A-Rod is in Tonight against the Phillies

Posted by GameSetMatch on 16th June 2010

New York Yankees third baseman, Alex Rodriguez will be in the Yankees line up tonight against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rodriguez will bat clean up and will play as the designated hitter. Hopefully his minor groin injury will not affect his plate appearance and he can help the Yankees take another game from the Phillies. Rodriguez was batting a .317 in his last 10 games before his injury occurred.

Yankees Dominance Over Twins Ends

Posted by homerunheyer on 17th May 2010

The New York Yankees have completely dominated the Minnesota Twins at home since 2002 with a record of 25-3 before Sunday afternoon’s game. It looked like the Yankees were going to win again yesterday afternoon when the unimaginable happened.

The game was in the bag, Mariano Rivera was summoned in the bottom of the eight inning to record a four out save. Rivera has been perfect all season, he didn’t let up any runs in all his save oppurtunites… until yesterday. Viewers might have thought they were dreaming, but it is true, Rivera facing Jason Kubel with the bases loaded let up a grand slam! Rivera has only let up four grand slams in his career and the last time Rivera let up a grand slam at home was back in 1995! With Kubel’s grand slam, he stopped Rivera’s consecutive save streak at home with 51, tied with Eric Gagne.

In the bottom of the 9th inning the Yankees tried to rally back. Teixiera got up as the tying run with two outs and a runner on first and second and struck out looking on a pitch that was clearly inside but ruled a strike. The Yankees haven’t brought out any pies yet this year, they had a chance yesterday to bring their walk-off magic of last year back, but they fell short.

Rivera is not a machine, he is human. It was bound to happen sometime. Sometimes he is so dominate it is completely shocking when he fails, especially in the fashion that he did yesterday. Every year this happens and fans think, “Oh no, he’s falling apart! Is he at the end of his line?” Then by the end of the year fans forget that his few early season mishaps even happened. Rivera may have a few more bad games to come but his good games will outweigh the bad ones so much that they will be forgotten like usual.

The Twins finally got the monkey off their back defeating the Yankess 6-3. (Yankees.com)

Javier Vazquez can’t catch a break!

Posted by GameSetMatch on 13th May 2010

Yesterday afternoon, Vazquez pitched the first game of the Yankees day-night doubleheader in Detroit. Vazquez has struggled all season long coming into yesterday’s game with a 9.78 ERA. After being skipped in his last start against the Red Sox, Vazquez had an opportunity to redeem himself against the Tigers.

Vazquez showed why the Yankees traded for him by only allowing one hit over the first five innings. In the sixth inning Vazquez ran into a little trouble allowing two runs to score, but that was all the runs the Tigers scored in the game.

Vazquez wound up going seven innings allowing two runs on five hits. If it wasn’t for the stellar pitching of 21 year old Rick Porcello of the Tigers, Vazquez would have recorded his second win of the season. Porcello went seven innings of shutout baseball. Perry came in for the eighth to secure the hold for Jose Valverde who came away with his tenth save.

This was the first time the Yankees lost by a shutout all season and it is the first time they lost three games in a row this season. The only positive the Yankees can take from their loss is that Vazquez was finally back to himself. If he keeps on pitching like he did yesterday, his wins will eventually pick up and their rotation will be solid from top to bottom. (mlb.com) (yankees.com)

New York Yankees president Randy Levine tells Brewers owner to ’stop whining’ about payroll

Posted by GameSetMatch on 7th April 2010

Yankees president Randy Levine has heard it often, but he’s had enough of complaints from small-market owners about payroll disparity.

Milwaukee owner Mark Attanasio was quoted in Monday’s USA Today saying, “We’re struggling to sign (Prince Fielder) and the Yankees infield is making more” than the entire Brewers roster.

“As I’ve said, Mark’s a good friend, but he needs to stop whining and complaining about our player payroll,” Levine told the Daily News. “We play by all the rules, and we always have. We’ve contributed hundreds of millons of dollars in revenue sharing and no one complains when they get the money.

“But use that money to sign your players. Period. As you notice, the complaining always comes from others, not from us.”

Yankees Season Opener

Posted by superior on 6th April 2010

The New York Yankees opened the season with a 7-9 loss to the Red Sox after an uncharacteristically sloppy performance from star pitcher CC Sabathia. The Red Sox’s preseason deals paid off, signing Mike Cameron, Adrian Beltre and Marco Scutaro, who combined went 5 for 9 with 3 RBIs. OBP monster Kevin Youkilis’s three extra-base hits and Dustin Pedroia’s two-run homer sealed the deal for the Yankees, coming back from a 5-7 deficit.

While the Yankees lost, their offseason trade for Curtis Granderson already panned out, who hit a home run in his first at-bat in pinstripes.

While these two teams are no stranger to high scoring affairs, they must be left wondering what the $200M+ payroll afforded to Sabathia and Beckett earned them. The poor outing comes at a bad time for Beckett who is in the middle of negotiating a long-term deal with the Sox. Luckily, one rocky start can’t discredit these aces who will surely show why they are worth the dump truck of money that gets unloaded onto their laps every game.

This matchup is one that will provide excitement for the rest of the season and yesterday’s game was no exception.

Rodriguez ‘at ease’ with Galea

Posted by GameSetMatch on 9th March 2010

Alex Rodriguez says he is “at ease, no matter what” with his relationship with a Canadian sports doctor embroiled in a cross-border drug smuggling investigation involving human growth hormone and another drug.

Rodriguez told reporters Tuesday at the Yankees spring training complex that he still does not know when he will be interviewed by federal authorities. The slugger said last week he was “aware” of the investigation and plans to cooperate with the government.

When asked if he is choosing not to talk or has been told not to speak, Rodriguez laughed and says he “thinks the latter.”

Joba wants to start in 2010

Posted by GameSetMatch on 18th November 2009

Unless he’s told otherwise, Joba Chamberlain anticipates being in the Yankees’ starting rotation in 2010.

Sure, he knows there’s never any guarantees. At least as a member of the World Series champions, Chamberlain has a shorter off-season – meaning less time to consider the winter what-ifs.

He’s already been receiving text messages and calls about the Hot Stove League.

“[It's] not so much the rumors part of things [I pay attention to], just kind of the way things are going to shape up, what’s going to happen and just the overall feel of [it],” Chamberlain said Tuesday afternoon.
