John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman: Always Good for a Laugh

Posted by Brian Capozzi in NY Yankees on 08 18th, 2010 | 1 Comment
Thanks to one of my Twitter followers (@BurrowDweller73), I was able to listen to one of the funniest impersonations of John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman. While I wanted to keep this gem for myself, I figured that all Yankee fans would get a kick out of this. The “video”, which is actually a radio clip, was recorded in October 2007 while the Yankees were playing the Indians in the ALDS. The recording is 7+ minutes long, but well worth the time. The impersonations are perfect, right down to the accents and the Sterling-ism’s. If this does not make you laugh, then I have no...

Andy Pettitte scheduled to have MRI

Posted by Colin MacNeil in NY Yankees on 08 17th, 2010 | 1 Comment
According to Bryan Hoch, Pettitte is scheduled to have a MRI today. Pettitte threw approximately 40 pitches at Yankee Stadium before the Bombers’ game against the Tigers, and though he completed the session, Pettitte still has some hesitation to throw with full intensity. Here is what Andy Pettitte had to say about his bullpen session on Tuesday: “I’m feeling good. I’m feeling better,” Pettitte said. “But when I reach back 100 percent, like I’m trying to get a batter out in a game, the groin area grabs.” Every Bronx Bombers fan are holding...

Posted by Colin MacNeil in MLB, NY Yankees on 08 15th, 2010 | No Comments

Last night’s Barrage of HR’s, marked the 56th multihomer game of Rodriguez’s career, but just his fourth three-homer game, having last achieved that feat on April 26, 2005, against the Angels.

Posted by Colin MacNeil in MLB, NY Yankees on 08 14th, 2010 | No Comments

Posted by Colin MacNeil in MLB, NY Yankees on 08 11th, 2010 | No Comments

Pitching Matchups – Rangers vs Yankees

Posted by Colin MacNeil in MLB, NY Yankees on 08 10th, 2010 | No Comments
Robinson Cano is out of tonight’s lineup due to the cold according to Chad Jennings: Robinson Cano said he’s out of today’s lineup because he’s been sick since yesterday. He called it a cold, and his voice is a little more scratchy than usual. He said he’s felt low on energy. Cano has taken some medicine and plans to take some batting practice in the cage, but he’s not sure whether he’ll be able to pinch hit. Also, according to Marc Carig/The Star-Ledger, Teixeira may miss the 6-game road trip with the Yankees, because Mark plans on being with his wife for the birth of...

Congratulations C.C. Sabathia

Posted by Brian Capozzi in NY Yankees on 08 7th, 2010 | No Comments
With their 5-2 victory this afternoon/early evening against the Boston Red Sox, Yankees ace C.C. Sabathia earned the 150th win of his career. After allowing two runs in the 2nd inning, Sabathia can give thanks to a two-out, two-run 5th inning rally, and another run in the 6th inning, Sabathia was able to cruise the rest of the way to his 14th win of the season. Over eight inning pitched, he allowed two runs on six hits, to lower his season ERA to 3.14 on the season. At the end of the 2010 season, Sabathia’s 10th in his career, he could very well be a 300-win pitcher. It’s crazy...

Chan Ho Park is a Pirate

Posted by Colin MacNeil in MLB, NY Yankees on 08 4th, 2010 | 1 Comment
It has taken Chan Ho Park less then a week to find a new home, which happens to be in the National League. According to Chad Jennings the Pittsburgh Pirates have claimed Park off waivers. Of course an ex-Yankees pitcher is heading to Pittsburgh. Isn’t this what always happens? The Pirates have claimed Chan Ho Park off waivers and will add him to their limited pitching staff. Pittsburgh will pick up what’s left of Park’s contract. I think every Yankees fan can concur with me when i say, is that the fans are glad that his days in Pinstripes are over!!
