I sat down to write something profound and deep about baseball, but was too excited and nervous and just teetering on the precipice of crazy to string sentences together into a coherent thought. Instead, I watched videos from the 2009 postseason and the TBS Yankees commercial a number of times until my excitement started to [...]
Last week, it became clear that baseball was moving towards expanding the playoffs to ten teams, adding one from each league. The details have yet to be hammered out, but we know that the two wildcard teams would play each other in some format, whether it’s a best of three or a one game, winner [...]
Apparently baseball’s GM’s support the plan to expand the postseason (via Craig):
The general managers are all meeting in Florida this week and, as we’ve expected, one of the items on the agenda will be making a proposal to Commissioner Selig about expanding the first round of the playoffs with an additional wild card [...]
I figure this is as good a time as any to make my return from hiatus. Below are a few randomly optimistic thoughts about the Yankees’ chances in Game 6.
Phil Hughes should pitch better than he did in Game 2, when he was pounded for 7 runs on 10 hits in 4 innings. He [...]
With the Rays and Rangers headed for a sure to be thrilling Game 5 in their ALDS series, I wanted to get a vibe for who our readers are rooting for in that series. Both teams would provide a strong matchup for the Yankees, but each has different stengths and weaknesses that could create unique [...]

Now that the Yankees have clinched a spot in the postseason, it is once again safe to discuss the postseason roster. I last did so at the end of August, and provided the following list of players I believe to be locks:
Position Players (12)
Jorge Posada
Francisco Cervelli
Mark Teixeira
Managerial decisions heading into October are often predicated on a player’s splits from that year, so I wanted to do a post on some of the more notable splits of prominent Yankees. Should help shed some light on why Girardi will go in one direction or another, and recap how players have performed in situational [...]
