Yankees Win Seventh Straight

by @ Wednesday, July 1st, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

This is the kind of roll I like.  The Mariners have been in town for two games and they’ve lost them both, and that’s pushed the Yankees winning streak to seven. One more tomorow and it’s a nice little sweep.  And it was another nice start by Andy Pettitte.  He’s going to be hard pressed [...]

Yankees Edge Mets to Finish Up Sweep

by @ Monday, June 29th, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

This game had a ton of stuff going on.  First, it was the ESPN Sunday game of the week.  Chien Ming Wang was fighting for his job and then the Yankees were going for their fifth straight win.  Of course the game didn’t disappoint and even better the Yankees won.  Mark Teixeira drove in two [...]

Yanks Comeback Falls Short In Another Series Loss

by @ Sunday, June 21st, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

This shit has to stop.  The Yankees scored two runs in the ninth, but they stranded the tying run at third base in a 6-5 loss to the Marlins.  The big ninth inning his was a two run triple by Brett Gardner and he also singled earlier in the game.  Alex Rodriguez singled and drove [...]

Yankees Bounce Back, Take Down Marlins In Series Opener

by @ Friday, June 19th, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

I still can’t believe the Yankees lost ground with the Nationals in town.  The Yankees took the opener then dropped the last two in a disappointing series.  Still, they started to make it up for it by taking care of the Florida Marlins this evening.
Andy Pettitte did it again. He improved to 7-3 and he [...]

CC Sabathia Is Good Enough In Win Over Nationals

by @ Wednesday, June 17th, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

When you play a crappy team like the Nationals, you don’t have to bring your best stuff and while the CC Sabathia gave up three runs to the Nationals it was good enough to push his record to 6-4 on the season.  Oddly, he struck out just two but he walked only one guy so [...]

Johan Beatdown

by @ Sunday, June 14th, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

You don’t see this happen every day but you also don’t see an offense like the Yankees have every year.  Anyway, the Yankees capped off a series win over the Mets with a 15-0 beatdown and they did it with Johan Santana on the mound.  By the end of the fourth, the Yanks would have [...]

Big Time Rivalry And a West Coast Trip

by @ Tuesday, June 9th, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees, Baseball Tickets

It doesn’t get much better then the Yankees against the Red Sox.  They square off for a three game set and things are right in the world.  There’s no Blue Jays or Rays in the mix this year.  The Yankees are in first place, and the Red Sox are in second.  Of course when the [...]

Four Home Runs Pace Yankees Offensive Attack

by @ Tuesday, June 9th, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

Chicks dig the long ball so new Yankee Stadium is the perfect place to take your date.  This trend continued yesterday as the Yankees pounded four home runs to account for all five of their runs in a 5-3 win over the Rays.  Nick Swisher hit a two run shot while Derek Jeter, Johnny Damon [...]

Seven Run Fourth Paces Yankees Win Over Rangers

by @ Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

See, these are the Rangers we all know and love.  The Yankees piled on twelve runs in a 12-3 beatdown and the Yankees had just about everything going right.  Jorge Posada belted a home run and he drove in four to lead the offense while Derek Jeter continued his nice hitting and he went three [...]

Yanks Keep It Up, Take Care of Indians Behind Joba’s Solid Start

by @ Monday, June 1st, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

Joba pitched eight innings for the first time in his career as the Yankees took care of business once again in a 5-3 win in their finale against the Indians.  Joba only struck out five, but he gave up just two runs on four hits and two walks in those eight frames and he needed [...]

Yankees Overcome Four Run Deficit, Then Lose In Ninth

by @ Sunday, May 31st, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

Man, this was a tough one.  The Yankees came back from four down only to lose it in the ninth.  You have to kind of fell for Phil Coke.  He gave up a walk to lead off the ninth then got pulled after a sac. bunt.  Then David Robertson came in and gave up a [...]

Yankees Look for Fourth Straight Win

by @ Sunday, May 31st, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

Yeah, it’s been a while so sue me.  Still, it’s nice to see the Yankees sitting atop the standings.  They have two more games against the AL Central doormats (Indians) before they head home to take on the surprising Rangers.  Still, at the end of the day, regardless of whether the Yankees win or lose, [...]

Brett Gardner Shines After Being Named Starting Centerfielder

by @ Wednesday, April 1st, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

Brett Gardner rose to the challenge after getting the nod as the Yankees everyday centerfielder.  He went three for four with an RBI in the Yankees spring win over the Reds.  Melky Cabrera also chipped in despite being on the losing end of that starter spot and he doubled and drove in three runs.  Angel [...]

Wang Grinds Down Astros

by @ Thursday, March 19th, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

The Yankees took care of business behind the arm of Chien-Ming Wang in a 4-1 win over the Astros.  Wang got 10 groundball outs through his five innings of work and he gave up just a single run on three hits with two strikeouts.  No walks either.  I’ve never been a big believer in Wang [...]

Jobarific

by @ Monday, March 16th, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

Alright, this is what you like to see.  The Yanks dismantled the Phillies today and Joba Chamberlain was solid for three shutout frames.  Three strikeouts, one walk, two hits.  You have to like that.  Kei Igawa also had a solid outing with three shutout frames of his own.  Jonathan Albaladejo struck out two in his [...]

The Man Is Back

by @ Monday, March 16th, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

It’s been a while since you’ve consistently been graced by my prescence.  Well, you need to wait no longer.  After some fill ins, my time off is at an end.  I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do much with the off track Yankees History site, but the hope is, you’ll find me writing [...]

Rivera Explains How He Feels After Throwing His Fifth Mound Session…Sort Of

by @ Saturday, March 14th, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

Was it perhaps a bad choice of words, or are our ears geared to hear only certain words when discussing baseball right now?  I will let you decide.
When asked how he felt after pitching from the mound again today for his fifth mound session of the spring following surgery to repair his right shoulder, Mariano [...]

A-Rod Admits To Using Performance-Enhancing Drugs on ESPN

by @ Monday, February 9th, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

In an interview that was taped for ESPN on Monday’s early afternoon, and then immediately released to air, Alex Rodriguez admitted to using performance enhancing drugs from 2001-2003, during his stay with the Texas Rangers.  He seemed genuinely apologetic, and sorrowful to his fans and the Rangers organization.
In his home in Miami, A-Rod’s interview with [...]

Just When We Thought It Was Behind Us

by @ Sunday, February 8th, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

As the 2009 season is approaching, the “steroids in baseball” conversation is long from over.  I was hoping that we could put that in the past and remember the Mitchel Report, and the players  testifying  before congress as things that ended in the 2008 season.  But now we have a huge name being mentioned in [...]

Yankees Prove Ready For 2009 With Huge Offseason Signings

by @ Friday, February 6th, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

Not leaving a thing behind in the big move across the street to new Yankee Stadium, the boss remembered to bring everything with him, including his check book. The Yankees have not hesitated to put themselves back in the discussion for the best team in the majors, this winter, with huge offseason signings totaling more [...]

“The Yankee Years” Is A Hit…But To Who?

by @ Thursday, February 5th, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

Joe Torre spent the afternoon in front of a line of fans and reporters stretching around the block of a Mid-Town Manhattan bookstore, on Tuesday, defending his new book entitled “The Yankee Years.” A lot has been said since excerpts starting leaking out last week about the book, and the feelings of those involved. Alex [...]

Welcome Back…One and All!

by @ Wednesday, February 4th, 2009. Filed under 2009 Yankees

A lot has happened in baseball since the last time I have had the opportunity to be a part of BaseballHistorians.com.  I want to thank everyone responsible for making this a reality for me again this year.  I hope to become a spark that enables discussion, and hopefully bring you the information that makes this [...]
