This morning, Jerry Recco reported the injury news surrounding Joba Chamberlain, who will likely undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of the season. The news set Craig off on a tangent about Joba's father Harlan, which prompted Boomer to agree that his radio partner is a bad guy.
LeBron James spoke before Game 5 of the NBA Finals and with the Series tied at 2-2, the self-anointed "King" declared last night's game in Dallas as a "now or never" game.
Two of CC Sabathia's three losses this year have come against the Red Sox. Josh Beckett beat him both times. That's a scary thought for the Yankees, who have lost seven of eight meetings with Boston this season — including all five at home.
David Ortiz wasn't at all concerned about New York throwing at him in retaliation for Tuesday's showy bat flip. "Why should I?" he said Wednesday. "I don't care about what Joe Girardi said. I come to play the game every day. That's about it. I'm done with that."
When the Yankees needed a big effort Wednesday night, A.J. Burnett came up small. That's the way it has gone for them almost all season against the rival Red Sox.
Yankees setup man Joba Chamberlain joined his colleague, Rafael Soriano, on the DL yesterday. So what exactly is the issue?
Joba Chamberlain was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a stiff elbow, leaving the Yankees' bullpen in dire straits.
On Monday morning, Craig coined the three-game Red Sox-Yankees series in the Bronx as a "grand re-opening" of the Major League Baseball season. Yikes.
David Ortiz hit one of three Boston homers to back a tireless Tim Wakefield and the Red Sox extended their domination of the Yankees this season, beating New York 11-6 on Wednesday night to take over first place in the AL East.
The New York Yankees' roster is seriously lacking in depth and it's up to general manager Brian Cashman to play catch-up to the superior Boston Red Sox. There are many needs that Cashman must address as the trade deadline approaches.
How should the Yankees handle David Ortiz's theatrics? The genteel response is to assert the only way to stop such celebrations is to keep him from hitting home runs. Since that is impossible and, frankly, the meek man's way of handling Big Papi, I must side with the second solution. Drill him.
The Yankees understand the occasional loss is merely a part of baseball. Just don't show them up in Yankee Stadium.
Mark Teixeira held his knee and writhed in pain near home plate, thinking the worst after being hit by a pitch from Jon Lester. "I've never seen him show that much pain before," manager Joe Girardi said.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi got to know Dante Bichette Jr. long before New York selected him with its first pick in the baseball draft. Now, Girardi could get a chance to guide the slugging 18-year-old as a budding big league ballplayer.
Jim Leyritz hit a couple of monumental home runs for the Yankees and was a member of two World Series winning teams in the Bronx. He had an 11-year big league career, but will likely be remembered for his trouble with the law.
In the first inning of last night's Red Sox-Yankees game, Jon Lester plunked Mark Teixiera in the knee with a pitch. During Jerry "Rello" Recco's first update we got to hear John Sterling describe the play as only he can.
In the first inning of last night's loss, Jon Lester hit Mark Teixeira and Russell Martin. To Craig's dismay, the Yankees failed to retaliate.
David Ortiz hit a two-run homer and Jonathan Papelbon labored through the ninth inning to earn his 200th save, leading the Boston Red Sox over the New York Yankees 6-4 Tuesday night.
The Indians fall, the Yankees rise, and a new #1 in this week's Top Ten.
The last time Boston came to the Bronx, it was tied for last place in the AL East. This time, the Yankees and archrival Red Sox will be in their more customary roles of playing for the division lead.
The Yankees' next ten games are against Boston, Cleveland, and Texas — all three are ranked among the five best offensive teams in the AL, and the Bombers will play them in hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium. It's shaping up to be quite a test for Joe Girardi's squad.
The son of Dante Bichette was among the players selected during the MLB draft's first day. And one day he just might make his debut in the Bronx.
The Mets have a good chance to land a talented young hurler in this year's MLB first-year player draft. With pick number 13, the Amazin's are at least guaranteed one of the players listed. As for the Bombers, well... Sorry Yankees fans, you're out of luck.
When commissioner Bud Selig steps to the podium at the MLB Network studios in Secaucus, N.J. to begin Monday night's MLB first-year player draft, he might say UCLA right-hander Gerrit Cole's name first. But who will the Mets and Yankees select? That's what New Yorkers want to know.
Mark Teixeira homered twice against his former team, Nick Swisher also went deep and the New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-3 on Sunday to win the three-game series.
