Despite injuries, things are looking good in the Bronx, where the Yankees just won three out of four games against the Red Sox.
If you're looking for any kind of contrition over Michael Pineda's mysterious substance from the Yankees, Yankees fans, or New Yorkers ... Fuhgeddaboudit. Especially if the demands come from the Red Sox, Red Sox Nation, or Bostonians.
Ex-MLB pitcher tells WFAN it's "not a big deal" that Yankees starter Michael Pineda appeared to have a foreign substance on his pitching hand against the Red Sox.
David Ortiz looked at a cell phone photograph of Michael Pineda's right hand, one with a brown substance smeared across the palm. Pine tar or dirt? It may never be clear.
Perhaps the game isn't too big for Yangervis Solarte. He has begun to prove that he's worthy of manning the patch of infield where A-Rod once strode, and not in a backup role, either.
Craig and Robert Wuhl discussed the questionable practices of Michael Pineda and wondered: Why didn't the Red Sox make a bigger stink?
"I'm very entrenched with the Yankees. My face and my career is more so shaded with the Yankees than it even is with Oakland. And I played in Oakland for nine years."
"Am I (supposed) to go home and say I faced Tanaka tonight? Just go throw a party that I faced Tanaka? It's another pitcher. Another pitcher in the rotation. Nothing special to me."
Jacoby Ellsbury will experience the Yankees-BoSox rivalry from a whole new perspective when he takes on his former team Thursday night.
With the dwindling attendance at professional sporting events becoming a bit of an issue, Craig has come up with a solution.
It's only fitting. Major League Baseball has honored the top closers in baseball for years, but soon will rename its awards after arguably the two best relievers to ever pick up a ball.
"We don't know if they come on the field with ... They can come give us either gummy bears or a shot in the a--. We don't know that ... It's not funny."

This is a follow-up from my previous column, where the question under consideration was: Is New York an American League city or a National League city?
There will be many words spoken and written about Derek Jeter between now and the end of this season. I'm not sure anybody will say it any better than "Core Four" member Jorge Posada.
Craig "the lifelong Mets fan" was in the Bronx on Monday afternoon for the Yankees' home opener. And he left Yankee Stadium a little upset...
Craig was there at the Stadium and was thrilled with the outcome, while Boomer sounded as if he is growing more and more annoyed with the nonstop Jeter fawning.
Robertson had an MRI earlier in the day that revealed the injury. He has posted two saves this season and has allowed one hit in three scoreless innings.
Derek Jeter gave Yangervis Solarte some assistance with Yankee Stadium tradition, then the rookie helped make the captain a winner in his final home opener Monday as New York beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-2.
Opening Day, Bronx, New York, USA. And yes, we still get chills, no matter our age or wage.
Yankees fans will have at least 80 more chances -- hopefully -- to say goodbye to Derek Jeter. But the first had a special feel to it, thanks to some old friends.
Masahiro Tanaka, who landed in the Bronx like other high-end Japanese players -- wrapped in a foreign flag, mystery and millions -- pitched with the chutzpah of a native New Yorker. He was tough, talented and unrelenting.
Blocking the plate used to be an "at your own risk" proposition for a catcher. MLB is trying to change that. Unfortunately, as we saw in Saturday's 4-0 Yankees loss to the Blue Jays, it's not going to be so easy.
