In a piece at River Ave. Blues yesterday, Mike Axisa wrote at length about the Yankees DH situation. There's a faction of the fan base that would like to see the team promote from within, and make Cuban defector Juan Miranda the regular DH next season, while giving frequent half-days off to the old-ish lineup by allowing them to DH on occasion. Without thinking about it too much, I agreed with this...

The Yanks have several prospects playing in the AFL, so let's check them out the guys I've got my eye on. Mixed results for IPK, who has allowed less a hit per inning and has walked only 5 in 25 innings of work against 23 Ks. But the AFL is a hitters' league, and when they've connected they've made it count- he's allowed 13 ER in 6 games. He's taking his lumps, but he needs to be challenged to develop...

Not much to say about this one. The only thing that caught Yankee fans interest in this game was that C.C. Sabathia was going for his 20th win. Besides that, this game had no meaning. Sabathia didn’t have his usual stuff today, and was blown out of the game early. His pitching line was L, 2.2IP [...] Added by: zellyanks91 Viewed: 0 time(s) Tags/Keywords: uncategorized sabathia juan miranda Added...

When is the YES Network going to stop naming the Player of the Game before the game is actually over? Especially given the fact that the Yankees now have 15 walkoff wins this season? Last night, Kansas City starter Anthony Lerew won the honors. But really, Kyle Farnsworth should have gotten the award. I missed most of the game due to real-life obligations, (and I'm bummed I missed that pregame ceremony)...
