Rain’s Rant – The Definitive Joba-to-the-Pen Example

We’ve now seen it. The definitive example of why Joba Chamberlain needs to be our 8th inning setup man in the bullpen.
Last night, somehow, someway, Alex Rodriguez had the intestinal fortitude to get a hit when we needed it, and put the Yankees in the position to win the game going into the bottom of [...]

Is Joba fighting for his spot in the rotation tonight?

Joba Chamberlain has been one of the hot topics surrounding the New York Yankees as of late. With Phil Hughes looking much better as a starter and Wang pitching pretty well of the bullpen, everyone is talking about Joba Chamberlain heading to the bullpen. Mike Francessa of WFAN 660 AM is a strong believer that [...]

Frustrating to see Carl Pavano dominate the Yankees

Yesterday, Carl Pavano made his second start of the season against the New York Yankees. He didn’t get the decision but pitched great once again. In 13 and 1/3 innings, Pavano has allowed just 11 hits and 4 runs. The Yankees have won and lost in his two starts this season but Pavano has done [...]

Mark your calendars, Torre and Dodgers visit Yankee Stadium in 2010

The official schedule for the 2010 season hasn’t been put out yet. However, the NY Post is reporting that a source said the Dodgers are slated for a 3-game inter-league series in the Bronx. That would be Torre’s first trip back to Yankee Stadium. It will be very emotional and although the crowd will cheer [...]

Brian Cashman comments on Wang and Bruney

via Chad Jennings:
Wang:
“Performance-wise he was terrific. This was a much better hitting club. Columbus is a much better offensive club than the team he was facing last time, but his stuff was better last time to be honest. Although he performed great in both outings, he didn’t have the slider that he had last time. [...]

NYU Commencement at Yankee Stadium and the Legends Seats are still empty! HAHA

NYU held their 2009 Commencement Ceremony at Yankee Stadium. Pretty cool if you are going to NYU. I posted a couple of pictures below which came from the Subway Chatter Blog. You can see that all the Legends Seats are empty! What are the Yankees thinking? I know Yankees COO Lon Trost said that only [...]

Yankees are in big big trouble…

When we signed Mark Teixeira, CC Sabathia, and AJ Burnett and I told you on May 12th we would be under .500 you would of laughed in my face. Welcome to reality. The Yankees have been putrid and so hard to watch, it’s about time someone took responsibility. This time last year the Yankees were [...]

These Yankees’ are too business oriented

I was reading online that the Yankees paid New York City $11.5 million for the rights to sell or auction off memorabilia from the old stadium. The Yankees know that a lot of the stuff from that building is history and people will pay a ton for it. The old seats are ranging between $1500 [...]

Rain’s Rant – Why Girardi is no Torre

The Yankees are 7-8 at home this year, 13-13 overall, and our manager is such a moron that he pulled our supposed future ace, Joba Chamberlain, from the game, after 8 straight strikeouts in the top of the sixth inning. I really could give two craps about pitchcounts, innings, whatever, and as I stared at [...]

A Statement from Hal Steinbrenner: Yankees to lower ticket prices

“A few weeks ago I indicated that in light of the economy we would review the pricing of a small number of our premium locations at Yankee Stadium; specifically, our Suite Seats. I mentioned a small number of locations because in excess of 3.4 million seats, including 37,000 full season equivalents as well as approximately [...]
