Jerry's first update of the morning started with another Yankees loss in September.
The movement to rename River Ave. in the Bronx after Mariano Rivera is gaining steam -- just not on the Boomer & Carton morning show.
Every game is now a must-win for the Yankees. The team knows it. Their fans know it. Manager Joe Girardi knows it. "You'd have to have your head in the sand not to know," the skipper said before Wednesday's big win.
Some might call it just the kind of win to help propel a magical run to the playoffs. Craig is one such individual.
Andy Pettitte, the most decorated, pinstriped pitcher since Whitey Ford, is inching toward the twilight, one gutty cutter at a time. His humble, aw-shucks refrain is so charming and understated that we don't even acknowledge him.
Wait, a professional ballplayer cheering on his AL East rivals? That seems odd, but Dickey isn't about to make any apologies.
"I don't think we should rename it," Craig Carton said. "And I know we all go, 'But Craig, he was so good. He's the best ever. We should rename a street after him.' Why? Why am I renaming River Avenue 'Rivera Avenue?'"
Andy Pettitte is frustrated, Joe Girardi is worried and the Yankees need to snap their losing streak in the worst way. The Bombers might not be in must-win territory just yet, but they sure are getting there in a hurry.
Tuesday night was supposed to be the start of something special for the Yankees, as they embarked on what Craig hoped to be a magical 10-2 run to finish out the regular season...
It raises a uniquely New York paradox. Can the Yankees miss the playoffs and still be a success? Can you wear your Jeter Snuggie through a fall and winter wasteland of hot-stove chatter? Yes.
Good news! The Bombers will take on two last-place teams, a fourth-place team and a current wild card leader down the stretch as they fight for an American League playoff spot.
It starts tonight in Toronto with Andy Pettitte going up against R.A. Dickey and the Blue Jays...
With legendary closer Mariano Rivera set to retire at the end of the season, Robinson Cano has faith that a higher power will help the Yanks and Mo secure a coveted Wild Card berth.
"A great ceremony. Great," the Yankees closer said. "Well done. Humbling. At the same time, I definitely appreciate what the Red Sox organization did. I will never forget it."
As the Yankees continue to surge then sputter, surge then sputter, I keep hearing from fans about how this team lacks heart and desire. Seriously? That's about all this team has.
"I've had a calf injury before, and those are tricky," A-Rod said. "They're very dangerous. I'm hoping that I came out of the game before something really bad happened."
The Red Sox played highlights from one of the low points in Rivera's career, his blown save in Game 4 of the 2004 AL championship series.
The Yankees lost their second straight after a three-game winning streak and fell 2 1/2 games behind Tampa Bay for the AL's second wild-card spot.

Sadly, Derek Jeter will force the Yankees to yank him from the infield, literally rip the uniform off his increasingly creaky body. He won't go quietly.
