Girardi Going With Backup Plan as AJ’s Start Sends Posada to the Bench

Posted in Baseball, MLB, Roster Analysis, Yankees, tagged , on October 19, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

As if the decision to start AJ Burnett in game four wasn’t controversial enough, Joe Girardi has compounded his decision by substituting Francisco Cervelli for Jorge Posada. Apparently, the decision to go with Cervelli was predicated on the need to make AJ Burnett feel more comfortable, which on the surface seems to have some merit. After all, […]

Andy Pettitte, the pitcher with the most wins in the postseason, threw one his better games in October, but the Yankees still lost. In fact, they never really had a chance. That’s how good Cliff Lee was last night, as the Rangers’ ace joined Warren Spahn, Randy Johnson and Sandy Koufax as lefties who have […]

For the most part, the “Year of the Pitcher” has carried over to October. Only two games into the post season, Roy Halladay had thrown a no hitter and Tim Lincecum shut down the Braves with a 14 strikeout, two-hit performance. Based on game score, both efforts ranked among the five best October pitching performances ever, but […]

One day after blowing a five run lead in the final three innings, Ron Washington vowed that if his team was presented with the same opportunity again, they would not let it get away.

Texas-Sized Comeback; Yankees Make History By Rallying to Win ALCS Opener

Posted in Baseball, Baseball History, Game Recap, MLB, Yankee History, Yankees, tagged on October 16, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Coming from behind has long been a Yankees’ hallmark. In the regular season, the team recorded a major’s best 48 comebacks, and then in the ALDS added two more for good measure. Overcoming a five run deficit with only three innings to play, well, that’s another matter altogether. In fact, in their history of 356 postseason […]
