With the recent Jorge Posada-drama, I thought it would be interesting to take a look back and see how some legendary Yankees ended their relationships with the team. I’ll use the Yankee retired numbers as a starting point for this exercise, since those are players whose exploits in pinstripes were such that they received [...]
Random notes from around the league:
By Matt Warden On May 20, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In Former Players, Musings, News and notes, Uncategorized
Former Yankee, Jason Giambi, had what was probably his most productive evening in the past five years last night. He became the second oldest player to hit three homeruns in a single game (oldest is Stan Musial). Giambino’s three bombs garnered seven RBI which tied his career high in a single game. [...]
With the past 24 hours being overwhelmed by Posada-gate, I’ll just tie up some loose ends with Jorge before moving on to tonight’s game.
-Jack Curry Tweets that “Posada said he apologized to Girardi. “I had a bad day yesterday,” he said.
-Brian Hoch Tweets that Jorge plans to talk to Brian [...]
Any Yankee fan with a television or internet connection knows by now what happened last night with Jorge Posada. He arrived at the ballpark yesterday and saw that he was batting 9th, and initially seemed (at least publicly) to have no issue with it. Then he “threw a hissy fit” in the managers office [...]

The death of Osama Bin Laden sparked a wave of patriotic fervor that swept across the United States. One of the most vivid images of this spontaneous reaction took place at Citizens Bank Ballpark, where fans started to chant “U-S-A” during the tenth [...]

For most of his career, Derek Jeter has been a mainstay atop the Yankees lineup. Since the start of the 1998 season, the Captain has started only one game lower than third in the batting order, and that time he was called [...]
Jeter leads roster of Yanks’ All-Star hopefuls
Derek Jeter, a mainstay at the All-Star Game, is looking to appear in his sixth straight Midsummer Classic and his 12th overall, and the Yankees captain is hoping to have company from his teammates.
BA-.258 (Ranking among top 10 AL SS-#5)
OBP-.323 (Rank-#5)
SLG-.281 [...]
With a few weeks having passed in the 2011 season, it’s time to take this baby out for another spin. Pretty similar cast of characters from last year, since Brian Cashman had a relatively quiet off season this past year devoid of any blockbuster deals. But I will be adding some guys who made big [...]

One of the most exciting young players in the game today is Jose Tabata. However, because he plays in the relative obscurity of Pittsburgh, it’s likely that more than a few casual fans don’t even know his name.
Over the first two weeks of the [...]
Today is Aaron Boone‘s birthday, and I thought it would be fun to celebrate the occasion by trading war stories about the night that Boone vanquished the hated Red Sox and sent the Yankees to the 2003 World Series with one swing of the bat. I’ll get things started.
I was a [...]
