New York Yankees

By Christopher Chavez The Yankees' projected pitching rotation looks like this: 1. CC Sabathia 2. AJ Burnett 3. Joba Chamberlain 4. Chien-Ming Wang 5. Chad Gaudin. Andy Pettitte is the only Yankee starter that will hit the free-agent market. The Yankees will probably re-sign Pettitte, if he decides to return to the m...

By GC Ever wonder where the city of New York obtains mountains of confetti for what used to be called ticker tape parades to honor sporting champions, astronauts or Chain Gang’s election to the Rock’n'Roll Hall Of Fame?  Me neither, but the New York Post’s Chuck Bennett and Salim Algar report F...

By Chad Jennings It’s only been a few days since the final game of the World Series, and already the Yankees are transitioning to next year. Some of the players have already cleared out their lockers, fans chanted “28″ at the parade and the free agent decision making process will begin shortly. That’s what...

By Chad Jennings After 22 regular season games, the Arizona Fall League has it’s all-star game tonight. One Yankees prospect, left-hander Mike Dunn, is on the West ros ———- Also, both the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees and Trenton Thunder have stories on their web sites about the Yankees minor league im...

By Tom Au The New York Yankees have a number of great homegrown players. They include shortstop Derek Jeter, pitchers Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera, and catcher Jorge Posada. And then suppose the Yankees won the World Series anyway. Then we could truly say that "homegrown" Yankees were the serie...

By Mike Salvatore He then non-chalantly told me that he has been to a World Series before. In fact, he was at Game Six of the 1977 World Series when Reggie Jackson launched those three home runs into the October night. ALCS & World Series Programs: $10 each

By Greg Fertel GF: What are you up to this offseason? Do the Yankees have you doing anything specific or are you just getting some rest? GF: Have the Yankees given you any indication about where you’ll be next season? Where would you like to start the season?

By DAULERIO I can't really condemn these scruffy-faced Yankee fans for their jubilant man-love after the Yankees World Series victory. I probably made out with at least three dudes at Dirty Frank's last year after the Phillies won. Thanks, AJ!! Rschau

For guys like Derek Jeter, this isn’t a new concept. After his rookie year, he watched World Series MVP John Wetteland leave as a free agent, opening the door for a kid named Mariano Rivera to step up as the closer. Still, a day like Friday gives Jeter and his teammates a chance to appreciate one...

By Doug Rush In Game Six of the World Series, A-Rod finished 1-for-2 with two walks, but this game was more the Hideki Matsui show and the Yankees won the game 7-3—and the World Series. The loser, failure and choke labels are over for A-Rod. A-Rod can now be classified with Scott Brosuis, Tino Martinez, Be...

By Jeff Summers With the tenth pitch of the at-bat, Philadelphia Phillies centerfielder Shane Victorino hit a slow rolling grounder to New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano. Cano scooped it up and tossed the ball to first baseman Mark Teixeira for the final out of the 2009 World Series.

By Keith Smooth As you can already guess from the title of this article, I am a fan of the New York Yankees.  And because I am a fan of the Bronx Bombers, I am inclined to ask any non-Yankee fans this question: 7. If he's an Angels fan say this: 5. If he's a Red Sox fan say this:

By Sam Borden Alex Rodriguez capped an up-and-down year on the highest of highs, finally becoming a champion. Matsui may have been the MVP of the World Series but there’s no doubt that A-Rod was the MVP of the Yankees postseason. Rick Carpiniello has the story.

By Chad Jennings It’s about 20 minutes before two in the morning, and the video board at Yankee Stadium is glowing with five words beneath a picture of the World Series trophy: “Boss, this is for you.” As Hank Steinbrenner said tonight, nine years isn’t much of a wait for most franchises, but for a Yankees...

By Josh Thomson The Yankees are on the field, loosening for one or two more games at Yankee Stadium. They’re all here, and all say they are emboldened by taking the field tomorrow night behind Andy Pettitte — even on short rest. A great deal of Joe Girardi’s press conference today dealt with Pettitte. The 37-y...

By DMtShooter Five Tool Tool gt;Phil Coke entered the game in the seventh, and Chase Utley treated him like just about every other pitcher in this series by crushing a home run to right. In five games, he's got five home runs, and is now tied Reggie Jackson for the most home runs in a World Series. It's just crazy to me that an...

A good-government group is calling for an ethics investigation into how New York Gov. David Paterson got his Yankees tickets for the first game of the World Series.

By Chad Jennings “It’s always good when more guys contribute,” Johnny Damon said. “But Alex really got us going with that home run.” UPDATE: Here’s the Pettitte audio. It’s all good stuff, with a nice payoff at the end when he talks about Derek Jeter nearly catching him on the bases. This one comes highly recomm...

By Dan Hanzus Put on your old Donnie Baseball jersey, pour a cold beer, and get out your Tim McCarver voodoo doll...it's time for the World Series! The chorus of "Yankees Run This Town": 7. Charlie Manuel vs. Joe Girardi 5. A-Rod is A-God 1. The Yankees are the better team The Yankees in six. See you at the parade.

By Richard Marsh Asked last April who were the last two teams I would like to see in the World Series, anybody and everybody who knows me well enough would have said the Yankees vs. the Phillies. Hating to admit it, this World Series potentially has the makings of perhaps one of the all time greats. Great pitchin...

By Sam Borden Game 6 has been called because of weather. It will be played Sunday at 8:20 p.m. More info to come. UPDATE, 6:45 p.m.: Here’s the release from the Yankees. Major League Baseball has announced that tonight’s game between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Angels at Yankee Stadium has been postpon...

By Steven Resnick For the record I'm not an Angel fan, pretty much any team facing the Yankees I'll be cheering for the team to beat the Yankees. I was actually hoping that Swisher would tie the score and the Yankees bullpen blow it in the bottom of the ninth.

By Josh Thomson With the forecast calling for a 90 percent chance of rain and the chance of thunderstorms Saturday night, the question was logical. Still, Joe Girardi didn’t hesitate, saying he will pitch Andy Pettitte in Game 6 even if rain pushes it to Sunday.

By Sam Borden Girardi wouldn’t commit to a lineup for Game 5 yet, but it seems likely that Jorge Posada will be on the bench again, with Jose Molina catching and Hideki Matsui at DH. If the Yankees are able to win the series out here, they’ll have nearly a week off before the World Series begins next Wednesda...

By Josh Thomson “I think the whole team played tremendous,” Mariano Rivera said. “This is the way we should play.” Mark Teixeira said Sabathia pitched as well as he had all season. It’s hard to argue. After walking 22 in his first 25 career postseason innings, Sabathia now has one in 14.2 as a Yankee.

By Josh Thomson Whether or not John Lackey belongs among the elite pitchers in baseball lies in the eye of the beholder. He is without question the Angels horse in 2009 and has competed admirably in big games both before and since he started Game 7 of the 2002 World Series.

By Chad Jennings Is Joba Chamberlain still a reliever for the ALCS? “As of 12:42 on Wednesday, that’s where I’m at,” Chamberlain said. “We’ll just approach it from there.” And then we’ve got Jorge Posada, who talked quite a bit about how the Yankees can limit the Angels running game. Pretty interesting stuff.

By Greg Fertel Austin Romine, C: While he's only the second best catching prospect in the Yankees organization, he'd be the best in most. I personally ranked him as the fourth best prospect in the Yankees system and Baseball America ranked him as the ninth best prospect in the Florida State League.

By patrick bohn To some, this photo shows you all you need to know about the Yankees-Twins playoff series. In same ways, this was the perfect example of how the Yankees and Twins differ. Teixeira and Rodriguez are Yankees for a simple reason: The Yankees could pay them what others could not.

By JinAZ 24. Baltimore Orioles.  TQI = 0.439 The power rankings rate the Orioles as the worst team in the American League.  There's good agreement across all of our different win "measures," from reality to cW%.  Breaking them down is simple too: the Orioles were below average in hitting, pitching, an...

By Sam Borden UPDATE, 3:36 p.m.: Just something I noticed as I was researching a column for tomorrow: The last time the Yankees started a catcher other than Posada in the playoffs was Oct. 7, 2005, when John Flaherty caught Randy Johnson. How’d it work out then? Johnson allowed five runs and nine hits in thre...

By cjennings • The Yankees haven’t announced an active roster for the first round, but 30 players still have a name plate on their lockers. That likely means a group of five extra players traveling with the Yankees through the playoffs. Sam and Josh had the breaking news of Jose Molina starting ahead of J...

By Vince Mercandetti If it had the same pieces in April and May that it has now it could be on pace for 110 wins, as it is it's on pace for over 101, something unapproached since the 2003 Yankees. And yes, they still play poorly against the Angels and have a losing record against the Red Sox (on a side note, how crazy is i...

By Vince Mercandetti Teams do their best against Yankees pitching durning  pitches 51-75 where they are hitting .286 with a .368 OBP. The Royals are hitting .188 but the Mariners are at .294. Mark Teixeira(1), Derek Jeter(6), Robinson Cano (4) and Melky Cabrera(3)/Brett Gardner(1) have combined for 15 errors,...

By Angelo This was a great pick for the Yankees in my opinion. It looks like the Yankees are trying to stack up on talented young positional players this year. It's about time! http://www.soxandpinstripes.com/sox_and_pinstripes/2009/06/the-international-free-agent-period-gary-sanchez.h...

By BHL I have been of the opinion for quite some time that Fenway Park is past its day and should be demolished, and with a recent trip to see the New York Yankees take on the New York Mets on June 13, 2009, I'm not quite sure I can happily attend another Red Sox game at Fenway.

By Tom Schecter Paul O'Neill, David Cone, and Tino Martinez got probably the loudest cheers from the first audience ever to set foot in the new Yankee Stadium. Other well-loved notables: Berra, Randolph, Boomer Wells (who sat in the bleachers for the game!) and Goony Bird Larsen.

By Vince Mercandetti Lost in the shuffle of the offseason under the pile of new signings, position battles and A-Rod dramas was perhaps the most exciting part of 2009 for Yankees fans;their new stadium.
