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.

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."
Delmon Young, Adam Jones and Matt Wieters homered as the Baltimore Orioles teed off for 20 hits, battering the New York Yankees 14-5 Tuesday.
If his first start was any indication, Masahiro Tanaka very much belongs in the majors. But on Wednesday, he'll need to pass a smell test in the Bronx.
The 25-year-old Cabral made his major-league debut last year with the Yankees, pitching 3 2/3 innings. He had a 0.00 ERA in 9 1/3 innings during spring training this year.

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.
Boomer and Craig's perception with regards to the significance of today's game differed a bit, which is a good thing in the radio business.
The New York Yankees have placed first baseman Mark Teixeira on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring and recalled catcher Austin Romine from Triple-A Scranton.
The Yankees may want to hold on to the guy because he could very well end up being a key component this season. All this talk, at least by the television announcers, of possibly trading Ichiro, should stop immediately.
