New York Yankees Skip Javier Vazquez’s Turn in »
The New York Yankees went into last night’s game against the Baltimore Orioles with a 16-8 record and have essentially gotten nothing from Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson, Nick Johnson, and Javier Vazquez. I guess that might be all relative because they have gotten some unreal production from guys like Francisco Cervelli, [...]
New York Yankees’ Curtis Granderson Hits the DL »
Since the first series of the season against the Boston Red Sox, things really haven’t gone well for Curtis Granderson in his first month as a New York Yankee. He hit two home runs in the series against Boston (one of which being a game winner against Jonathan Papelbon), but really hasn’t done anything since. He is off to a [...]

Chad Gaudin: Oakland A’s Sign Pitcher »
Well, I guess I was wrong. After pitcher Chad Gaudin was released by the New York Yankees in the middle of last week, I was pretty sure he would sign with either the New York Mets or Los Angeles Dodgers. Just like I thought the Oakland A’s wouldn’t sign Ben Sheets, I didn’t think they would sign Gaudin either. But they [...]
New York Yankees News And Notes »
Believe it or not, the New York Yankees have had a very quiet offseason. There has been nobody busted for steroids, the manager isn’t on a short leash, and there is no drama surrounding the team. And in other news of the bizarre, the University of Kentucky has dropped their basketball program. Just because the Yankees have had a quiet [...]
Derek Jeter: Enough with the Contract Talk! »
Only the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl rival spring training in terms of useless news and information. During the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, we hear stories like X player reads the Harry Potter books or Y player eats four egg whites and two slices of whole wheat toast before every game. When it comes to spring training, we hear [...]
New York Yankees Sign Chan Ho Park »
If you can’t beat them, join them. Last year, the New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies and Chan Ho Park in the World Series, so Park figured why not join the team that beat him in the fall classic. According to Thomas Harding , of MLB.com the Yankees have signed Park to a one-year, $1.2 million contract. Park can also make [...]
New York Yankees Only Team To Pay Luxury Tax »
To the surprise of nobody who closely follows the game of baseball, The New York Yankees will be paying baseball’s luxury tax yet again. However, this year they are alone in that honor. According to the Associated Press, the Yankees will be the lone team paying baseball’s luxury tax in 2009 and will pay nearly $25.69 million in tax. The [...]
New York Yankees Steal Javier Vazquez from the Braves »
As if we need any more reasons to hate the New York Yankees. According to SI.com’s Jon Heyman, the Yankees have acquired RHP Javier Vazquez and LHP Boone Logan for OF Melky Cabrera, LHP Mike Dunn, and RHP Arodys Vizcaino. So let me understand this, and I think I do. The Braves had a surplus of pitching and were looking to trade either Derek [...]
Jason Bay And Johnny Damon Find Themselves In Similar »
There are a lot of differences between Johnny Damon and Jason Bay. Damon is left-handed and Bay is right-handed. Damon has two World Series rings and Bay has zero. Damon’s game is based primarily on speed and Bay’s game is based primarily on power. Damon is flamboyant and likes to speak his mind, while Bay speaks softly and carries a big [...]
