Mark Teixeira hit a grand slam and Nick Swisher had a three-run drive in a nine-run third inning and the New York Yankees ambushed the Oakland Athletics early for a 17-7 victory in the searing heat Friday night.
Eric Chavez may be a forgotten man to some but he can fill multiple areas of need for the Yankees when he returns from the disabled list. He can bridge the gap at third base while A-Rod is recovering and spell Mark Teixeira at first base.
Tampa Bay Rays All-Star James Shields won for the first time in nearly a month, outpitching CC Sabathia and beating the New York Yankees 2-1 on Thursday night.
Few players have fit into the culture of the New York Yankees as easily as Curtis Granderson. Wednesday night's heroics was just another example of why Granderson is key to the Yankee cause.
Tropicana Field really is a strange place. After the weirdness there this week, I'm waiting to see what's next? The fish tank in right-center explodes? I don't know if we'll ever see a new stadium for the Rays, but the old one doesn't have many supporters.
Yankees minor league manager Luis Sojo has had many unexpected visitors in his office, including late New York owner George Steinbrenner and one-time teammate Bernie Williams. But nothing quite like this.
Curtis Granderson backed a solid pitching performance by Freddy Garcia with a two-run homer, leading the New York Yankees to a 4-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday night.
HBO will air its much-awaited documentary on Derek Jeter's march to 3,000 hits on Thursday, July 28 at 9 p.m. Jeter agreed to let camera crews follow him at home and while he was rehabilitating a calf injury. Oh yeah, there's also that long blast from Saturday, July 9 -- Jeter's 3,000th hit.
The Yankees have placed reliever Sergio Mitre on the 15-day disabled list because of right shoulder inflammation. The move was made before Tuesday night's 3-2 loss to Tampa Bay.
Jeremy Hellickson pitched seven strong innings and Tampa Bay took advantage of sloppy New York defense to score two runs that gave the Rays a 3-2 victory over the Yankees on Tuesday night.
The Yankees and Rockies are reportedly far apart in preliminary talks for starter Ubaldo Jimenez. In fact, Colorado might not even be willing to trade their ace. That won't stop the Bombers from sending a representative to Coors Field.
Sure, New York escaped with a win on Monday, but after bad outings by veteran pitchers Bartolo Colon, Freddy Garcia and now A.J. Burnett, do the Yankees need to bolster their starting staff?
The streak was snapped on Monday night, but not before the Yankees' Double-A affiliate in Trenton set a team attendance record by selling out six straight home games, including two in which Derek Jeter appeared in rehabilitation starts.
Yankees infielder Ramiro Pena had an appendectomy on Monday was placed on the 15-day disabled list. "Unfortunately on his (26th) birthday. It will be a birthday I'm sure he'll never forget," manager Joe Girardi said before the Yankees' 5-4 win over Tampa Bay.
Bartolo Colon hasn't been effective for the Yankees in his last two starts. The Bombers will need their veteran to turn it around, starting Tuesday night in Tampa Bay.
The Yankees won their third straight on Monday night, beating the Rays 5-4 after Russell Martin drew a ninth-inning, bases-loaded walk -- but the win didn't come without some adversity.
Russell Martin drew a bases-loaded walk with two outs in the top of the ninth inning, giving the New York Yankees a 5-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night.
Two of the dominant players of the 1980's and Big Apple baseball legends Don Mattingly and Keith Hernandez have been overlooked by Hall of Fame voters over the years and deserve reconsideration.
While I failed to harpoon the heart of every bromance with the captain last week, we agree on one thing: there will come a day when Derek Jeter is no longer the starting shortstop for the Yankees, and that day is about two years away.
Rockies pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez is interesting, but he's not the perfect-fit, no-questions-asked upgrade Yankees fans have pined for since Cliff Lee escaped them last July and last December.
Even with his early season struggles, the Rockies aren't about to deal away 19-game winner Ubaldo Jimenez for peanuts. "We would have to be absolutely overwhelmed. It would have to be a Herschel Walker deal," Colorado GM Dan O'Dowd said this weekend.
When A.J. Burnett first joined the Yankees, he couldn't lose to the Rays. Now he can't beat them. He had better figure it out, because there are major playoff implications at stake in this four-game series.
Yankees radio play-by-play man John Sterling was up to his old tricks over the weekend in Toronto. Despite the Morning Extravaganza being off, Boomer & Craig paid the Sterling Saturday gaffe it's proper due this morning...
While listening to Yankees catcher Russell Martin pay homage to Phil Hughes, Craig noticed some whistling -- and apparently that's a no-no in a men's locker room.
Boomer was proud of the US women's efforts, who lost in the World Cup Final on Sunday. Craig, on the other hand, called it a choke job if there ever was one -- and informed Boomer that there was nothing he could say that would change his mind.
