The Mets-Yanks series starts TODAY, munecas mias , and a sweep against the cross town rivals would be fantastic not just for their sub-.500 record but for their seemingly faltering confidence. Can they hack it against the Mets' strong pitching? At...

As a thank you to all of you faithful YC readers (or those of you that accidentally stumbled upon this here bloggity, I love you too), I have some groovy prizes to bestow upon you! Upper Deck has released an awesome set of cards in honor of the last...

The season is a quarter over already, munecas , and the Yanks are still under .500. Unlike last year, though, no one seems to be panicking. Why is that? Do people have more faith in Girardino than they did in Torre? Are they just more patient?...

The Yanks have been having serious issues scoring runs and winning games lately, no question about it. They've lost 5 of their last 8 games, and after their win tonight they are still a game under .500. With A-Rod and Posada out of the lineup - and...

I have been resisting writing anything about the Jobamania Fist-gate lately on principle, because I simply find the whole "debacle" ridiculous and essentially a waste of our valuable ESPN-reading time (not to mention YC reading time). Unfortunately,...

Athletes seem to love little more than earning extra dough by endorsing various products. Playing ball is fun and all, but it takes just a couple hours to film a commercial or do a photo shoot holding a jar of peanut butter or jug of a lightning bolt...

In addition to my usual Yankees Chick posts, I have also begun writing regularly for AOL's FanHouse blog on all things AL East. I will post the beginnings of those articles here on YC, and then you'll have to click the link to jump on over to FH to...

Greetings and salutations, YC friends and foes! I hope everyone had a delightful weekend, whether you were enjoying a ball game, honoring your mother with a card you found in the 99cent section of Hallmark, or watching Lifetime movies for 48 straight...

Question: Who is 45 years old, fat, gout-stricken, owns a hunting lodge with Kirk Gibson, and adores a good martini and wants to pitch for the Yankees? Answer: None other than our old and dearly beloved friend David "Drunky McDrunkerson Perfect Game"...

Kei Igawa is making his 2008 debut tonight, and I'm not as nervous about it as I thought I might be. He's been doing well enough down in AAA, and the Tigers aren't exactly hitting like gangbusters right now; the Yanks, on the other hand, ARE starting...

Do you miss A-Rod? I do. So do the Yanks. Good news for all involved, though - his rehabbing is going smoothly and he is on track to come back in about a week. Yesterday things didn't sound quite as certain, as Girardi insisted that they wouldn't be...

Our dear Matsui is very adept at flying under the radar, leaving his cronies like A-Rod and Jeter to deal with the spotlight. As a result, sometimes Matso's accomplishments get overshadowed by his flashier teammates, which is unfortunate given his...

We've got an excellent game to look forward to tonight, my lovelies. With the on-fire Lee and Wang taking the mound for their respective teams, this game could very likely be boiled down to a good old-fashioned pitching duel. Here's the lines on the...

Ian Kennedy had to suck up his pride when the Yankees decided a trip back to AAA for some extra seasoning was in order, but rather than dwell on his early season failures and subsequent demotion he is taking the opportunity to show the Yanks a thing...
