As the Yankees came to the end of their trip in Texas, WFAN's Sweeny Murti sat down with hitting coach Kevin Long on Sunday to talk about Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada and his upcoming book.
Derek Jeter quit thinking about it and just started trying to hit the ball again. That philosophy is starting to pay off for the Yankees and their much-scrutinized leadoff hitter.
Derek Jeter can still hit. His 4-hit performance Sunday in Arlington seems like the breakout we've waited for throughout the first five weeks of this season.
Lonn Trost is the Yankees' Chief Operating Officer and he joined Boomer & Craig this morning to talk about the "Inaugural New York Yankees/New Era Pinstripe Bowl Charity Golf Tournament," which takes place today (5/9) at Forsgate Country Club in Monroe Township, NJ.
Eddie Scozzare had a little extra time on his hands last week. With that said he put together a hilarious montage that consists of numerous cuts from our old friends John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman -- and he even set it to music.
Derek Jeter's Sunday heroics landed him on the front page of the of the NY Post on Monday, which prompted Boomer & Craig to question whether his efforts were worthy of top billing.
Derek Jeter homered twice after going 62 games without a long ball, Curtis Granderson went deep again and the New York Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 12-5 Sunday despite an erratic outing by CC Sabathia.
Julio Borbon drove in three runs, including the go-ahead run with a squeeze bunt, and the Texas Rangers beat the New York Yankees 7-5 on Saturday night after blowing an early five-run lead.

When asked if concerns about lack of production have proved to become an issue for his team, Girardi dismissed the notion saying "I don't think it's affecting our club."
The Yankees' bats went silent in their last series against the Tigers. Getting Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter back on track would certainly help.
Joe Girardi's plan was to rest Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter, giving both a day off amid a grueling stretch of the schedule. Then A-Rod's replacement hurt his foot, forcing the third baseman back on the field.
It was an early Thursday schmooze for Steve with both locals playing afternoon baseball. First up, the Mets, who coasted behind Mike "Big Pelf" Pelfrey until K-Rod made it interesting in the ninth. But a win's a win, and so it goes for the Metropolitans.
Hughes underwent a series of tests, most specifically to rule out Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS), a condition that is not as uncommon as we've been led to believe, particularly amongst competitive overhead athletes.
The captain of the Yankees, a no-brainer Hall-of-Famer, no longer plays like one, and never will. The next time you'll see Derek Jeter hit .330 is in syndication, or on his "Yankeeography."
Nobody's temperature can be taken this many times in one 600-at-bat baseball season. But that's what we're doing because Derek Jeter is almost 37, coming off his worst year ever, and hitting .250 a month into the first year of a new three-year contract.
Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter says he's OK and will be able to play following his late exit Wednesday night because of a sore right hip.

Tim Lincecum showed up and mowed down Steve's Metropolitans, who lost with a whimper on Wednesday, 2-0. Meanwhile, in Detroit, Derek Jeter left early and the Yankees managed to lay an egg against the Tigers.
The Detroit Tigers took advantage of some sloppy fielding to beat the New York Yankees for the third straight time, 6-3 on Thursday.
Max Scherzer pitched eight scoreless innings, and Magglio Ordonez homered for the first time this season to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 4-0 win over the New York Yankees on Wednesday night.
New York Yankees right-hander Phil Hughes is apparently responding well to a cortisone shot last week for his ailing right shoulder and is expected to begin a throwing program in a couple weeks.
Two doubles, no triples, no dingers. Is Derek Jeter's 2011 power outage here to stay?
Joe Girardi knows that, even in a great season, his New York Yankees are probably going to lose at least 60 games. He just doesn't like it when they give wins away.
