@Phillies 8, Yankees 6 Yankees: Alex Rodriguez (Foxes, '94): 2-for-4, RUN, 3RBI Phillies: Raul Ibanez (Foxes, '94): 2-for-4, RUN, 2RBI, HR Come on, MLB, no video of that tape measure shot by Ibanez? I suppose the two homers by Utley deserves it, but the scoreless relief stints by Alfredo Aceves and Phil Hughes? Seriousl...oh, wait. Here it is. Under the headline, Coke struggles in relief . Folks,...
A rough start by AJ Burnett on 3-days rest put the Yankees in a 6-2 hole that they were ultimately unable to recover from. The enigmatic righty lasted just 2+ innings, giving up 6 runs on 4 hits and 4 walks. After Alfredo Aceves and Dave Robertson combined for 4 innings of effective relief, 2 [...]

Joe Girardi costs his team 97% in Win Expectancy per game. The other 3% is the bridge to Mariano! Teh eighth inning!!! President Girardi replaces Secretary of State Clinton with AP History student because he "likes the matchup with North Korea better." ( Keith Law ) Joe Girardi is the reason the band MGMT abbreviated its name, not wanting to be associated with his management. Joe Girardi...
With the 2009 World Series well underway (split one game apiece between the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies), let's take this opportunity to break down each club to see how, where, and when each club obtained its talent. The Yankees organization has a long-standing reputation for "buying" its talent on the free agent market... but that really started about 15 years ago. Is...
The World Series rosters are in. The Yankees dropped their 3rd catcher, Francisco Cervelli and pinch runner OF Freddy Guzman from the World Series roster. Instead, they added Brian Bruney and Eric Hinske. These moves had to be made, and it all looks good now. Pitching: 91 Alfredo Aceves RHP, 99 Brian Bruney RHP, 34 A.J. Burnett RHP, [...]

Jesse Spector of the Daily News wrote about this today, and I think he has a point. Spector isn't saying the Yankees will blow it, but if they do he thinks Girardi should go. Besides the terrible managerial decisions he's made that have directly led to the Yanks losing two games this series Spector points out the historic aspect of this and how most teams don't recover from such choke jobs, especially...
It's a busy week this week, so you'll have to do without a fancy intro... Question #1: The Yankees make the World Series and face the Phillies. However, both CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee get hurt along the way. Put together the new, presumably 4-man rotations for both teams. Alex Pedicini: For the Phillies I would roll out Cole Hamels , J.A. Happ , Pedro Martinez , and Joe Blanton . The Yankees rotation...
Yesterday, during the bottom half of the 11th inning and with the score tied, 4-4, Joe Girardi decided to replace David Robertson with Alfredo Aceves. Robertson had already retired both Juan Rivera and Kendry Morales, two of LA’s more dangerous hitters, and he seemed poised to dispose of the third batter, Howie Kendrick, who had [...]
Watching Mike Scioscia and Joe Girardi at work last night reminded me of one of the hardest things in managing: doing nothing. Anybody who has managed anything, even a Little League team or a Rotisserie baseball roster, knows that feeling: you've set your team, things go well, then they start getting tight, and you feel like you need to be doing something . Pull some levers, make something happen....
If the Angels win the ALCS there will be a great deal of blame thrown at Joe Girardi. By subbing for Johnny Damon he gave up the DH spot and had to pull Rivera out of the game to pinch hit for him. He later replaced Robinson with Alfredo Aceves who gave up the winning hit. Rivera earlier got the Yankees out of a bases loaded jam by employing an illegal spitball. Watch below:
