New York Yankees

By Alden Gonzalez Who will prevail in the ALCS? That will be decided on the field -- not on paper -- soon enough. But some of the top journalists in the country have already weighed in with their predictions for the Angels vs. the Yankees. ALCS predicted to be long, hard fight

By Doug Rush A lot has changed in nine years; Joe Girardi has gone from Yankees catcher to Yankees manager, CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett are the one-two Yankees punch in the rotation and not Roger Clemens and David Wells, and Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez are the key power hitters, and not Bernie Willi...

By Rumplestiltskin02 I believe this series could go either way, but I'll say that since we're at home, we take 2 of 3 from Boston, which puts us up 4.5.

By Maryland Orioles' Fan(noreply@blogger.com) Well, here's somewhat discouraging news if you have been following the whole Mark Teixeira drama. Granted, he's not signed with anyone and no one knows what the Angels, Yankees along with the Red Sox have offered the slugger; however, it looks like Andy MacPhail may be focusing on fixing t...

By Vince Mercandetti I'm completely aware about the offense too. It should not have been so inconsistent at times this year. There is no reason that extended absenses of two-time MVP winner (in the last three years), Alex Rodriguez, Captain and clutch-hitting Derek Jeter, leadoff hitting spark plug, Johnny D...

By Rick Chandler • 2. Bonds Homers, Giants Lose, Life Goes On. Meanwhile, Barry Bonds hit home run No. 712 in the Giants' 5-3 loss to San Diego, leaving him two short of Babe Ruth. It came in the eighth inning, with the Padres ahead by three and nobody on. It all seems very sad, somehow; like Bonds is taking handouts. I...
