying it's a great play, but that's where he's supposed to be," Showalter said prior to the Yankees' loss on Monday.
Derek Jeter would hate to slip into retirement without one last foray into the postseason, yet with every defeat comes the realization that his final season could end before October.
Rounding things out, the guys reflected a bit on the life of Robin Williams. He was 63 years old and will certainly be missed.
Prior to getting suspended and subsequently going on the DL, Pineda was 2-2 with a 1.83 ERA in four starts. He struck out 15 and walked just three in 19 2/3 innings.
Is Wagner still the greatest shortstop of all time? A year ago, I would have said "Absolutely!" Now I am not so sure. This brings us to Derek Jeter.
One-time AL batting champ, five-time All-Star, five-time World Series champion. Paul O'Neill was the ultimate warrior.
Given the Bombers' issues, winning this series against Detroit's All-World guns is sort of like the Boy Scouts beating up a SWAT team.
Shane Greene capped a series of fine starting pitching, working into the ninth inning as the New York Yankees edged the Detroit Tigers 1-0 on Thursday.
After docs removed a bone spur last week, Sabathia acknowledged his knee probably wouldn't return to 100 percent. It wasn't much of a surprise when the comment made headlines.
After beating the second of Detroit's three Cy Young Award winners, the Yankees have one more tough pitcher to deal with on Thursday.
He lost his colossal fastball, his control and his craft. And thus ended the Joba Chamberlain Experiment. By the time he returned to his ancestral home, the bullpen, he was a pitching carcass.
Heading to the Yankees game on Wednesday night? You could be in for a special kind of treat. When you walk into the stadium -- and especially if you're buying tickets -- you might run into some familiar faces.
We love our sports teams, which means we hate the ones that try getting in the way. What can we say? We're passionate about these things.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Tanaka made 50 throws from 60 feet before Tuesday night's game against Detroit. That's twice as many tosses as Tanaka took Monday in his first action since being shut down in early July.
