Yankees Season Opener

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.

Sabathia wins 10th, Hughes records first save as Yanks extend streak

No matter what time the game starts these days, the New York Yankees are ready to win.

Mark Teixeira homered and drove in three runs, CC Sabathia recovered from a shaky start and New York extended its winning streak to seven Thursday night with a rain-delayed 6-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics. Jorge Posada knocked in two runs and Phil Hughes tossed two perfect innings for his first major league save as New York increased its AL East lead to 2 1/2 games over idle Boston.

CC, Yanks roll to road rout of Twins

admin — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 16:17:00 +0000

Even for the recently high-flying Yankees, the thought of a six-game road trip against the Twins and Angels was enough to furrow a few brows. A stumble before the All-Star break had the potential to do more than arrest this team’s progress. It had the potential to reverse it.

But in 3 1/2 hours of convincing baseball on Tuesday, CC Sabathia and the Bronx Bombers reaffirmed that the past two weeks have not been a fluke. They hit as well as they pitched, they pitched as well as they hit, and they bundled all of that into a 10-2 victory at the Metrodome.

CC's start depends on bullpen session

admin — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 18:58:42 +0000

ATLANTA — If there is a significant hurdle standing between CC Sabathia and a Subway Series start against the Mets on Friday, the left-handed ace doesn’t see it.

Sabathia expects to throw a light bullpen session on Wednesday at Turner Field to determine if he can continue to be listed as New York’s starting pitcher for the Yankees’ first visit to Citi Field. “I’m going to go out there and feel good and be able to pitch,” Sabathia said. “I feel like I’m going to feel fine tomorrow. That’s why I keep saying I’m going to be pitching on Friday.” Sabathia is battling tendinitis in his left biceps, which he called “a little tired arm” in speaking to reporters on Tuesday. Sabathia said he spent the off-day icing a couple of times at the Yankees’ team hotel outside Atlanta, and will continue to receive treatment in advance of the start.
