New York Yankees Pitching Falters in Opening Loss To »

Through five innings, CC Sabathia appeared on his way to an Opening Night victory over the Red Sox at Fenway Park. But the Yankees' ace quickly ran into trouble in the sixth, issuing a walk to Dustin Pedroia before Victor Martinez doubled and Kevin Youkilis brought them both home with a triple to cut Boston's deficit to 5-4. After the Sox tied the [...]

Yankees-Red Sox: NY Hitting Unable To Bail Out »

The baseball season is officially under way, but for the Yankees, the opener did not go the way they had hoped. Early on the pitchers did their thing, as the first eight batters of the game were retired. But with two outs in the top of the second that changed, as Jorge Posada hit a Josh Beckett pitch off the Pesky Pole to score the first run of [...]

Fantasy Baseball Insiders Tonight 4/4: Curtis »

Although 2010’s official Opening Day isn’t until tomorrow, the Yankees/Red Sox Sunday night matchup marks the beginning of another baseball season. For those of us who devote our entire summer to fantasy baseball, tonight signals the start of a six-month journey that requires a daily grind; constantly [...]

Examining the New York Yankees’ Official Opening »

The Yankees open up the season tonight at Fenway. Their line-up looks just a little bit different than the one from last year. Who knows how well this line-up will play out with the absence of World Series MVP Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon. This year's line-up looks like this: 1. Derek Jeter (Shortstop) —Once again the Yankees' captain [...]

2010 MLB Prediction: Curtis Granderson To Have Better »

Both New York teams have a new starting outfielder on their squads this year. Both are upgrades over their 2009 counterparts. The Mets signed free agent Jason Bay while the Yankees pulled off an old-fashioned trade as they acquired Curtis Granderson from the Detroit Tigers in a three-team, seven-player swap. That trade also involved the Arizona [...]

MLB Opening Day Gives All Teams Chance for Fresh Start »

First off, I would just like to wish everybody a very happy, secular, non-denominational day of spring and painted egg collecting. But for most of us, the most special part of this day is the first night of baseball in America. Tonight at 8pm (or probably 9pm because of ESPN’s commercials), the New York Yankees will take on the Boston [...]

Kevin Long: Great Hitting Coach, or a Product of Great »

Hours before the Yankees home opener, Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long is faced with the challenge of duplicating his offense's 2009 season. Key hitters Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui have both departed via free agency for new teams, and Melky Cabrera was traded to the Atlanta Braves. Who will make up for that lost production? The Yankees are [...]

The New York Yankees’ Greatest Era »

Baseball fans have been repeatedly told that the New York Yankees are the greatest dynasty in sports history, but they are rarely told that since 1958, the Yankees' dominance with respect to winning the World Series, has decreased. From 1921-1958, the Yankees won 24 pennants and 18 World Championships. From 1960-2009, the Yankees have won 16 [...]

2010 AL East: World Series Win Takes Some Pressure Off »

Give FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal credit—before reaching for the Chicago White Sox as his prediction to win the 2010 World Series, he prefaced it with (probably real) editor guidelines. The first two essentially prohibited him from tabbing either the New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox. Fine, the powers-that-be wanted him to zig when [...]
