7-5 now.

Nova did not look good but Cano and the pen saved him

For a team that was suppose to struggle big time in April, we look decent

Right on..Mo looks in mid season form

Got your fingers croosed, and all of your lucky charms all lined up Yankee fans?


Mariano Rivera will shag fly balls at Kauffman Stadium during batting practice this weekend, just a little more than a year after he tore the ACL in his right knee doing that exact thing.
On May 3 of last season, Rivera crumbled to the ground near the Kauffman Stadium warning track after injuring his knee. He had season-ending surgery soon after, but the all-time saves leader insists he won’t let that spook him during his return to Kansas City.

“The only thing that will come back to me is just knowing that I got hurt there,” Rivera told the New York Daily News. “I will enjoy it, definitely. Because that moment, and seeing where I am right now, that’s why it’s gratifying.”
Rivera, 43, already has announced that this will be his last season in the majors, so his return to Kansas City this weekend also will mark his farewell to Kansas City (barring a return in the postseason).
He has been as good as ever this season, posting a 2.03 ERA and converting all 12 of his save opportunities. And he isn’t surprised.
“I just wanted to make sure that the leg was good, that the leg was good to respond in situations like that,” Rivera told the newspaper. “Once I was able to do that, I was able to do everything else. But I trust my abilities. If I were to have doubts how my performance would be, I don’t think I would be doing it.”

Girardi and Cashman deserve a lot of credit with putting these Yankees together and keeping them on top. I almost hate to see the guys on the DL come back. Almost.

Yankees are the 2nd best team in baseball with their MINOR league team.Go look at the TIGERS 4 games over 500 in the weak central.Funny Tiger fans think because they beat us 3 times in the playoffs they can talk.When your team does not win a World Series for 30 years noone really cares what you think.GO YANKS

Last month Amanda Rykoff noted that the Yankees’ “craft beer” section at Yankee Stadium was anything but. They’re continuing to have problems with basic beer identification, however, as now Patrick Wall of DNAInfoNY spied Goose Island listed as an “import.” Which, no, it’s not. It’s a Chicago beer. Wait, no it’s not. It’s actually brewed in New Hampshire. Beer is so confusing!
Or maybe the Yankees are just making a clever comment about the fact that Goose Island, once an independent brewery, is now owned by InBev, which is a Belgian company. But I don’t think that’s what’s really going on here. I think whoever runs Yankee Stadium’s beer concession just thinks non-Bud/non-Miller is an “import.” Which maybe worked on Applebee’s menus a decade ago, but even non-fancy, non-beer-snobby people and places typically get this right now.
What a shame. There is so much good beer to be had at ballparks these days yet the home of the marquee team in baseball is living in the beery dark ages.

to bad yankee fans about Curtis being hurt again..He did give you a couple games before going on the DL again...

as for that trade with Austin Jackson... he to is on the DL. first time he ever is been. so he will miss about 15 whole games since that trade for granderson.

Another big series win for the Yankees.

We should win 3 of 4 against the crappy Mets before a big series with the Sox

 

[BigDDude]

Just trying to get some opinions from Yankee fans on this. What are your feelings about the Mets asking Mariano Rivera to throw out the first pitch in the game tonight?


Should he? If no, then why not? In any way classy by the Mets?

Phelps rhymes with help. Which is what he needed a lot more of today.
