By Administrator The first-place Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees thumped the Pawtucket Red Sox, 6-1, this evening in front of a crowd of 10,924 at McCoy Stadium. After 2B Travis Denker hit a solo home run in the second inning to stake the PawSox to a 1-0 lead, the Yankees scored single runs in the third and fif...

By Ian Hunter The key to the Yankees' resurgence can be linked to one player: Mark Teixeira. Now the focus for the Blue Jays turns to this four-game series inside the “House that Hank Built”. It’s important for them to do well, because this is the most crucial series that the Blue Jays will play in the first h...

By Administrator Myrtle Beach LF Cody Johnson had a pair of hits, including his 21st homer of the 2009 season — a grand slam — to pace the Pels attack. The Red Sox offense managed just four hits as the club fell to 6-2 in the half. The only run came courtesy of a solo home run by RF Jason Place in the seventh inning.

By A.J. Martelli With the home run, Griffey has now left 44 different ballparks in his Major League career and has 621 lifetime home runs. It was his 10th of 2009.

By Angelo Bannuelos has a pretty high-ceiling, but I don't expect him to make it the big leagues anytime soon. It looks like the Yankees are going to take it slow with Bannuelos. What's the rush? He's only 18 years old, there's no point in ruining his psyche by trying to make him fly through the minor leag...

The Yankees are turning this Subway Series into a monumental mismatch. A.J. Burnett combined with two relievers on a one-hitter, Nick Swisher and Jorge Posada made Citi Field seem small with opposite-field homers, and the Yankees rolled past the Mets again, 5-0 Saturday night.

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 Dan Morra Joe Girardi has certainly been one of the major underachievers on the Yankee team.  Offense would suffer, but perhaps Jorge Posada could provide help as a DH.  Hank and Hal Steinbrenner make suggestions, but are nowhere near as forceful or as influential as their father.

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 Jeff Louderback Fast forward to 2009. The Red Sox have won two World Series titles since 2004 and have reached the ALCS in four of the last six seasons. Thanks to Theo Epstein's blueprint of building a deep and talented farm system, and John Henry's willingness to open his wallet, Boston is a perennial World S...

By Matthew Irby Still with a 4.5 game lead in the AL West on the Angels, the Rangers went into week nine of the season with a trip to the Northeast to square off with the Yankees and Red Sox. The Rangers lone highlight of the evening was a three-run home run by Nelson Cruz, his 15th of the season.

By Peter Abraham It would be nice if the conversion of Joba Chamberlain from wunderkind reliever to dominating starter was a smooth one. But he is a 23-year-old in his first full year as a starter. There are going to be bumps and that’s what you saw tonight. Joe Girardi insisted Chamberlain was fine physically....

By Isaac Elyacharshuster In what was claimed to be a regular off day for New York Yankee captain, Derek Jeter, 43,000-plus Canadian conspiracy theorists at the Roger's Center weren't having any of it. Eh-Rod" as Rodriguez is called in Canada is much more popular north of the border than he is in the states.

By Vince Mercandetti Enough is enough! For the second time this week the Yankees found a way to lose despite having the tying run in scoring position with less than two outs in the bottom of the ninth. In the opener against the Sox, New York had runners on third and second with nobody out against Jonathan Papelbon a...

By Vince Mercandetti Think about it before you make judgment; this isn't a desperation move, it's a logical one. The Red Sox didn't sign Brad Penny because they didn't have a suitable fifth starter, nor did they sign Saito because they didn't think they had a setup man. If you can criticize Brian Cashman for ANYTH...

By Shawn Makhani 1.  Yankee teammates had the most wonderful nickname for A-Rod that I can guarantee will be on a Red Sox shirt in the next week or so.  The Rangers are maybe a year away from contending and have the best farm system in the league.  Had Cashman let A-Rod walk and go to the Dodgers, he could've seen A-...

By Peter Abraham I was in Toronto on May 29, 2007 when Aaron Hill of the Jays stole home on Andy Pettitte. It wasn’t the back end of a double steal or some other trickery, it was a straight, Jackie Robinson mad dash and Pettitte was furious about it. Joe Girardi, a staunch defender of his players, offered no excus...

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 Peter Abraham Derek Jeter thought it was amusing because it was Swisher. “He’s not going to stop talking about it,” the captain said. But Jorge Posada was not amused. “Nobody was laughing,” he said. “I think today was embarrassing.” Maybe so. But Swisher is hitting .450 and has 10 RBI. Maybe everybody should hav...

By Peter Abraham Brian Cashman likes to say that the Yankees play 162 one-game seasons. Win and it’s a celebration. Lose and it’s a disaster. That’s not how they feel in the clubhouse. But in the outside world, some fans and even some in the media treat ever game like it’s the seventh game of the World Series. Girar...

By Peter Abraham The Yankees confirmed that Joba hit 96 today and was at 95 throughout his start. Counting the game against Team Canada, Chamberlain threw 20 innings this spring and struck out 20. UPDATE, 5:26 p.m.: Here’s Joba talking about his start:

Teixeira has already adapted the "World Series or bust" mentality that Derek Jeter has crooned for years, and honestly, who can blame him? After four years in Texas that resulted in a pair of third-place finishes and a pair of last-place finishes, Teixeira is excited to be in a camp where t...

By Vince Mercandetti JH: I was very sad during the closing ceremonies at the old Stadium, but as I wrote in the New York Times, it was a building. My memories are in my head. No matter where the Yankees play, I’ll always have them. So I’m looking forward to the new place with great anticipation. I just hope people can afford a ticket. Very pricey. S&P: How do you feel about Brian Cashman? Joe Girardi (now)? S&P: How will the 2009 Yankees do? JH: They’ll win their 27th championship, of course. Didn’t you read my article in last Sunday’s New York Times? I had a tarot card reading and the women assured me the Yanks would get it done. :) She specifically credited Sabathia and Teixeira with playing important roles.    [read the full post]
