Arod Saddles Up to Iron Horse in the Record Book

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Arod, Baseball, Baseball History, MLB, Yankees, tagged on April 24, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

In last night’s 15-3 drubbing of the Baltimore Orioles, Alex Rodriguez tied Lou Gehrig for one record and moved to within a nose of the Iron Horse for another. During the Yankees seven run outburst in the eighth inning, Alex Rodriguez capped off the scoring with a grand slam. The bases loaded clout was the 22nd of […]

Going, Going Ogando: Yankees Touch Up Rangers Righty for Three Long Balls, but Win Game on Chavez’ RBI Single

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Baseball, Game Recap, MLB, Yankees, tagged on April 18, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

No Alex Rodriguez? No problem (at least for one game). Despite being without their red hot slugger, the Yankees lineup didn’t miss a beat. After falling behind early, the Bronx Bombers belted three more homeruns, pushing their major league leading total to 27. The decisive blow, however, wasn’t a long ball, but rather a clutch […]

Not Bad for Starters: Garcia Throws Six Shutout Innings, Wins Yankee Debut

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Baseball, Game Recap, MLB, Yankees, tagged , , on April 16, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Yesterday, the Yankees died by the double play. Today, it gave them new life. In a scenario eerily reminiscent of last Tuesday’s 5-4 loss to Minnesota, the Yankees took a substantial lead into the eighth inning, but watched as Rafael Soriano gradually frittered it away. With two runs already across the plate, Adrian Beltre lofted […]

Yankees Salvage Another Poor Outing from Hughes with a Serving of Pie

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Baseball, Game Recap, MLB, Yankees, tagged on April 15, 2011 | 1 Comment »

When Phil Hughes walked off the mound to a smattering of boos in the fifth inning, a walk off victory for the Yankees didn’t seem likely. However, thanks to some late clutch hitting and strong relief, pie was back on the menu by the end of the game. In his first two innings, Hughes looked […]

Justice Denied: Bonds Found Guilty as Steroid Era Myth Adds Another Chapter

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Baseball, MLB, Yankees, tagged on April 14, 2011 | 6 Comments »

The U.S.government was finally able to pin a felony on Barry Bonds (assuming the verdict isn’t set aside by the judge), and it only took six years and about $10 million to do it. Considering that the original indictment included 11 counts, the lone guilty verdict doesn’t seem like much of a victory for the […]

More of the Same: Yanks Feast on Buck’s Birds in First Meeting of Season

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Baseball, Game Recap, MLB, Yankees, tagged on April 13, 2011 | 1 Comment »

Buck Showalter’s new and improved Orioles left Yankee Stadium with the same old result: a loss. One pattern from past seasons that didn’t hold, however, was the performance of A.J. Burnett. Over the first two innings, the Yankee right hander struggled with his command and mechanics, but managed to pitch around trouble in each frame […]

Catching Up with the Yankees’ Universe After a Trip to Another World

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Baseball, Culture, MLB, Yankees, tagged on April 13, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

In a baseball sense, Peru is on another planet. Despite my best efforts to propagate the faith on a trip two years ago, baseball remains a relatively unknown game in the Andean region of South America. At least some progress has been made, however. During a return trip that spanned the past 10 days, I […]
