While Alex Rodriguez and Brian Cashman continue to dicker over the third baseman’s reinstatement to the active roster, the Yankees are set to welcome back the man they traded for Arod 10 years ago. The acquisition of Alfonso Soriano juxtaposed against the Rodriquez saga might seem like an amusing coincidence, but both events say quite […]

Looks Who’s Talking; Cashman Rips Arod, but GM Needs to Take His Own Advice
Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Arod, Baseball, Brian Cashman, Yankees on June 26, 2013 | Leave a Comment »
Alex Rodriguez may not have been expecting a re-tweet from Brian Cashman, but he sure got a direct message. The last eight months haven’t been kind to Arod, who has endured an emasculating postseason, winter hip surgery and Biogensis allegations since last October. So, when the embattled third baseman finally received some good news, he couldn’t contain his excitement. After […]
Yankees Pushing Their Luck With Depleted Offense

The Yankees are a very lucky team, at least according to Pythagoras. After losing last night’s doubleheader night cap by a 6-0 margin, the Bronx Bombers have now allowed just as many runs as they have scored. Normally, being run neutral is indicative of a .500 team, but, despite recent struggles, the Yankees currently sit […]

The Bronx Bombers’ offense continues to make history this season, just not the kind Yankee fans have come to expect. Scoring two runs in 18 innings has not been a problem for the 2013 Yankees. The team has already had two sets of consecutive games with either zero or one run scored, compared to no […]

(The following was originally published at SB*Nation’s Pinstriped Bible) The 2013 Yankees are giving new meaning to the word “out”field. In the team’s first 64 games, hitters occupying the three outfield positions have combined to post an unimpressive line of .258/.309/.401, which, in terms of OPS, ranks as not only one of the worst rates in […]
All’s Not Well for Yankees as Team Looks to Angel in the Outfield

(The following was originally published at SB*Nation’s Pinstriped Bible) The Yankees are paying the price for a thrifty off season. Because of the team’s decision to cut costs instead of maintain depth, the Bronx Bombers have been forced to scrape the bottom of the barrel to supplement a roster ravaged by injuries and free agent departures. As a result of […]
Pop Goes the Season; Teixeira’s Wrist Injury Leaves Yankees Limp

Mark Teixeira heard a pop in his wrist. Now, the Yankees have to hope the air hasn’t been let out of their season. Even before Teixeira was diagnosed with a strained tendon that will sideline him for 8-10 weeks, the Yankees’ Opening Day lineup figured to be one of their weakest in recent history. That […]
