The Yankees’ Core Four has been whittled down to one man standing. All within a matter of days, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte have succumb to strains and pains of various severities. Only Derek Jeter has been able to keep himself out of the MRI tube, so you can’t blame the Captain if […]

Nicked Up: Johnson, Swisher Hurt Orioles, but Pettitte Leaves Early With Stiff Arm

So, this is how the other half lives. With both Mariano Rivera and Joba Chamberlain unavailable in the bullpen, the Yankees were forced to sweat out what otherwise would have been a rather comfortable win. Once again, Joe Girardi’s curious handling of the bullpen put the game in jeopardy, but he eventually came to his […]

Andy Pettitte takes the mound as the Yankees look to sweep the Orioles and wrap up their six game home stand on a winning note. Pettitte is coming off his weakest outing of the year, but that only speaks to the brilliance of the previous four. Pettitte’s hot start has left him with a career […]

The 6’4”, 240lb right hander would enter the game with a 99mph fastball and menacing glare, but ultimately get beat by pitching around the strike zone and then hanging a slider. Even more frustrating, he proved to be a fragile creature, seldom […]

Tonight’s game was really a tale of two half innings. In the top of the third, AJ Burnett yielded an infield single and a walk before throwing Cesar Izturis’ sacrifice bunt down the right field line. With one run in, no outs and men on second and third, the stage was set for a Burnett […]
Game 26: Orioles vs. Yankees

AJ Burnett and Brain Matusz hook up in yet another series rematch. Last time around, Burnett earned the victory with eight shutout innings, but Matusz pitched well in defeat. The Yankees can probably expect to see a better performance this time around. The lineup features Derek Jeter’s first game as DH as well as Marcus […]
