Mood Music – Cosmic Slop by Funkadelic CC Sabathia .  8 innings of 1 hit ball .  He was excellent.  Curtis Granderson .  Two home runs (once off of a lefty).  He was also excellent.  The Corpulant Chap and the Journeyman would be all the Yankees would need to finish off the sweep on this [...]

Via Ken Rosenthal , Yankees director of amateur scouting Damon Oppenheimer is one of at least six candidates that the Diamondbacks plan to speak with about their vacant general manager position. Formal interview requests have not yet been made, however. Oppenheimer was mentioned as a candidate for the job as soon as ex-GM Josh Byrnes was fired, and he is [...]

The New York Yankees won over the Oakland Athletics by a score of 5-0 . C.C. Sabathia got the win. What more, I mean, what more is there to say about the best pitcher in the game. Do you know what they called this game after it was over? C.C. Domination because that’s what you did. You DOMINATED! Eight [...]

Much maligned for an admittedly sub-par 2010 season at the plate, Curtis Granderson is quietly putting together the makings of a comeback since the All-Star Break. Including his 2-for-3 afternoon so far today, in the 45 games since the ASB, Granderson has put together a .262/.331/.517 batting line with 10 HR and 21 RBI. He may not [...]

As Derek Jeter’s free agency draws closer, fans and analysts alike are having difficulty imagining what his next contract will look like. On one hand, you have an aging shortstop in the midst of one of the worst years of his career. On the other hand, you have the “face of the franchise”, an iconic New [...]

Read all about it.
My money is on Teixeira.

Update (2:17pm:) He left the game with stiffness in his left knee, according to the team. No word on the severity, but let’s all hope for the old day-to-day. 1:59 pm: Swisher left the game with what appeared to be a left knee injury, but the extent is unknown. That’s the knee he fouled the ball off in [...]

Dallas Braden gained some notoriety a few months ago by jawing at Alex Rodriguez after A-Rod ran across “Braden’s mound” on his way back to first base following a foul ball. It was an unwritten rule that many had never heard before, and was a popular topic of discussion for a few days back in May. [...]

Craig Calcaterra has the story.
Well, if this can happen, what’s next? This is sort of like Katie Morgan firing her vajayjay, ain’t it?

BREAKING _ Authorities today reported a long, gold and green, viscous slick of unknown ooze — believed to be the former team of Mark McGwire and Joe Rudi – roiling in the frothy waves over New York Harbor. The cleanup is expected to take four more weeks.

When the Yankees visited the Athletics earlier this season, Alex Rodriguez sparked a little mini-controversy when he casually jogged across the pitcher’s mound on his way back to first base following a foul ball. No one would have even noticed Alex’s mishap if not for A’s starter Dallas Braden, who opened his yap and told him to [...]

Sabathia
Gets number 19
Because he likes it
Say no to Springsteen
Let’s go Yankees.

Still summertime, still scorching in the Rotten Apple.
CC Sabathia v. Dallas Braden today as the Yanks look to sweep the A’s.

We’ll be rootin’.
Let’s Go Yan-Kees.

They were both promoted to Trenton double A. We know Pat from the interview and wish him the best. He’s so close to the big time now that we think he’ll be pitching for the Yankees next year. Congrats to both guys.

A matinee today. Too bad Alex Rodriguez isn’t available to face Dallas Braden .

Colin Cowherd voiced an opinion yesterday that The Captain could head to the Rays if the Yankees offered less money. Often, I find myself agreeing with Cowherd, especially when it comes to the finances of baseball, but I don’t see how he could be any more wrong on this point. Even though the Rays are a [...]

Simple. Light. Tasty. From Whats Gaby Cooking:

According to the Yankees, Nick Swisher left today’s game with stiffness in his left knee. It was an injury he originally suffered in Toronto and he’s day-to-day.

Derek Jeter seems to have developed a rather nasty habit this season; well, one that isn’t just his near 70% groundball rate. And, to be fair, it’s not exactly a habit. It’s just something we’ve never quite seen from Jeter: a massive platoon split. In Derek Jeter’s career, not including last night, he has a .398 wOBA [...]
