A-Rod vs. Pettitte

The LoHud Yankees Blog | Journal News — When Andy Pettitte faces hitters tomorrow, it won’t be simply a string of minor leaguers going head-to-head against the veteran. Alex Rodriguez will take BP against Pettitte in what Rodriguez is hoping will be his final test before returning to the lineup on Sunday. Rodriguez wouldn’t promise a return on Sunday, but it seems at least [...]

The Big Sleep

Bronx Banter — My man Dimelo sent this separated-at-birth call to me last night. Not bad… After the game yesterday, A’s starter, Dallas Braden was disappointed by the lack of Bronx Cheer he received: I was expecting more,” said Braden, who verbally sparred with Alex Rodriguez early this season before throwing a perfect game against Tampa Bay on [...]

A-Rod confirms split with agent Boras

New York Daily News — Alex Rodriguez's decision to split with Scott Boras, the famed agent who helped make the Yankees third baseman the highest-paid player in Major League Baseball history, doesn't make a whole lot of sense, one baseball insider says.

Pregame notes: CC, A-Rod, Nunez and Posada

The LoHud Yankees Blog | Journal News — As I write this, Alex Rodriguez is on the field taking batting practice and – just my opinion – he looks to be moving pretty freely. I know A-Rod is trying to be cautious about whether he’ll return on Sunday (the first day he’s eligible) but at this point there doesn’t seem to be any [...]

Boras and A-Rod divorce

River Ave. Blues — It seems like an odd time to do so, but Craig Calcaterra of Hardball Talk reports that Alex Rodriguez has fired longtime agent Scott Boras. It actually happened a month ago. Jay Reisinger, who has acted as both A-Rod‘s and Andy Pettitte‘s counsel in dealing with PED matters, will take over as A-Rod’s full-time representative.

Game 134: Get off our mound

River Ave. Blues — When the Yankees visited the Athletics earlier this season, Alex Rodriguez sparked a little mini-controversy when he casually jogged across the pitcher’s mound on his way back to first base following a foul ball. No one would have even noticed Alex’s mishap if not for A’s starter Dallas Braden, who opened his yap and told [...]Post from: River Ave. Blues A New York Yankees blogGame 134: Get off our mound

Older A-Rod says he 'feels great'

New York PostAlex Rodriguez turned 35 in July and limped onto the disabled list in August, and the correlation feels obvious — except not to A-Rod. Rodriguez does not believe his left calf strain is related to age. An injury is sometimes just an injury, he believes, and not a reflection of your...

Yanks rout A’s en route to fourth straight win

River Ave. Blues — Despite their generally mediocre starting pitching and lack of Alex Rodriguez, the Yankees managed to reel off three straight wins coming into Tuesday’s game against the Athletics, and they wasted no time making sure it would be four in a row. The struck early and often with a loud offensive attack that featured homers, double [...]Post from: River Ave. Blues A New York Yankees blogYanks rout A’s en route to fourth straight win

Postgame notes: Where you want to be on September 1

The LoHud Yankees Blog | Journal News — August was a not any easy month for the Yankees. Alex Rodriguez and Lance Berkman both went on the disabled list, Andy Pettitte did not return as soon as expected, road trips to Toronto and Kansas City didn’t go as expected, A.J. Burnett didn’t win a game, and Curtis Granderson got off to such a [...]

  • Short life of a Super Nova Yankees Blog | ESPN New York It's hard to imagine Joe Girardi pulling any of his other starters, even the notoriously erratic A.J. Burnett, after just 76 pitches and 4-2/3 innings in a game the Yankees were winning. But that is just what the Yankee manager did with super-rook Ivan Nova this afternoon, yanking him one out shy of getting out of the fifth inning, which deprived him of the chance to get the win. It's true that Nova did not seem to have the electric stuff he showed in his first two major-league starts -- his fastball, previously clocked as high as 97 MPH, never went above 94 today and mostly loitered in the n...
  • Bullpen baffles Jays Yankees Blog | ESPN New York Four relievers from the suddenly reliable Yankees bullpen held Toronto hitless over the final 4 1/3 innings. Boone Logan entered the game with two out in the fifth and retired Lyle Overbay on a strikeout. Dave Robertson relieved Logan with one out in the sixth. He got out of a two-out jam with runners on second and third by striking out Mike McCoy. Kerry Wood replaced Robertson with one out in the seventh and - after a scoreless 1 2/3 appearance - handed the ball to Mariano Rivera. Rivera pitched a scoreless ninth. Wood was awarded the win by the official scorer, who made the judgement beca...
