With the Mets washed out on Wednesday night, Steve updated everyone on the bad boys of NFL and MLB. A-Rod, Braylon Edwards and Osi Umenyiora... oh my!
Derek Jeter had five hits, Curtis Granderson drove in five runs and the surging New York Yankees pounded Gavin Floyd and the Chicago White Sox 18-7 on Wednesday night.
Yankees star Alex Rodriguez may face a suspension from Major League Baseball for participating in an "underground, illegal poker game" that featured cocaine use and "thugs threatening players," according to RadarOnline.com.
Mark Prior's comeback may have hit another snag. The converted reliever suffered a bruised left forearm on Wednesday after being hit by a ball during batting practice.
Phil Hughes wanted to show the Yankees that they could trust him -- and his fastball. Consider it done, at least for one start.
Eddie Murray and Chili Davis had shared the MLB record with Mark Teixeira by homering from both sides in the same game 11 total times. Make it 12 for Mark.
Mark Teixeira set a major league record by homering from both sides of the plate for the 12th time and Phil Hughes pitched six innings to send the New York Yankees to their fifth straight victory, 6-0 over the fading Chicago White Sox.
How did a busy trade deadline affect Tuesday's Top 10? Take a look.
CC Sabathia pitched eight strong innings to earn his major league-best 16th win and the New York Yankees beat the Chicago White Sox 3-2 on Monday for their fourth consecutive victory.
As good as Jimenez has been, he is not being traded at the same level that Johan Santana and CC Sabathia were a few years ago. Remember—the Yankees twice traded for Javier Vazquez off the best year of his career, and he didn't become what they had hoped either time.
The Yankees general manager decided he liked the hand he held and passed on the chance to add to New York's roster Sunday at the July 31 deadline for trades without waivers.
Freddy Garcia (10-7) struck out six in six innings and allowed two runs on five hits to send the Yankees 22 games over .500, their highest point of the season.
Robinson Cano, Nick Swisher and the New York Yankees broke loose for 12 runs in the first inning Saturday night, setting a franchise record en route to a 17-3 rout of the Baltimore Orioles that completed a painfully embarrassing sweep of their split doubleheader.
Nick Swisher had three hits, including a two-run homer, and the New York Yankees backed Bartolo Colon with plenty of production from the bottom of their lineup to beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-3 Saturday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.
Jeremy Guthrie shut down the New York Yankees for seven innings, perhaps driving up his price in a trade, and the Baltimore Orioles got homers from Mark Reynolds and Derrek Lee in a 4-2 victory Friday night.
At 18-months-old John Lahutsky was declared incurable with cerebral palsy and didn't see the outside of a Russian orphanage for years.
Derek Jeter has tied Babe Ruth as the greatest Yankee of all time among New York City baseball fans. For that, No. 2 can thank the female fan for voting for him in droves.
The Los Angeles County coroner's office is investigating the apparent suicide of Hideki Irabu, the embattled former Yankees pitcher who was found dead in his home in the wealthy suburb of Rancho Palos Verdes.
On Staten Island, a young woman is not letting her serious conditions hold her back from helping those in need, and now the Bronx Bombers have come to help her.
Derek Jeter allowed cameras to follow him during his pursuit of 3,000 hits partly because "if and when" he has children, he'd like them to be able to see him as a player.
Dependable Dodger starter Hiroki Kuroda makes a better trade deadline fit for the New York Yankees than Ubaldo Jimenez or for that matter any available starter on the trade block. It wouldn't take a massive deal to land the services of the Japanese hurler.
The New York Yankees may have lost to the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday, but some kids from Haiti who lost just about everything were big winners as HOPE Week continued.
In the middle of HOPE Week, Phil Hughes gave the Yankees a little more hope as they get closer to the trading deadline.
CC Sabathia did his best job matching a legendary performance of Yankee great Ron Guidry on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. If not for the elements, CC may have equaled or surpassed Guidry's team record of 18 strikeouts.
Eric Chavez was activated from the 60-day disabled list and started at third base in the Yankees' 4-1 win over Seattle on Tuesday night. "Frustration was pretty high," Chavez said before going 1 for 3 with an RBI. "I'm glad I'm back."
