Joe Girardi

The New York Yankees were destroyed in Fenway Park Tuesday night, losing to Boston 7-0.

This is the sixth straight loss the Yankees have suffered at the hands of their archnemesis, the Boston Red Sox.

It has become apparent that Joe Girardi thinks the New York Yankees cap with the interlocking N/Y is actually Merlin's magician's cap.

Girardi is convinced that he is a conjurer, a Merlin capable of experiments that will lead to magical results.

He simply cannot avoid the temptation to experiment like a wizard or a mad scientist

The New York Yankees once again put on a late-inning show on Sunday afternoon.

Down 3-1 in the bottom of the eighth inning, the Yanks batted around and scored three runs against the Tampa Bay Rays, going on to beat them by a score of 4-3.

Melky Cabrera once again proved his worth as a situational hitter on Thursday afternoon.

Knotted at six in the bottom of the eighth against the Texas Rangers, Cabrera crushed a two-run homer over the left field wall to propel the Yankees past the Rangers and give them an 8-6 win.  

I got home from work yesterday and thought I had a migraine headache.

I turned on YES to see what Mike Francesca was up to, and I knew that the headache was only about to begin.

Francesca was literally laughing at the Yankees starting lineup.

He was laughing! Gardner, Pena, Cabrera, and Cash! "Are you kidding me?" Francesca asked.

I thought there had to be some mistake.

The Yankees were coming into the game after an off day.

Jorge Posada is one of the most underrated Yankees ever. He has been a staple behind the plate for the Yankees since entering the league in 1995. Even at the ripe old age of 37, Jorge is still remains as a force offensively but has declined a bit defensively. Along with his age comes his injuries which prove to be very costly to the team.

Wednesday night Michael Kay on YES Network said New York Yankee Manager, Joe Girardi never knew what he was going to get out of his bullpen.

That night, the Yankees had tied the score in the eighth inning on a bases clearing three run double by Mark Teixeira. Mariano Rivera had been brought in to stop the Tampa Bay Rays in the ninth and did his job.

The New York Yankees have struggled to a .500 record after three weeks of the young baseball season.

It seems as though matters are worse than their record would indicate.

In three of the games, the Yankees have truly been embarrassed.

In Tampa, the Yankees were beaten 15-5 by the Rays.

At home against Cleveland, starter Chien Ming-Wang was abused for the three straight start and the Indians clobbered New York 22-4.

When is Joe going to learn how to manage the bullpen? I'm starting to think Don Mattingly should absolutely be the Yankee manager at this point. Too bad he's with Torre in L.A. now.

Looking at the first two games of the Red Sox series (especially the first one), I can't help but wonder what's going on here. In the 11th inning after getting Ortiz out why is Marte still in the game? Let's be honest; he is typically a specialist (even though I hate that kind of management) and is not fit to pitch two innings.

I was exhausted as I looked out the window on the train ride home. As a die-hard baseball fan, I had just been through an absolute whirlwind. The day of my baseball-loving life.

Wednesday, April 22, 2009 was a very special day for me. I was privileged enough to make my first trip with my friends and family to the new Yankee Stadium.

The New York Yankees beat the Oakland Athletics 9-7 in 14 innings because of a walk off home run by Melky Cabrera. CC Sabathia started and did not pitch well. He gave up seven runs on six hits in 6.2 innings of work for the no decision.
