Finally, a ring for Brian Bruney! Sincere congratulations to the New York Yankees and their humble fans on last night’s World Series-clinching 7-3 defeat of the Phillies, a victory that set off wild celebrations…in the executive offices of Modell’s Sporting Goods. While some will hail Hideki Matsui’s astonishing offensive display in Game 6 as [...]

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...

For those of you left homeless and/or hopeless by the devastation Hurricane Cliff caused last night, it's probably no consolation that the sun is shining today. No consolation that yes, the Series will go on, at least for a few days more. No consolation that there's still a chance to even up the Series, no consolation that last night might be the last time we see Brian Bruney in 2009. All you can think...

The Yankees suffered their first Game 1 loss of the postseason last night, as the Phillies padded their lead late en route to a 6-1 victory . Starter CC Sabathia was hurt by two solo shots from Chase Utley, while Cliff Lee went the distance allowing just one unearned run. Once Sabathia had left, the close game fell apart for the Yankees. Damaso Marte let up both inherited runners from Phil Hughes in...

Cliff Lee was amazing tonight, the offense was horrible, and the bullpen couldn’t get the job done when they were called upon. CC Sabathia pitched seven solid innings, allowing two earned runs and didn’t get one run of support by his offense.You can give credit to Cliff Lee because he pitched really well, but the Yankees [...] Added by: zellyanks91 Viewed: 0 time(s) Tags/Keywords: yankees...

Photograph of Phil Hughes giving the ball to manager Joe Girardi by David Phillip/AP Philadelphia 6 Yankees 1 : The Yankees looked like a team totally overwhelmed by circumstances while Cliff Lee looked like Orel Hershiser in 1988. CC Sabathia was good, allowing only two runs, both solo shots to Chase Utley, but Lee was much better. He dominated the Yankees, going the distance and he probably would...

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, [...]

Reporting to you from Austin, Texas, the Yankees have made two roster switches (see headline). Eric Hinske and Brian Bruney will replace Freddy Guzman and Francisco Cervelli on the roster. I’m assuming the reasons behind the changes are that Hinske’s pop is more valuable than Guzman’s speed, and an extra reliever just to be cautious. I agree with both moves. However, don’t expect...

So here's the second, and final part of this series. The Bullpens- This has been really the only dissapointment so far for the Yankees. What was supposed to be a huge strength has turned out to not really be all that great after all. Phil Hughes has not been nearly as good as he was in the regular season in the eight inning. Joba Chamberlain has also failed to become the shutdown reliever that people...

Earlier today the Yankees announced that they would be adding Brian Bruney to the WS roster and dropping third catcher Francisco Cervelli. I like having that extra arm in the pen. Hopefully Bruney can pick up where he left off towards the end of the regular season.

The Yankees have altered their roster just a touch from what they had in the ALCS, dropping Freddy Guzman and Francisco Cervelli in favor of Brian Bruney and Eric Hinske. With the subtraction of Cervelli one might wonder if Joe Girardi will sti...
