10th Inning Journal
Joba's Role for 2009 is Murky Joba Chamberlain was activated last night from the disabled list after missing approximately a month. The Yanks plan to use him out of the bullpen for the rest of the year because his arm is no longer "stretched out" enough for him to start. READ MORE >>
Cashman Faces Critical Off Season The Math gets worse everyday for the Yanks. As the team's offensive drought continues through August, they are falling further behind in the wild card race. With only 32 games remaining, all but the most optimistic of Yankee fans realize that the 2008 season is over. READ MORE >>
Melky's Demotion a Long Time Coming After a horrendous 3-7 road trip that saw the Yankees fall 9 ½ games behind the division leading Rays and 6 ½ behind the Wild Card leading Red Sox, GM Brian Cashman decided to remove one of the team's black holes from the lineup. READ MORE >>
Yanks, Hank, Seemingly Throw in Towel on '08 Season It's difficult to say what's more annoying these days, watching the punchless and listless Yanks yawn themselves through another loss, or watching that assine "Jeter has an edge" commercial which seemingly runs hundreds of times a night. READ MORE >>
Joba Injury Just the Latest Bad Break for Yanks I've been searching Nostradamus quatrains the last few days to see if the ancient seer foretold of Joba Chamberlain's shoulder injury…but so far I've come up empty. I'm taking this as a good sign, since I'm sure he would have warned of this apoplectic event if it were career-threatening. READ MORE >>
Cashman, Once Again, A Trade Deadline Hero A few weeks ago, I wrote an article criticizing Brian Cashman. Chalk it up to temporary delirium brought on by a virulent form of Lyme disease. I know better. Once again, the Yankee GM has set the standard for doing an incredible job at the trade deadline. READ MORE>>
A Fine Friday at the Fens One game sure doesn't make a season, but if the Yanks could bottle up Friday night's game against Boston and replay it over and over again - they'd sure sign up for it. READ MORE >>
Interview with Draft Guru Lane Meyer on the 2008 Major League Draft Lane Meyer's Yankee Draft Blog on the influential Yankee fan website, NoMaas.org, has quickly become the place to go for anyone looking for information about the recent Major League Draft. Meyer has the latest interviews with the draftees, scouting reports and information on signings. It's the best blog of its kind on the web, so I asked Lane to take a few minutes to share his thoughts with me. READ MORE >>
How Bobby Murcer Saved Me from the Wrath of an Angry Nun For any 8-year-old kid at Saint Pius X Catholic Grammar School, Sister Helena’s name was synonymous with fear and intimidation. See was the Bobby Knight, or perhaps even the Adolph Rupp, of nuns at the school my parents sent me to. READ MORE>>
Mid-Season Report Cards: Yankee Pitchers It's Mid-term report card time for the Yankee pitchers. The biggest surprise on the positive side is Mike Mussina's resurgence. On the negative side, of course, Kennedy and Hughes have pitched like Thelma and Louise. Joba's transition to a starter is going splendidly, as planned, and Jose Veras is showing signs that he can be a reliable bullpen arm. Also, I think this guy Rivera might work out. READ MORE >>
Mid-Season Report Cards: Yankee Position Players Through 76 games, the Yanks' record sits at 41-35. The team is 5 games shy of the season's mid-point, so mid-term grades are in order this week. Despite another slow start (What else is new?), it appears that the Yanks have what it takes to earn another wild card birth. Without further ado, here's how the position players faired in the first half. (Later in the week, we'll take a look at the pitchers.) READ MORE >>
Have the Yanks Found a Recipe for Winning? Blown leads, bad pitching, and sudden timely hits that follow inning upon inning of wasted opportunity, then a march toward victory… That's been the formula lately for Yankee wins. READ MORE >>
