You knew going into the night that emotions would be running high on River Ave. and 161st St. in the Bronx when the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays collided. No, it had nothing to do with a race for the top of the AL East or between two clubs in the thick of […]

On Star Wars night in The Bronx, The Evil Empire played host to the inbound Cleveland Indians who were greeted rather unceremoniously despite touting a lofty record and standing in the AL Central. The Yankees bopped them around seemingly from start to finish and never once relinquished the lead in the ballgame. The scoring started on […]

With the trade deadline approaching the New York Yankees began a weekend series with AL East rival Tampa Bay in St. Petersburg.

Yankees 3, Giants 2 The New York Yankees saw their win streak snap on Thursday before welcoming the San Francisco Giants to town on Friday.

To do so, they turned to 25-year old hurler Chad Green who, before this game, had only amassed […]

The New York Yankees reached the .500 mark Friday night after their 5-3 victory over the visiting Minnesota Twins, so the objective on Saturday afternoon was simple: Push themselves into the above .500 threshold. The much-maligned Michael Pineda took the mound for the Yankees on a beautiful Saturday in The Bronx and wound up delivering a […]

Fresh off a sweep of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, the New York Yankees welcomed Miguel Cabrera, Ian Kinsler and the Detroit Tigers to the Bronx Friday night. The Yankees handed the ball off to the recently revitalized CC Sabathia in hopes that he would continue his sharpness on the mound and keep the […]
