New York Yankees Pitcher Phil Hughes Tosses Seven »
New York Yankees starting pitcher Phil Hughes took a no-hitter into the eighth inning against the Oakland Athletics Wednesday night, but his no-hit bid was spoiled by the A’s leadoff hitter Eric Chavez who reached on an infield single. Hughes struck out the next batter for his career high 10th strikeout of the game and the Yankees went [...]
Humor: New York Yankee Fans Blame Joe Girardi for »
In a message board storm unlike any seen for weeks, New York Yankees fans set the online world abuzz as they ripped Yankees manager Joe Girardi for costing Phil Hughes a no-hitter. Fans called for Girardi's immediate resignation/firing/tar-and-feathering following the game where Hughes, one of the Yankees' top young pitchers, no-hit the Oakland [...]
Brian Cashman Gives Xavier Nady World Series Ring »
Earlier in the day I wrote about former Yankee pitchers Edwar Ramirez and Chad Gaudin getting their rings yesterday and I wrote that the Yankees really haven’t let everyone know when they’ll be getting their rings. I certainly wasn’t foreshadowing anything, but earlier today Xavier Nady got a nice surprise when the Yankees [...]
New York Yankees: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly »
One of the best Clint Eastwood movies from his Western days was "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly." Fantastic. Rent it if you have not seen it. In fact, get a bunch of Clint movies one rainy day and park yourself on the couch. This movie title is going to be the same as this Yankee theme. It will be a bi-weekly segment on the most recent [...]
Rumors Swirl of Mark Teixeira Testing Positive for PED »
Yesterday there were rumors flying that Mark Teixeira could be the next big name baseball player to be suspended due to performance enhancing drugs. Major League Baseball then made the announcement that it was not Teixeira, but Edinson Volquez of the Reds, that failed a drug test. A sigh of relief was taken by the New York Yankees [...]
Notes and Quotes: Javier Vazquez, Joba Chamberlain, »
Good evening Bronx Baseball Daily readers. Some of you might have noticed our lack of updates this morning. First, we didn’t have a game recap because the Yankees' West Coast trip is hard to stay awake for and, in an effort to stay up late last night, I accidentally caused myself to sleep in today. Also, we had some server issues this [...]
Edwar Ramirez and Chad Gaudin Presented with World »
Not all of the former Yankees could fly in during opening day’s ring ceremony to be with the team like Jerry Hairston Jr. did, but the Yankees have made an effort to reach out to a couple of former Yankees. Before yesterday’s game, the Yankees presented right handed pitchers Chad Gaudin and Edwar Ramirez, both now with the Oakland [...]
Javier Vazquez: Good Enough for First Win »
Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E N.Y. Yankees (10-3) 3 0 0 0 3 0 1 0 0 7 5 0 Oakland (9-6) 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 3 8 0 (This was supposed to be posted this morning, but I was having computer issues so I'll make this pretty short) It wasn't a great start for Javier Vazquez, but like the title says it was good enough for him to pick up his [...]
Javier Vazquez Finally Wins First Game as Yankees »
While most of the East Coast was preparing to go to bed or were already asleep, the Yankees were preparing to start the first of a six game West coast trip. It was the first game against the Oakland A's, a young team overall both on the offensive side and the pitching side as well. Oakland was also coming into the game in first place of the A.L. [...]
