I realize CC Sabathia has another turn in the rotation before the ALDS starts (which makes sense–you want to keep him sharp, afterall) but now that he’s pitched his final game in September, it’s a good time to take a look at his season as a whole.
If you go by ERA, CC had two clunker [...]
And a special non-Yankees related throw in that is completely amazing.
Update by request:
NoMaas advocates Matt Cain for Cano. This makes sense on a lot of levels and if possible, I would get behind it. Cain is 23, and yes to me those four years to make a difference when you are comparing it to a proposed Peavy trade. While I normally believe that you shouldn’t trade a [...]
The Yankees have won six games in a row, four of them have been pretty crushing victories. Here’s a quick overview for the forgetful:
July 18th vs Oakland – 7-1
July 19th vs Oakland – 4-3
July 20th vs Oakland – 2-1
July 21st vs Minnesota – 12-4
July 22nd vs Minnesota – 8-2
July 23rd vs Minnesota – 5-1
Today’s game [...]
The second Andy day of 2008 went pretty well, he threw 2 2/3 innings, gave up 3 hits (1 homerun), 2ER and had 2Ks. He hit some guy, but I bet the batter had it coming.
Per Pete Abe, here’s what he had to say about today:
Andy Pettitte was thrilled with his performance. “From the first [...]
2k Sports (via IGN) has reported what their unlockable teams for Major League Baseball 2k8 are. Most of them are rookie teams, and some have a few strange things (like Derek Jeter, 1996 AL Rookie of the Year being on the 1997 rookie team) but the most bizarre by far is the “Living Legends” team.
While [...]
It seems that in Yankee land you are damned if you do, and damned if you don’t in regards to spending money. If you spend too much people cry that you spend too much and if you are concerned about your payroll hitting $300million you are a terrible person who doesn’t want to spend!
The backpage [...]
Pettitte’s agent, Randy Hendricks, told the Associated Press that Pettitte began informing some of his teammates of his decision Sunday, at which time Hendricks notified general manager Brian Cashman.
Jorge Posada said last week that he had been speaking with Pettitte on a weekly basis, but the catcher felt that Pettitte was more likely to retire [...]
So the Alex Rodriguez sweepstakes wound up not being so exciting, and the Miguel Cabrera sweepstakes do not involve the Yankees and I don’t care about them. This leaves the very exciting Johan Santana sweepstakes for me to care deeply about.
The latest reports are that the Yankees have offered up Phil Hughes and Melky Cabrera [...]
This is shaping up to be a very frustrating offseason. I am terrified that the Yankees are going to make an idiotic move because the front office seems absolutely obsessed with “replacing” ARod at third base through a trade. Nevermind that is a ridiculous idea, and there is nobody available that is an upgrade to [...]
