I hate blaming umpires for a Yankee loss, but tonight’s firstbase umpire cost the Yankees one of the most important games of the year. The play above is the last play of the game. With a man on first and third, one out, 5-4, bottom of the ninth, Mark Teixeira hit a groundball. [...]

This had the makings of another annoyingly frustrating game for the Yankees even though it seemed like it could possibly be a cakewalk at first – something the Yankees haven’t had in a while.

After three full innings of scoreless baseball by both starters Wei-Yin Chin and Phil Hughes, the Yankees struck first [...]

Welp, we’re back to a tie in the AL East.

Tonight’s pitching was terrible. David Phelps gave up 5 runs, 4 in the first inning, through just 4.0 IP. He set a terrible tone for tonight’s game. Joba Chamberlain came in relief and allowed just one hit, though it was a [...]

Tonight could have been devastating. The Yankees could have potentially lost their AL East lead, and further, been swept by the Rays. Alas, the Yankees won and the Orioles lost, a great night compared to what we’ve been accustomed to lately.

Something had to go right to create a win tonight, and Hiroki [...]

The best we can hope for is that every subsequently loss from this team is the lowest point of the season. The Yankees have now lost 4 of their last 5 series, have only won 3 of their last 10 games, and are now tied with the Orioles in September, after once holding a 10 [...]

It feels like the Yankees always look terrible in Tropicana Field. We all hoped that would end entering this huge series, but it didn’t. Quite simply, when things could go wrong, they went wrong.

CC Sabathia did not look sharp today, but he doesn’t have to be sharp to be good. He gave [...]

This felt like another one of those games. You know, the kind where the Yankees could not get anything going and the opposition’s luck was just better.

David Phelps walked the world or so it seemed and the Orioles once again were given an early lead. Phelps allowed a 1/3 of the batters [...]

Abysmal: Extremely bad; appalling

That’s the word I’d use for tonight’s loss to Baltimore. And thanks to that dreadful showing by the Yankees, their Division lead is down to two games.

Hiroki Kuroda didn’t help his own cause when he gave up two singles and a sac fly to start the second inning. [...]
