Far be it from me to rain on Brian Cashman's well-deserved parade, but the Blahg is just too negative a place to let things slide. So it must be pointed out that, really, none of the Yanks developed by Cashman over the past decade had much to do with the Yanks' victories in the postseason. Robinson Cano and Phil Hughes were a big part of the team's regular season success, but they were not productive...

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...

Phil Rogers of the Chicago Tribune has written a pair of new articles. One focuses on the New York Yankees, while the other explores news from around the majors. Here are some of his points: Pitching depth is the Yankees' main priority this offseason. Having Chien-Ming Wang, Joba Chamberlain, and Phil Hughes all healthy and effective would be ideal, but Rogers doesn't think GM Brian Cashman will be...

From Tim Kurkjian : 1. How will the world champion Yankees rework their roster? They have three primary free agents, left fielder Johnny Damon, designated hitter Hideki Matsui and starting pitcher Andy Pettitte. Last winter, the Yankees didn't even make an offer to Bobby Abreu or Jason Giambi, allowing each to leave via free agency even though each had recorded pretty good numbers in 2008. Look for...

View full size photo » The 2009 baseball season has just ended, and in a way, you could say that tonight, the 2010 season begins. While we are not going to see the most-hyped prospect, Stephen Strasburg -- he was scratched due to a strained neck muscle -- or Cubs prospect Josh Vitters, also scratched with a minor injury, there will be plenty of players in tonight's game who you'll see in the...

Every member of the New York Yankees organization received a “Key to the City” today. As each player’s name was called out, Mayor Michael Bloomberg handed each person a key. The running joke these days is..what does this key actually do for you? Phil Hughes says: “Does this actually unlock anything?” This is a picture of [...]

@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,...

The once quiet World Series sluggers Alex Rodriguez and Nick Swisher broke out of their slumps in a big way to surge the Yankees past the Phillies 8-5 in Game 3. Quick ‘Cap: Jayson Werth’s first of two homers sparked a two-run rally in the second inning, but the Yankees retaliated in innings 4-8. Alex Rodriguez’s two-run shot brought the Yanks within one, and then Andy Pettitte’s...

Last night's win was a great game, of course, providing some pretty compelling World Series drama. I wrote a few thoughts for The Faster Times on the game. Here are some other ones: * For some reason, seeing Andy Pettitte at bat cracks me up. But I was cheering - not laughing - when he got the game-tying hit against Cole Hamels. I also loved seeing Derek Jeter nearly pass him when they both scored...

If Phil Hughes pitches in another game this World Series that the score is within 10 runs, Joe Girardi should be fired. I’m sorry, but after giving up a long home run last night to Carlos Ruiz, Hughes has lost his right to pitch again this year. Enough is enough. Damaso Marte and Joba Chamberlain were impressive last night, while Phil Coke and David Robertson remained inactive. To me, Coke and...

I don’t think his body will be crumbling anytime soon. It’s the World Series, people. Mariano Rivera has always pitched more than just the ninth inning in World Series play, and no matter what people say, has shown no signs of wear and tear. Via Anthony Mccarron : …he is convinced he can go two innings at a time for the remainder of the series, if it's necessary. "Definitely,"...

Yankees reliever Phil Hughes said he should not have yelled at the plate umpire when he was leaving the field after his Game 1 appearance.

Inconsequential, yes, but this is an excellent explanation of why I'm using "Fire Girardi!" as a response to any question I don't know the answer to: Why are you filling the airwaves with demands that Johnny Damon be benched? Why are you booing a young stud like Phil Hughes off the mound? Why oh why are you leaving in the seventh inning of a 2-0 game when you know full well the Yankees led...

From Sam Borden (LoHud): As I said on Twitter, Phil Hughes ducked the media after walking two to lead off the eighth. Dave Eiland said Hughes tried to be “too perfect,” but expressed confidence the team will continue to utilize him in the same role. “Sure, why not,” Eiland said. “He’s had a heckuva lot more [...]

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...
