Wrapping Up the World Series
It had all the makings of high drama.
Andy Pettitte, a homegrown pitcher, a man perennially on the verge of retirement, throwing on three days rest.
Pedro Martinez, a relic from another era when the Yankees seemed like they could do no wrong.
It felt like a game straight out of 1999, when the Yankees...

Girardi Leaving Too Much To Chance
Two possible games left in the World Series and Joe Girardi isn’t positive who is starting game 6? Chad Jennings:
Martinez pitched well in Game 2. He struck out eight while allowing three runs on six hits through six innings. He will be pitching on five day’s rest. The Yankees starter,...

World Series Game 4 Thoughts
Random thoughts while watching a game that feels very long…
◊ I really wonder about Girardi’s ability to adapt on the fly. Sabathia was decent in game four but certainly not great. Girardi stated that CC could go 110 or 120 pitches on three days rest. The plan is to have CC pitch...

World Series Game 2 Thoughts
Random observations about a somewhat unexpected pitchers duel:
◊ I like AJ Burnett a little bit more today. That’s easy to say after the man gave up one run over seven innings in a must win World Series game. Burnett threw a first pitch strike to 18 of 26 batters last night. The three batters...

World Series Game 1 Thoughts
Random thoughts on a game that doesn’t need much explanation:
◊ Last night’s game pretty much begins and ends with Cliff Lee. Sure, Chase Utley deserves props for hitting not one but two home runs against fellow lefty CC Sabathia. Lee was downright filthy. Lee threw 122 pitches across...

World Series Rotation and Roster Questions
Questions abound a day away from game one of the World Series.
Rob Neyer, responding to Dan Rosenheck the NY Times, who suggests Girardi keep his options open:
… I wonder if any manager in the history of ever has gone into a World Series with such flexibility.
No, I’m sure that many of them...

Thoughts on ALCS Game 6
Reflections on an evening I spent singing the Theme to New York, New York over and over while alone in my kitchen:
◊ Great game pitched by Andy Pettitte last night. It’s rare that you see Pettitte let out a yell or a fist pump but clearly, Andy was dialed in and on a mission.
It’s funny...

ALCS Game 5 Thoughts
Thoughts about the game while I try to stop my head from sadly shaking:
◊ Last night once again encapsulated AJ Burnett as a pitcher. Burnett came out in the bottom of the first and stunk up the joint, allowing four runs before an out was recorded. A long flyout and double play later, AJ gets out...

Micro Joe Girardi Strikes Again
Tempting as it was, I resisted the urge to scrawl a profanity-laden diatribe against Micro Joe Girardi following last night’s 5-4 loss to the Los Angeles California Angels of Anaheim California. My reasoning? One shouldn’t make rash decisions in the heat of battle.
If only Micro Joe had...

Yanks and Angels: ALCS Thoughts
I’ve been debating a full blown breakdown of the Yanks and Angels American League Championship Series that starts Friday, but there are so many great resources (including River Ave Blues very detailed breakdown) that I don’t think I’ll be adding much insight to the blogosphere.
So instead,...

ALDS Game 2 Thoughts – Yanks & Twins
Some thoughts after surviving through game two:
Wow.
I don’t care what Joe Girardi says. Gardner made a huge mistake in the 10th when he was doubled off third on Damon’s line drive. With one out, Gardner could have trotted home on any ball that got through the infield. There was no...

Analyzing the Posada/Molina Situation
When the Yankees take the field tonight against the Twins for game two of the American League Division Series, a backup catcher will be behind the plate.
Jose Molina was tagged the game two catcher even before the Yankees 7-2 win over the Twins in game one of the ALDS, ending season long speculation...

The Great Division Series Roster Debate
Yesterday, the soon-to-be-deposed Peter Abraham was riffing on the Yankees’ playoff roster possibilities.
His look at the pitching staff possibilities shapes up like this:
PITCHERS (10)
LHP CC Sabathia
RHP A.J. Burnett
LHP Andy Pettitte
RHP Mariano Rivera
RHP Phil Hughes
LHP Phil Coke
RHP Alfredo Aceves

Yankees Only Scuffling By Their Standards
The Yankees entered their three game series with the Los Angeles California Angels of Anaheim California with more than a rally monkey on their back.
The team had been on a tear for the better part of six weeks, rattling off winning streaks of seven and eight games with ease.
Then they lost two out of...

Francisco Cervelli Making Bid for 2010 Roster
Another walk-off, another come from behind win. Another hero.
While the news and blogosphere swirl with concern about another Yankee rotation failing in the postseason, the Yankees themselves chug chug chug along.
The last ten games for the Yankees haven’t been a particularly encouraging run...
