Bunch of Solo HR’s power Yankees to win

The Yankees were playing at home tonight and that meant that HR balls would be flying out. That was the case in fact. The Yankees hit 4 solo home runs and won the game 5-3. Mark Teixeira, Nick Swisher, Johnny Damon, and Derek Jeter all hit HR’s. Tex hit his league leading 18th of the [...]

Yankees setting up Wang to Fail

I am not very happy with the move the Yankees made. First we took Hughes out of the rotation which I think was a mistake. He was just starting to pitch better and now we throw him back into the bullpen. I was okay with activating Chien Ming Wang because he looked like he was [...]

The Melk Man Delivers, again!

Melky Cabrera has been a hero at Yankee Stadium over and over again this year. He just keeps coming up with big hits and they aren’t just any type of big hit. They are usually walk-off and game winning hits. He is probably one of the biggest surprises on the Yankees this season. He lost [...]

Heard on WFAN 600 that Chien Ming Wang will start for the Yankees tomorrow and Phil Hughes will pitch out of the bullpen. It looks like the move came sooner than we expected. I am surprised that Phil Hughes got pushed to the bullpen. I guess we will learn more as this story unfolds. CC [...]

With Andy Pettitte to start tonight, what is Wang’s future?

There was question on whether or not Andy Pettitte would be able to make his start tonight. However he confirmed yesterday that he will be fine and good to go. I thought that with a hurting Pettitte, this would be a great time to throw Chien Ming Wang back into the rotation for a start [...]
