Before the gamer, the big news: Sir Sidney returns! Ken Rosenthal reports: The New York Yankees, adding a possible alternative for their starting rotation, have signed free-agent right-hander Sidney Ponson to a minor-league contract, according...

From top to bottom the Yankees are so much better than us at every position, except maybe Peavy and Adrian.  Why do we even bother flying all the way to New York? Headley playing third base today. Go Padres... sigh. Lineup San...

Hopefully the rains won't interrupt/cancel tonight's game. Looks like it should just be passing through as it did earlier. We want Joba on the hill tomorrow when we go. Darrell Rasner looks to bounce back from that horrible outing in Oakland and snap...

If this is when the Yankees are making their move to a solid record that can match their talent and payroll, you have to be pretty excited they waited only until leading up to the All-Star break and not after it. I'll reserve judgment until after the...

YANKEES 8 PADRES 0 Tuesday night at the Stadium, the Yankees won their 5th straight game, as they defeated the San Diego Padres, 8-0. Andy Pettitte pitched a gem, going 7 scoreless innings for the pinstripes, while Jason giambi belted 2...

San Diego Padres

This is the third of a three-part interview (Part 1 is here ; Part 2 is here ) with San Diego Padres CEO Sandy Alderson. Big thanks to Mr. Alderson for taking time out of his busy schedule to make himself available, and also to his assistant, Dayle...

There's nothing wrong with a quickie every now and then. We've been swamped and were never able to put up a recap of last night's game. Heck we're closer to tonight's game then last nights. So a quickie is in order. Andy Pettitte was oustanding...

Andy Pettitte stepped into the ace role nicely tonight, shutting out the Padres for seven innings. The Yankees lefty dominated the Padres hitters, walking one and striking out nine. The bullpen continues to pitch well without Joba, striking out...

The Yankees may have been dealt a serious blow when they lost Chien-Ming Wang to injury in their last game, but they hardly looked like a team coping with a crisis on Tuesday night. On the strength of Andy Pettitte's superb pitching and a pair of...

Solid victory tonight by the Yankees. They hit for power (three home runs) and pitched for power (14 strikeouts) en route to an 8-0 rout of the San Diego Padres. The Yankees have now won five games in a row and are a season-high five games over...

The Yankees opened a three game set with the Padres in San Diego on Tuesday night with an 8-0 victory. It was the fifth shutout for the Yankees staff this season and the second in as many games. Andy Pettitte threw 103 pitches over seven inning...

4 games into interleague play. 4 wins. I said before this 15 game stretch againzt the NL started that this was the time for the Yanks to make a move. They've got 15 games against teams with losing records. Winning the first 4 is a great way to start....

I'm going to clear my mind for 15 seconds and then just write what comes to me about the Padres. ... ...Is Edgar Gonzalez smiling when he's up to bat or is that his concentration face? Or is he smiling and then making the excuse that it's his...

The Yankees welcome the San Diego Padres into the 21st century that is known as the American League tonight.  One wonders if the Pads will ride into town in horse-drawn carriages. With the minor hiccup of losing their # 1 starter for pretty...

San Diego Padres (31-40) vs. New York Yankees (37-33) Starting tonight against the lowly Padres, the Yankees play 16 games against teams (Padres, Reds, Pirates, Mets and Rangers) who had less than .500 records going into last night's action. Tue,...

The Yankees beat the Padres last night 8-0 behind seven strong innings by Andy Pettitte and two scoreless innings by Jose Veras, Billy Traber, and Mariano Rivera.  On offense, the team was led by Jason Giambi, who hit two HRs.  Giambi is now...

Jason Giambi has now played 34 games since May 6th - hitting 12 homeruns and fashioning an OBA that’s bumping up against .500 in the process. That’s Bondsian, to say the least. I still fear that other shoe when it comes to Giambi doing...

I was under the impression that an important step in Joel Zumaya 's rehabilitation was being able to pitch in back-to-back games before returning to the majors.  After one inning of work last night with Triple-A Toledo, in which he struck out...
