Mark Buehrle Wins Gold Glove

South Side Sox (Free subscription) | 11/10/2009

Mark Buehrle Wins Gold Glove But on Tuesday, Buehrle officially captured an award he had coveted since becoming a member of the South Siders' rotation in 2001. Buehrle took home an American League Rawlings Gold Glove, joining Jim Kaat as the only pitcher in team history to earn the honor recognizing exceptional defense. Buehrle's Gold Glove is the first won by a White Sox player since third baseman...

The Need for a Lackey

by Michael Appleton - AP "Yes, Lord?" View full size photo » The focus of last offseason, and of every offseason since Clemens and Pettitte bolted to Houston, has been pitching. It has always been pitching, it should always be pitching. So while all the Yankee talk I read and hear revolves around Damon v. Matsui, I'm not really worried about either. I'd make both of them an offer of...

The way those seasons ended were the equivalent of baseball hell. An error and bloop single in the ninth inning of game seven in 2001... and of course the (in)famous and unprecedented collapse in 2004. Because of those tragedies, the recently...

The Tough Luck Former Yankees

Sportsviews (Free subscription) | 11/06/2009

Let's take a quick look back at some of the players from 2001-2008 that never got to lift up a World Series trophy with the Yankees.Mike Mussina (2001-2008)The man is sandwiched between World Series victories. Is there anything worse? He's a borderline Hall of Famer (I don't think he gets in) and he left after his first and only 20 win season. His departure, in part, led the Yankees to bring in CC...

~The main cogs in the game 6 wheel were very fitting. Andy Pettitte picking up the victory. Mariano closing the door. Jeter going 3-5. Matsui picking up his first World Series ring and doing it in style. Oh and Pedro lost. ~Mr. Pettitte tied a record that Derek Lowe also shares and probably somebody else too. He was the winning pitcher in each of the series clinchers. ~Everyone making a big deal about...

Burnett dominates as Yanks even Series

River Ave. Blues (Free subscription) | 10/30/2009

Welcome to the World Series, Good A.J. Heading into Thursday’s Game 2, we didn’t quite know what game to expect. The Yanks had A.J. Burnett, the definition of baseball inconsistency on the mound, and the Phillies were countering with Pedro Martinez, a relic of another age who has reinvented himself Mike Mussina-style into a off-speed [...] Post from: River Ave. Blues A New York Yankees...

Yanks, ex-Yanks weigh in on little league

lenNY's Yankees - A Yankees Blog (Free subscription) | 10/27/2009

Above is a video of Doc Gooden, David Cone, Nick Swisher, A.J. Burnett, Ron Guidry, Goose Gossage, Johnny Damon and Mike Mussina talking about their little league experiences and a little advice for kids as well. I remember I was awful back in little league. I struck out eight times in just one day! I guess that’s why I ended up a pitcher in Legion. Thanks for finding this, Sena.

New York Yankees: 1, Matt Taibbi: 0

The Business Insider (Free subscription) | 10/26/2009

Last night, the Yankess closed out the Angels, advancing to the World Series and, we imagine, making journalist Matt Taibbi that much unhappier about publishing this prediction for the 2009 season back in April: [A]t the first sign of ... trouble — the first six-game losing streak in May, the first whispers of a Joe Girardi firing in June — [the high-priced Yankee free agents] will all...

Wait, so how exactly is this anything like 2004?

Yeah, I'm just not seeing it... View full size photo uploaded October 23, 2009 The 2009 ALCS and 2004 ALCS are practically mirror images of each other. Indistinguishable. Talk about carbon copies! I haven't seen this level of uncanny similarity since watching Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes in White Men Can't Jump. Yeah, that's about how alike these two series are. If I have to read one more thinly...

Wallace Matthews You Are On Notice for Charges of Lunacy

SimonOnSports (Free subscription) | 10/23/2009

Time to bust out the FJM format again, this time on a Newsday columnist that I think is just trying to write something preposterous . Thursday, the Yankees were one victory away away from a triumphant return to the World Series. Friday, they are two losses removed from the worst postseason collapse in their history. Yes, this would be worse than coughing up a 3-0 lead to the Red Sox in 2004. Well now...

Since the Yankees and Angels clinched and confirmed their date in the 2009 ALCS all I’ve heard about what a great team the Angels are. People are entitled to their opinions so I can’t bash anyone for that, but it did get me thinking about the Yankee teams that previously faced the Angels. In 2002 and 2005 the Yankees faced the Angels in the ALDS and both times were unfortunately bounced...
