Joba to the bullpen?
I just was listening to Francesa, and he said by August 1st, Joba will be in the 'pen.This has been on the mind of many Yankee fans for quite a while as Joba has been only ok as a starter. He has lost about 5 MPH in velocity, which Girardi claims was...

Opening Day Pain
Yesterday, the day started out well enough with some nice opening day ceremonies, and the first at bat, and Jeter had the Babe's bat at home plate. As a joke he picked it up and pretended to get in the batter's box. The bat was then sent to the dugou...

Has anyone noticed?
The Yankee starting staff has begun to come around as Pettitte, Joba, and Burnett have done really well, all virtually lights out performances. Wang has been spotty, but he usually does struggle a bit early in the season. CC will be starting tonight....

She's been busy warming up for the last month, but then sudenly, things start to look good in the Bronx.Joba pitched tonight 1.1 innings, and looked good. He wasn't throwing as hard as he did before the injury, but he still brought it at 90 or so. Gi...
Such a season
The pain continues. Giese is on the DL now.I'm getting tired of everyone pointing out the Yankees payroll and laughing at their struggles. They have been so destroyed by injuries, it isn't even funny any more.What team would even be mentioned as havi...

Yankee bats are coming alive
A-Rod, Giambi and Posada all belted homers in yesterday's battle with the Royals. This is the team I expected, one with power, and the ability to put up a lot of runs in a hurry. So, I'm pretty happy about that. The staff is ailing, though. While it ...
Yankees Make it 4 straight
Mike Mussina pitched well enough to notch his 7th victory yesterday as he hung on for 5 innings while giving up 4 runs. It wasn't exactly a quality start, but it was good enough as the Yankees continued their assault on Mariners pitching with a 16 hi...
