Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Arod, Baseball, Baseball History, George M. Steinbrenner, MLB, PEDs, Yankee History, Yankees on August 7, 2013 | 1 Comment »

One of the most prominent figures in all of sports, whose controversial tenure with the Yankees kept the tabloids in business, was given an unprecedented suspension from an overzealous commissioner who grossly overstepped his authority in handing down the ban. Although that neatly sums up the ongoing Alex Rodriguez saga, it could just as easily […]

Hiroki Kuroda’s Brilliance Thrusts Righty into Cy Young Race, Keeps Yankees in Playoff Hunt

Posted in Baseball, MLB, Yankee History, Yankees on August 1, 2013 | Leave a Comment »

  Hiroki Kuroda is the Yankees’ best starter. Even CC Sabathia doesn’t dispute the veteran right hander’s ascendance to ace status. However, designating Kuroda as the top pitcher in pinstripes doesn’t go far enough. The Japanese hurler just might be the best starter in the entire American League. Ask anyone to name the top contenders […]

There are lots of new faces wearing pinstripes this season, but last night, it was just like old times at Yankee Stadium.

Posted in Baseball, MLB, Opening Day, Yankee History, Yankees on April 1, 2013 | Leave a Comment »

The Yankees’ lineup will look a lot different this Opening Day, but the most conspicuous absence will be Derek Jeter, whose string of 11 consecutive starts comes to an end.

At Pinstriped Bible, I recently took a look at a “worst case” projection for the 2013 Yankees’ lineup and compared it some of the more futile Bronx Bomber offenses of the past.
