6 inches.
The pitcher who couldn’t throw a strike threw a fastball down the middle, and the ball took off into the cold Detroit night sky. The merry-go-round of baserunners started to move, while the reliever warming in the bullpen continued to throw. The ex-Tigers’ star patrolling center field froze for an instant, as many [...]
I thought Yankees fans were savvy. I thought flags fly forever. I thought guys who play hurt and push themselves through injuries are applauded for their fortitude. So why are we booing the guy most responsible for our only championship [...]
This was my last stab at the postseason roster, compiled about a week ago:

1B Mark Teixeira
2B Robinson Cano
3B Alex Rodriguez
SS Derek Jeter
RF Nick Swisher
CF Curtis Granderson

The first thing I noticed was that the season begins on April 6th, which means that it once again leaks into October. After one season of moving the start date back [...]
With Scott Proctor back on the Yankees’ roster, I’ve been looking back at the way the club used relievers at the end of the Joe Torre era. Torre had a reputation for burning through his best arms, leaning on any decent reliever he could find for as long as the player was reasonably effective and [...]
Chris Carpenter has apparently re-signed with the St. Louis Cardinals, inking a 2 year, 21 million dollar extension that will likely keep him a Redbird through the end of his career. This is significant for the Yankees, as it takes another solid option out of the mix from a free agent market [...]
About a week ago, Mike Axisa over at RAB wrote about the odd season that Boone Logan is having:
