Warren Promoted; Heathcott Injured

Warren leads the Florida State League in ERA (2.22) and is 7-5. In 81 innings pitched, he has allowed 72 hits while walking 17 and striking out 67. He has...

Steroid Users in MLB: Heroes or Villians
Dear Society / Media / Hypocrites,
Please don’t tell me that I can’t love or admire A-Rod simply because he took steroids.
My heroes are not defined by who does or doesn’t take drugs, unless of course they are taken in such excess that they are rendered into embarrassing media spectacles. ...

Left Field Options
Since I was so “accurate” with my pitching options entry, I have now decided to breakdown some of the options for left field in 2010.
I intentionally decided to withhold typing this up until after Jason Bay and Matt Holliday signed; as it seemed that a strong percentage of Yankees fans wanted...

Why Nick and Not Matsui?
Looks like the only thing left bringing DH/1B Nick Johnson back to New York is the dotting of the I’s. The $5.5 million price tag has left many wondering why the accident prone Johnson and not the gimpy-legged Matsui?
Jason over at IIATMS led the charge:
Nick Johnson has the potential to thrive...

World Series Game 3 Thoughts
Some thoughts on Game 3, compiled while watching the Giants clash with the Eagles in the first half of an epic Philadelphia/New York Sunday doubleheader:
- I’m thrilled for Nick Swisher, who, despite struggling horrendously throughout this postseason and taking some abuse in the media, continued...

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...

Stay Positive: This Year Is Different
These past three days have been torture. No question. For those of us that live and die with each Yankee victory or defeat, a crushing postseason loss followed by an off-day followed by a rainout followed by another day of waiting can seem cruel and unusual. I’ve found myself constantly plagued...

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...

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...

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
RHP...

Sunday Morning Manager – 9/13/09
Football has the Monday Morning Quarterback. Well, baseball has the… Sunday Morning Manager…?
Yeah, I’m going with that. Each Sunday we’ll take a moment to quickly address the week, second guess Joe Girardi, and rundown the players of the week.
If it seems like time to worry...

2009 Yankees: What’s Changed From 2008
Last night was an off day and there’s only so many articles you can post about Derek Jeter before the man starts to bore you.
So, in an effort to find something to write about, I’m throwing together a comparison of this year’s team offensively to last year’s team.
Yes, I know,...

Nick Swisher and Home/Road Splits
Nick Swisher is a weird cat. You don’t need me to tell you this – anyone who has followed the Yankees with even a passing interest this year has probably taken note. The haircut, the Swisher Salute, the self-provided nickname (Swish-alicious), the loud music, the loud mouth. Swisher...

Yankees’ Midterm Report Card
The Yankees are 88 games into the season at the All Star break, as good a time as any to break down the good and bad of the season. We went over this a bit in the podcast last week, but we’ll look a little more in-depth here.
On to the grades:

The Swish Needs to Play Everyday
I’m a big believer in Instant Karma.
In the case of Nick Swisher, karma may not have played out instantaneously, but it certainly didn’t take it’s sweet time.
It was only a few weeks ago that Joe Girardi announced Xavier Nady would be the Yankees starting right fielder. The announcement...
