After I finished my work in the office, I hopped on a New York City subway train and headed N orth towards the Bronx.

I was on my way to my first ever New York Yankees game.

The Yankees will probably not take a different approach to Game Two of their World Series rematch with the Phillies tonight.

Phillies starter Jamie Moyer has been up and down this season including a complete game, but has since returned to his inconsistent form.

The Yankees' AJ Burnett was stellar against the Phillies in the postseason, and it will be interesting to see how amazing he may look if the Phillies bats don't show up—much like they have done all season. 

The Yankees made the right move by not moving against their longtime foe, Roy Halladay. The former Blue Jays ace and now Phillies pitcher was dealing, but at the wrong spots.

The Yankees took the bad pitches and were able to get ahead in the count and ahead in the game. 

The Yankees chose to wait for their perfect pitch, and it paid off. There were three home runs off the bats of Curtis Granderson, Nick Swisher, and Mark Teixeira.

Are you hurting in the run category? Here are some reasonably available players that could help you out.

Here’s a look at the unheralded players who played well yesterday.

In honor of the year Robinson Cano is having (.368 Batting Average, 13 Home Runs, 47 RBI), it got me thinking that if Cano keeps this pace up, where will it rank amongst the greatest Yankee seasons of all-time?

We still got a long ways to go, and there's still a lot of baseball to be played, so I will re-address that question towards the end of the season.

Let’s continue to look at our early 2011 rankings by turning our attention to second base.  It’s certainly not a deep position after the first seven names or so, but there certainly are some interesting names on the list:

Andrew Brackman and Dellin Betances stand at 6-foot-10 and 6-foot-8 respectively, and it is their size and their high ceilings that have earned them the nickname the “Twin Towers.”

No other sport comes close to baseball's enthusiasm for and appreciation of individual accomplishments.

The first somewhat significant trade of the 2010 season took place yesterday between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Oakland A’s.

I say somewhat because no major names were involved, but I think it was a trade that could help both teams.

Yesterday, the Diamondbacks traded OF/1B Conor Jackson to the A’s for minor league RHP Sam Demel. Here is what both teams got.
