| We Will Miss You, Bobby... |
| 2008-07-12 18:15:00 |
Bryan Hoch/MLB.Com:Bobby Murcer, a personable, popular five-time All-Star who went on to a successful broadcasting career with the New York Yankees, died Saturday after a battle with brain cancer. He was 62. After experiencing a general lack of energy, Murcer was diagnosed with a tumor on Christmas Eve 2006, undergoing surgery at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Pathology reports later revealed the tumor to be malignant. Yankees chairman George M. Steinbrenner issued the following statement upon learning of Murcer's death: "Bobby Murcer was a born Yankee, a great guy, very well-liked and a true friend of mine. I extend my deepest sympathies to his wife Kay, their children and grandchildren. I will really miss the guy." After being diagnosed, Murcer commente...

| Hal Offers Some Insight On The Yanks Daily Operations |
| 2008-07-03 11:40:00 |
Excerpts Of Barry M. Bloom's Interview With Hal Steinbrenner on MLB.Com:• The Stadium Will Still Be Affordable:To waylay any misconception, Steinbrenner said that going to the new ballpark will be affordable for the typical fan. He expects approximately 35 percent of the 53,000 seats to be priced at $25 or less, 50 percent at $45 or less and 80 percent at $100 or less. "I see in the papers all the time about the 180 Legends Seats that are so expensive," he said. "But they don't talk about the fact that half of the seats in the stadium are $45 or less; that the entire top level is $20-$25 seats, and the bleacher seats are $12. We wanted to make sure that the average family can afford to go there and that's the way it's going to be.• Cashman's Contract Will Not Be Renewed Until At Least...

| Roger Clemen's Problems Could Follow Pettitte From Texas To NY |
| 2008-07-03 11:26:00 |
Micheal O'Keeffe and Teri Thompson via New York Daily News:In a motion to dismiss filed in Houston federal court late Wednesday night, Brian McNamee's defamation attorney Richard Emery asked U.S. District Judge Keith P. Ellison to schedule a hearing if it's necessary to determine if the statute of limitations expired on Roger Clemens' claim that McNamee defamed him when he told Andy Pettitte that Clemens had used performance-enhancing drugs. "If the existing evidence doesn't convince the judge, if there is any doubt in the judge's mind, he should hold a hearing or set discovery," Emery told the Daily News on Wednesday night, "and that will disrupt Pettitte's season." The motion also asked for a transfer of the case from Texas to the Southern District of N...

"This is unequivocally 100 percent not true."Kravitz said references to him as an adulterer were "extremely hurtful," adding that Cynthia came to stay at his home "to escape from everything happening in New York City."Cynthia brought along her daughter's godfather and his family for moral support as her 5-year marriage to Alex Rodriguez crumbled.The Daily News reported today that Cynthia dumped the future Hall of ...

This From River Ave Blues:Through five innings, Wang was rolling. He had allowed no runs on six hits andthree strike outs. He hadn’t issued a base on balls and thrown 51 of 71pitchesfor strikes. In the top of the sixth, he had to run the bases, andwhileattempting to score with two outs — a dicey move with the Yanks’moving up 4-0on the play — he pulled up lame and had to be helped off thefield. The Yankeeshave yet to announce the injury and are saying it’s aright foot problem.The Yanks could go on to win this game 30-0, and itwouldn’t matterbecause losing Chien-Ming Wang would be a huge blow to thisteam. He’s beennearly untouchable over his last two outings and seemed tobe reestablishinghimself as the Yankee ace after a tough month of May. This From Peter Abraham:Wang just go...

| MLB Wants Instant Replay--This Season... |
| 2008-06-13 16:56:00 |
Jayson Stark/ESPN.ComMajor League Baseball is attempting to institute instant replay on home-run calls before the end of this season, according to two sources familiar with those discussions. However, in order to accomplish that, MLB still needs to settle on a replay system that would satisfy everyone involved, from the umpires to commissioner Bud Selig.USA Today reported Friday on its Web site that MLB had approached the World Umpires Association about implementing replay on Aug. 1. However, it appears that's merely a tentative target date. While it's possible a system could be in place that soon, some baseball officials merely want to get some form of replay system up and running before this year's postseason.As recently as a few weeks ago, baseball officials were still talking about exp...

| Giambi Gives Yankees Best Win Of The Season |
| 2008-06-05 16:27:00 |
Well. Maybe I was really wrong about Jason Giambi. He just smashed a no doubter into the upper deck to give the Yankees a fantastic walk off win 9-8. The Yanks clawed back from a five run deficit to pull off the win so that is always encouraging.Jorge did not reinjure his shoulder (at least I don't think) so that is huge as well. Farnsworth was Farnsworth and gave up a run, but a huge credit to Jose Veras for working his way out of a tough jam in the 8th.

Then to have this happen I’m sure is extremely frustrating.

| At Least One Dead In 2nd Crane Collapse In 2.5 Months |
| 2008-05-30 09:02:00 |
David Schoetz and Richard Esposito:A construction crane toppled onto a New York City street this morning, killing at least two people after ripping open the side of a 23-story apartment building.At least 100 firefighters and rescue personnel were sifting through the debris for possible victims. At least one person was seen being carried from the site alive. "It was like a big crash coming down. A big noise. A lot of debris crashing hitting, coming down," construction worker Vincent Rosado told WABC-TV in New York. The crane collapsed around 8 a.m. at East 91st Street and First Avenue, crashing more than a dozen stories to the ground, swiping a high-rise apartment and leaving a twisted pile of crane and apartment wreckage.

| Joba The Ace |

I don't know if I am the first to use this term, but I am going to patent it now...Joba The Ace.Perfect.Mark Feinsand/New York Daily News:Starting next week, there might be some new Joba Rules. After Andy Pettitte eased his way through the sixth and recorded the first two outs in the seventh, Joe Girardi made what is most likely his last bullpen call ever to the electric Joba Chamberlain.Chamberlain entered the game and gave up a two-out single to Mora and then walked Markakis, throwing six of his first eight pitches for balls. Joba battled back to strike out Millar to end the inning, throwing 13 pitches to record one out.Chamberlain then came back for the eighth, the inning in which he has made his reputation since entering the league last August. Other than mixing in a couple of curveba...

| Maybe I Was Wrong About The Big G |
| 2008-05-28 23:02:00 |
Bryan Hoch/MLB.Com:Jason Giambi homered for the second consecutive game, helping the Yankees' night proceed exactly as planned with a crisp 4-2 victory over the Orioles. For the second consecutive night, Giambi pounded a ball over the right-field wall and onto Eutaw St., slugging a fourth-inning home run off of Orioles starter Jeremy Guthrie -- the 42nd ball hit into that area of the ballpark. Giambi, who leads the Yankees with 11 home runs, also picked up an RBI in the second inning with a single, driving in Hideki Matsui.Well. I may have been wrong about Jason Giambi. But we will see. Hopefully he can bump the average up a bit while maintaining the power that he has shown. I am crossing my fingers that he can stay healthy and productive.

| It's All A-Rod's Fault...(The Winning Of Course...) |
| 2008-05-26 06:21:00 |
Is it a coincidence that the Yankees have scored 43 runs in the six games since A-Rod's return, after managing only 12 in the seven games previous? Joe Girardi doesn't think so. "It changes our lineup drastically, it puts people back to where they were hitting most of the time," said Girardi. Abreu, moved into the three-hole, down from the clean-up spot he occupied in Rodriguez's absence. He is 9-for-his-last 21.Robinson Cano continued his resurgence again Sunday with a 10-for-19 streak, including game winning and game-tying RBIs in the last four games.Even Jason Giambi is getting in on the action and now has eight hits in his last 21 at-bats against lefties.It hurts me to think about where this team would be without Alex Rodriguez.People can criticize Hank Steinbrenner all they want, but he is the one that is responsible for putting the best player in Major League Baseball back in Pinstripes.For that, he is my hero.

| 2008-05-26 06:05:00 |
Kit Stier/MLB.Com:Darrell Rasner's approach to pitching in Baltimore on Monday afternoon isn't apt to be any different than the game plan he had on Wednesday, when he dazzled the Orioles for seven innings at Yankee Stadium.Rasner, in fact, hasn't changed much of anything this season. He was 4-0 in five starts at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and he has won all three of his starts since joining the Yankees on May 4. "You really have to stick with what got you here," Rasner said on Sunday before the Yankees departed for Baltimore with a five-game winning streak. "When you start changing is when you fall into a trap. You really just need to stick with what got you here and stay confident with your approach."The right-hander from Carson City, Nev., looks unflappable when he's on the mound, a...

| The Emergence (And Importance) Of Edwar Ramirez |
| 2008-05-26 05:32:00 |
Kristie Ackert/NY Daily News:In his first stint in the majors, Edwar Ramirez simply lost his confidence.The wispy righthander suffered a mound meltdown last July 20 against Tampa Bay - issuing four walks and a three-run homer without recording an out - after going 13 days without pitching, and wept in the clubhouse after he was told he was going back to the minors. He returned later in the season, but never found a niche in the bullpen and was left off the Yankees' playoff roster.Now, the 27-year-old changeup specialist has found a regular spot in the Yankee bullpen. He is a steady hand who could be considered for the open eighth-inning setup role, now that Joba Chamberlain is leaving that behind to become a starter. Ramirez earned the win Sunday, taking over for Chien-Ming Wang with the Y...

| If All Goes Well, Jorge Should Be Back By June 3rd |

Kit Stier/MLB.com:Jorge Posada is hoping his days of being stir-crazy are nearing an end.The plan is for Posada to play in games on Monday and Wednesday, during which he'll be instructed not to throw. Extended spring games can be controlled, so he won't have to make throws in his first two contests. Then on Friday, it is hoped that he'll play in a game where the red light won't be on opposing runners. "I think I'm going to play Friday and Monday again, so I can throw then," Posada said. "I'm looking forward to it. I feel good. I'm throwing good." As with any injury, of course, nothing is set in stone. It'll be a day-by-day process with the veteran, who made 90 throws and stretched out from 120 feet on Sunday."When I'm doing the drills, I don't feel any discomfort or anything wrong," Posada...

| May 25th, 1935 -- #714 |
| 2008-05-25 17:11:00 |
On May 25 1935, at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, Babe Ruth went 4-for-4, drove in 6 runs and hit 3 home runs in an 11-7 loss to the Pirates. These were the last three home runs of his career.Legend has it that the first homerun he hit that day landed just over the left field fence in the lower bleachers. His second homerun landed in the upper level bleachers. His third and last ever home run cleared the roof at the old Forbes Field—he became the first player ever to accomplish that feat.

Associated Press:Jose Molina hit a two-out RBI double to cap a four-run eighth inning, and the New York Yankees came back to beat the slumping Seattle Mariners 6-5 on Sunday for their season-best fifth straight victory.The Yankees won consecutive series for the first time this season, while the Mariners have lost a season-worst six games in a row. Seattle owns the worst record in the AL at 18-33.New York (25-25) was down 5-2 coming into the eighth and had been 0-23 when trailing after seven innings. Derek Jeter led off with a walk against reliever Sean Green before Arthur Rhodes came in for the lefty-on-lefty matchup against Bobby Abreu, who doubled to drive in Jeter.In came closer J.J.

Janie McCauley/AP Sports:David Ortiz is used to the New York Yankees not wanting him around. As part of All-Star game festivities this summer at Yankee Stadium, the Boston Red Sox slugger is slated to take part in a “Call Your Shot” promotion in which a fan gets to pick where they want Big Papi to clear the fence. That is, unless the Yankees talk Major League Baseball out of letting him do it on the day of the Home Run Derby. “I don’t know about the Yankees. I don’t really care,” Ortiz said Friday before Boston opened a weekend series against the Oakland Athletics. “It’s good (the promotion). That’s why I’m doing it. … I don’t know if it will happen.” The event is sponsored by MLB along with State Farm, which finances the Home Run Derby. The Yankees were discussin...

Besides a good burp, they also need to grow up.As if sitting in last place in the AL East were not bad enough, the Bronx Bombers discovered on Thursday that after years of planning for this summer’s All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium, they were the last to discover that a new “Call Your Shot” insurance-company promotion would feature the Red Sux David Ortiz mimicking Babe Ruth’s famous called-shot home run from the 1932 World Series.

| Run DMC Responsible For Yanks Four Game Win Streak?!? |
| 2008-05-24 23:45:00 |
Anthony McCarron/New York Daily News:After the game, Run DMC boomed from a clubhouse stereo as players dressed to leave. The rap duo's greatest hits have quickly become a tradition for the Yankees, who have listened to them after each of their last four games, Mussina said. "It's all we play," Mussina said.Girardi’s policy on tunes, by the way, is that he’s all for a little music, as long as no one is competing - in other words, if two stereos are trying to outdo each other from opposite sides of the room, the manager is unhappy. If it’s just one, you can groove to all the “You Be Illin’” that you want.

| Joba Throws 40 Pitches--No One Scores |
| 2008-05-24 15:27:00 |
Anthony Dicomo/MLB.com:This "Joba Plan" suddenly seems like an awfully smart idea. The whole point of Joba Chamberlain converting from a starter to a reliever in the Major Leagues was so that he could help the Yankees, instead of wasting away innings in the Minors. And on this day, he did just that. Chamberlain pitched two shutout innings in relief of a shaky Mike Mussina, Jason Giambi hit a three-run homer and the Yankees cruised to yet another victory on Saturday, a 12-6 decision over the Mariners. Chamberlain entered the game in the sixth inning with the Yankees clinging to a one-run lead, and he proceeded to retire the first three Mariners he faced in order. From there, he completed his prescribed workload in stride, pitching two shutout innings in all.In those two innings, Chamberlain threw 26 fastballs (15 strikes), 11 sliders (seven strikes) and three curveballs (no strikes).His 40 pitches his most in a big-league game.

| 2008-05-23 02:00:00 |
Mark Feinsand/New York Daily News:Whether the incident on Thursday night was actually responsible for the Yankees’ eventual 2-1 win or not, it was good to see Joe Girardi show some fire in that situation. Through the first seven weeks, Girardi had come out of the dugout a few times to protest a call, but he typically pleaded his case for a few seconds, heard the ump’s response and headed back to the dugout. I’m not suggesting that managers should always act like Billy Martin in these situations, but once in a while, it’s not a bad thing. Girardi slammed his hat down, kicked it, kicked some dirt and did his best Lou Piniella impression after he was ejected, making sure to get his money’s worth. “It was funny,” Derek Jeter said. “I enjoyed it. I was hoping he would kick it...

| Girardi/Cano Get Animated...Yanks Win |
| 2008-05-22 23:08:00 |
Anthony Dicomo/MLB.com:From the comforts of his manager's office, with its wide desk and leather couch, Joe Girardi sat on Thursday night and watched about five minutes of baseball. Perhaps still simmering a bit from his ejection only moments earlier, Girardi watched as Robinson Cano laced a walk-off single through the left side of the infield, and as Hideki Matsui motored around from second base to score the winning run. Then Girardi leapt out of his chair and hurled his pen across the room. "I'm not so sure I am decompressed yet," he said just after the game. That might take some time, considering the magnitude of his argument, and the depth of the slump that had been vexing his Yankees. But now with a well-pitched and downright emotional 2-1 win over the Orioles in tow, perhaps Girard...

Bryan Hoch/MLB.com:Considering his successes in each of his first two starts, Darrell Rasner had about hit the peak of what the Yankees expected of him. He had pitched two games, won both of them, and kept his team in contention when his fellow starters could not. "The only thing he can really do better is throw a shutout every time," manager Joe Girardi said before Wednesday's game. "And we know that's not going to happen." Perhaps not every time. But on this night he did -- and did with a flourish -- blanking the Orioles for seven innings and leading his Yankees to an 8-0 victory in the Bronx. "He's been great," Girardi said. "He's just been outstanding. He's really taken advantage of his situation." Rasner's given the Yankees a quiet lift for the better part of a month, pitching withou...

| It's Official--Chamberlain Will Join Starting Rotation |
| 2008-05-22 00:29:00 |
Frankly, I am surprised it took this long...Tyler Kepner/New York Times:The Yankees began Joba Chamberlain’s transition to the starting rotation on Wednesday, when he worked the final two innings — 35 pitches — of the Yankees’ 8-0 victory against the Orioles. There’s no announced date, but the plan is under way. Chamberlain will start this season, and he may not even need a minor-league stint to get ready. The Yankees, for now, plan to stretch out his arm in the majors. In doing so, the Yankees are rejecting the idea of keeping Chamberlain as a setup man and then making him Mariano Rivera’s successor as the closer in 2011, when Chamberlain will be 25. In explaining the move, General Manager Brian Cashman said Chamberlain had always projected better as a starter, a role where he...
