New York Yankees Postgame Alert for July 12

The Yankees head into the All-Star break on a very low note. Even with key players absent from the Angels lineup, the Yankees could once again not overcome the mighty Angels and got swept over the weekend. The Yankees continue to show that they cannot win the big game this season. Going for 0 for 8 against Boston and now getting swept against the Angels is not what the Yankees had in mind. Now they must get ready for the 2nd half of the season. The Rays are right behind them and the Red Sox now have a 3 game lead in the AL East. I am sure Cashman will be working the phones over the break to see if there are any moves to be made.

New York Yankees Postgame Alert for July 7

Sabathia shined as the Yankees defeated the Twins in Minnesota. The Yankees amassed 16 hits with their 10 runs in the 10-2 win. Sabathia moved to 8-5 on the season and the Yankees move back to 15 games over .500. The next goal has to be 20 games over .500. With the Red Sox winning as well, the Yankees remain 1 game back in the AL East. Cano finally had a hit with runners in scoring position but he continues to struggle at the plate. Teixiera had 4 hits and his bat continues to be hot. The Yankees need to continue to stay hot on this long road trip before the All-Star break. Go Yankees! It would be great to move into the lead in the AL East before the break and have the 2nd best record in baseball behind Joe Torre's Dodgers.

New York Yankees Postgame Alert for July 6

Well the comeback almost came to light, but the Yankees fell short 7-6 at the stadium before heading to Minnesota tomorrow. Pettitte dropped to 8-4 on the season as the Yankees got hit hard early. They tried to stage a rally, even having bases loaded several times, but could not come through. Wang was placed on the 15-DL with his shoulder injury and it will be wait and see with him at this point. I do not expect a start from him until well after the All-Star Break at best. Lets hope the Yankees can head into Minnesota where the Twins have been playing great baseball.

New York Yankees Postgame Alert for July 5

The Yankees bats continued to be hot in a game that Joba did not pitch well in. The offense was needed and Joba struggled most of this game. A 4 run lead quickly turned into Toronto favor as they took a 6-4. The Yankees had to battle back once again and got bit hits all around. Albaledejo got the victory to go to 3-1 on the season and Aceves picked up his first save of the year. The Yankees finish this series with the Blue Jays tomorrow before the All-Star Game. With several Yankees in the lineup, it should be a fun game. Lets hope the Yankees can grab the victory tomorrow before the All-Star break. Go Yankees!

New York Yankees Postgame Alert for July 4

Happy Birthday Mr. Steinbrenner!!!! Jorge came through in extra-innings at the Yankees defeated the Blue Jays 6 to 5 at the stadium. 46,000 witnessed the Yankees comeback. A big homerun by Johnny Damon late tied the game up. Cano is still struggling and the bunt on the 3-0 count caught everybody by surprise, especially Mark Teixeira was never ran from 2nd. I am sure Joe will have words for Mr. Cano, who needs to wake up and fast! A-Rod, who was intentionally walked, scored the winning run when Jorge connected on an off-speed pitch he delivered to center field for the win. Keep it up Yankees and take game 4 of this 4 game series. Beating Roy is a huge feat for the Yankees. Take care..........Brad
