Andy Pettitte carried a perfect game into the 7th inning last night against the Baltimore Orioles, but with 2 outs in the 7th Jerry Hairston Jr. ,who was playing third base to give Alex Rodriguez a day off, allowed a ball to go through his legs for an error, ending the perfect game. The next [...]

Scattered thoughts after a walk off victory
As you know, last night the Yankees defeated the White Sox by the score of 5-2. Here is how it all went down. Derek Jeter homered to lead off the game, and Johnny Damon hit a home run in the 3rd inning to put the Yankees up 2-0. CC Sabathia pitched shut out the White Sox through 6 [...]

The Greatest Game of The Season
Last night Alex Rodriguez hit a walk off two run homer (the only runs of the game!) to defeat the Red Sox in 15 innings. Last night’s game was easily the biggest game of the season so far for the Yankees, their pitching dueled the Red Sox pitching for 15 innings in what would become [...]

Game 85: Yankees 6, Twins 4
Earlier today the Yankees defeated the Twins, taking the season sweep versus Minnesota. It was also the Yankees last game ever to be played at the Metrodome (unless the two teams meet in the playoffs), and while the building won’t be dearly missed, I thought it had some charm. Anyway, on to the game recap.
On [...]

Game 81: Yankees 10, Blue Jays 8
I’m not going to have a long recap this time. The story of the game was Alfredo Aceves, but I’ll get to him a little later. As you know, Joba Chamberlain started this game, and through 2 innings he didn’t look that bad, although he was getting into deep counts. The third inning was a [...]

Game 71: Yankees 8, Braves 4
Tonight the Yankees defeated the Braves by the score of 8 to 4. While it may look like an ordinary win, it was not quite. Through 5 innings the Yankees did not have a single base runner, and it looked like another night of losing to Cy Young. However, the story changed in the 6th [...]

Yankees win 15-0
It was a fun day in the Bronx. The Yankees roughed up Johan Santana for 9 earned runs, the most he has ever given up in his career. That pretty much tells the story, but I want to sum up the game with some pictures, and then the boxcore. It’s nice to win one with [...]

Game 54: Yankees 8 Rangers 6
I didn’t see much of today’s game, but I did see the most important part. I literally walked in the door, sat down, turned on the game, and saw Melky’s at bat in which he hit the game winning 2 run home run. It was not a walk off home run because it was in [...]

As you can see, the Yankees lost the game by a score of 8-4. It may not sound like a really close game, but if you take a closer look you can see that the Yankees led the game 1-0, on a Matsui RBI single in the 1st. CC was pitching [...]

Going into the bottom of the ninth, the Yankees were trailing 9-8. Mark Teixeira started the 9th with a walk, followed by Matsui and Cano who both singled to load the bases with nobody out for Jorge Posada. Posada worked the count, and he eventually singled to left center to score [...]
