Mt. Crushmore!
Ok, Greg Bird is out of the picture for now, but how about the murderer’s row on display in today’s finale against the Rays? Stanton, Judge and Sanchez all hit bombs and Didi put on a HR show...

Too Depressing to Write About
So I’ll leave yesterday’s recap and the general malaise I’m feeling about the Yankees (the losses, the injuries, the strikeouts, the bullpen) to Erik Boland of Newsday. Yes, I know it’ll get better,...

Boston Bummer
Yes, there was the brawl, and the Yankees managed to win that game in the season’s first series at Fenway. But the other games were tough to watch. The first was a mightily embarrassing blowout, and...

Weird series
It was just a two-game series against the Marlins, a team the Yankees should have swept easily. Instead, we blew them away in Game 1, thanks to a stellar outing by Severino and a barrage of hitting,...

The Yanks Are Suddenly Looking Formidable…
They really are. The Toronto series ended well and the series with the Twins has been great fun so far (go, Miguel Angujar!), and I’m hoping the early doldrums are over and done with. But I keep...

Playing the Twins Is Such Fun
The Yankees do have a great record against Minnesota, but the four-game sweep was heaven, especially yesterday’s come-from-behind walk-off win courtesy of Gary Sanchez. Wow. Other than having to...

They Weren’t Celebrating in Houston This Time
What a great road trip the Yankees had. First they took on the Angels – or, should I say, took down the Angels – and then came the Astros. I admit, I had my doubts about how they would do against the...

Tied
First, let me say that although we didn’t sweep the Red Sox and ended the series tied with them for first place, having briefly overtaken them on Wednesday night, the games in this series at Yankee...

On a Roll
The Yankees dropped the opener in this weekend’s series against the A’s, but they came roaring back in games 2 and 3. Game 2, especially, was a thrilling affair with Walker’s walk-off single in the...

Moving Hiatus
I’m moving – as in right this minute – and will have to take some time off from the blog to deal with the joys (not!) of packing, moving and unpacking over the next week or so. Michael and I decided...

All Rise
I’m back. Boxes are gone. So is the dreaded packing paper. And I can actually walk around my new place in FL without tripping over something. So….that means my head is clear for Yankees baseball, and...

Why Is Losing Such a Bummer?
The Yankees beat the Mets two out of three games at Citi Field this weekend. And yet it’s last night’s loss in the finale that bugs me. Well, it bugs me that the offense wasn’t exactly robust...

Now That Was a Great Sweep
It’s one thing to beat teams you’re supposed to beat, but the Mariners came into the Bronx and presented stiff competition. So when Chapman threw the last pitch of today’s game and nailed down the...

A Reverse Sweep – Not Good!
After Andujar’s homer in today’s finale against the Rays and Stanton’s later on, I thought maybe it would set the tone, there would be offense and we would fend off the Rays to avoid being swept....

Bombs Away in the Bronx!
What a finale last night against the Sox! After we were shellacked in Game 2 (Sonny Gray has to go, and Sale is truly the elite of the elite pitchers in baseball), the Yanks stormed back with a...

Dropping Like Flies
I was happy to get the series win over Toronto, even if yesterday’s finale took 10 innings to get there and there wasn’t much offense, but I’m worried about injuries going forward. It’s not good news...

Yankees-Rays: Another Loss at the Trop
I wasn’t there this time; I didn’t want to jinx the Yanks as I feared I did last time they came to St. Pete. I needn’t have worried. They jinxed themselves. Or, should I say, Gary Sanchez jinxed them...

My Heart Belongs to Judge
The Yanks acquired Britton and Happ since I last posted, and I’m supposed to be heartened by that. I’m pleased we got a starter and a premier reliever, really I am, but I’m still reeling from the loss...

Down the Drain
