Congratulations to Jorge Posada! In the 6th inning of today’s game versus the Detroit Tigers, Jorge didn’t just hit an RBI single… he passed Thurman Munson to go into 17th place with 1,559 career hits. The reason why this is such a significant milestone for Posada is because, as noted by John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman, he idolizes Thurman Munson. The single also extended the Yankees lead in the game to 4-2 in the bottom of the 6th...

Alex Rodriguez is not in tonight’s lineup due to a low-level strain in his left calf. Ramiro Pena will replace A-Rod at the hot-corner. This is what Rodriguez had to say about the injury: “I have no idea right now,” Rodriguez said when asked how long he would miss. “I feel surprisingly better than I thought. Hopefully, it’s just a day-to-day thing.” “I’m not concerned,” Rodriguez said when asked if the injury could derail his offensive momentum. “I’m going to be fine. I feel myself, our team, overall, we’re going to...

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 idea...

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...

Alex Rodriguez is not in tonight’s lineup, and is listed day-to-day with a tight left calf. A-Rod left before the fifth inning with tightness in is calf. No tests on the calf are scheduled. As first reported on Yankees.com, Nick Swisher was pulled from Monday’s 3-1 loss to Detroit in the sixth inning with a tight right forearm, and was listed day-to-day. Well, it took less then 24 hours. Swisher is back in the lineup and playing in right field. Lance Berkman remains day-to-day according to Joe Girardi: “I don’t expect it to be a long time, but I don’t know if...

According to Bryan Hoch, Lance Berkman is listed day-to-day. This is what Berkman had to say about his ankle injury: “It feels OK,” said Berkman, who finished the day 0-for-2 in the loss. “I think it’s just more painful than anything else. I twisted it when I hit the bag there.” Jorge Posada will be replacing Berkman, as the designated hitter for tonight’s game.

The Yankees are back in the Bronx, after a six game road trip, where the Bombers split both series between the Texas Rangers and the Kansas City Royals. The Bombers are set to embark on another four game series, against the Detroit Tigers. The last time these two teams met, was back in May (10th to the 13th) to be exact. The outcome for the Bombers wasn’t the greatest, they lost the series three games to one. Yankee faithfuls are hoping for a better outcome, second time around. Update on Andy Pettitte: According to Mark Feinsand, Andy is frustrated, after suffering a setback on...

The Yankees, are about to commence, on the fourth and final game, of this four game series. With a win today, the Yankees would take, four out of six, on this road trip, which started in Texas. Jorge Posada is sitting out today, after playing the last two games. Francisco Cervelli is behind the plate today, to catch for Burnett. Lance Berkman is back in the DH position.

Last night, at Kauffman Stadium, there was a volley of A-Bombs landing in the stands. Alex Rodriguez had back-to-back-to-back Home Runs, giving the Yankees a 8-3 win, over the Kansas City Royals. 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. This is what A-Rod has to say about his monstrous outing: “Tonight was a treat,” Rodriguez said. “Obviously it was a fun night and a night I’ll never forget. You...

Nick Swisher is back tonight, playing in right field, after sitting out last night’s game. Swisher was out of the lineup yesterday, due too extreme heat in Kansas City, which the heat-index reached over 100 degrees. Girardi took Swisher out in the 9th inning, on Thursday night, because of the heat, and didn’t want Swisher to suffer from heat exhaustion. Alex Rodriguez is DHing tonight, and Curtis Granderson is back to his familiar spot in the lineup, batting 7th, after batting 2nd the previous two games. Ramiro Pena will be replacing A-Rod, at the hot-corner. New York Yankees:...

Happy Friday the 13th, Yankee faithfuls!! No one in sports, is more superstitious, than baseball players. Wade Boggs, ate chicken before every game, Nomar Garciaparra fixed his batting gloves, and tapped his toes after every pitch, just to name a few. Here are the Top 9 Baseball Superstitions. Update on Andy Pettitte: According to Chad Jennings, Pettitte at 75 percent in sim game. Andy Pettitte threw his sim game today in Tampa, but he felt like he was only able to push off 75 percent. “He probably needs a little more rest, that’s all,” Joe Girardi said. Pettitte was able to throw the...

After last night’s dramatic come from behind win, against the Rangers, which the Bombers won 7-6, the Yankees head to Kansas City, for a 4 game series. C.C Sabathia is looking for his 15th win tonight, which would tie him for 1st place in the American League, with David Price, of the Tampa Bay Rays. Mark Teixeira is back in the lineup tonight, after him and his wife Leigh, celebrated the birth of their third child, William Charles, this past Monday. Tonight LHP CC Sabathia (14-5, 3.14) vs. LHP Bruce Chen (7-5, 4.44) Friday RHP Dustin Moseley (2-1, 3.86) vs. RHP Kyle Davies (5-7,...

After last night’s disappointing defeat, no thanks to David Murphy, who hit a pitch off of Mariano Rivera, in the bottom of the 10th. Look for the Yankees to bounce back tonight, with Robinson Cano and Jorge Posada back in the lineup tonight. Cliff Lee is 5-4 with a 4.72 ERA in 10 career starts against the Yankees, including a complete-game win on June 29, which was his only start vs the Yankees this year. Also, the Yankees saw Lee twice in the World Series, and they couldn’t beat him either time. Some Yankee faithfuls may say, that tonight’s game might be over, even before it...

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...

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 to...
