Surprise, surprise, I’m not super excited for this series. Gabe brings up a good point though - the matchups are good and its really time for the Yankees to do SOMETHING. Joel Sherman pens what I think is the first not completely pessimistic article about the Yanks in weeks. Anyway, they got me in a [...]

The Yankees have dug themselves quite a hole and need to start showing that they’re not the team we’ve seen over the first 2 months of the season. They managed to win 1 against the Mets over the weekend and honestly, a sweep in this series is really the only thing that would be enough [...]

Though you hesitate to call games “must win” when the calendar still reads April, the Yankees tongiht are as close to that as you can get. After a sweep of the Indians last week (feels like a month ago), they’ve gone on to lose 6 in a row (they never lost 5 in a row [...]

As is a rite of Spring every year, the Yankees and Red Sox are readying for their first regular season series. They’re tight in the standings and the Yankees will be sending 2 rookies to the mound against the Red Sox vaunted 1,2,3 starters. Luckily, super-Yankee Andy Pettitte will kick things off against super-Blogger Curt [...]

That’s right. The Yankees and Red Sox are going to fight through 5 games between Friday and Monday, starting off with a day/night doubleheader on Friday. For the past couple of months I have maintained that we will have a much clearer idea of the way things stand after this weekend’s series. There are some [...]

Now that we’re entering the second half of the season, what do we think will happen. An email containing FOX’s predictions became a thread containing all of our predictions. I will paste them here for posterity (and gloating rights come October).
Manlio’s:
Those are all good questions. I think:
1. the AL east comes down to the wire, [...]

Yanks played it tight for a while and then Torre fell victim (again!) to the “One Inning Too Many” theory on Jaret Wright and got quickly blown out. Oh Well - we took 2 of [...]

The weather in NY has been really crappy recently and yesterday’s Yanks/Sox contest fell victim to it so this 4 game series has now been shortened to a 3 game series with last night’s scheduled starters (Schilling and Wright) scheduled to go tonight. That means we’re looking at a 5 game series in Fenway in [...]

Damon’s pumped fist in mid-air when he reaized Melky reeled it in made this play extra sweet. Melky also worked a walk ahead of Jason Giambi with 2 outs late in the game. Giambi then [...]

Alas, we find ourselves coming back to Yankee Stadium to play 4 more games against our beloved Boston Red Sox, who roll into town with a half game lead on us for the division.
