Big Papi gets the good wood on the ball, as he drives his 7th homer on the year out of the park!



The Grandy Man and everyone else is admiring his blast at Fenway! *Look for the tiny, and white dot right above the "P" in Park.


Alfredo Aceves roughed up as the Yankees fall to the Red Sox.

The Yankees worked overtime last night, but it was the Red Sox who eventually won the AL East contest 7-6, in 10 innings. Dustin Moseley, working in extra innings, took the loss, allowing 1 run in 4 and third innings. Curtis Granderson launched a big home run and knocked in 3 runs to provide the offensive firepower.

Joe Girardi was asked after the game about his team's efforts."It's no mystery why we lost today. We didn't score more runs than the Red Sox."

The Yankees look for another road win in game 2 of the series tonight, but it won't be a walk in the park: the Red Sox starter is Josh Beckett (2-4, 3.53), their ace, who will work against Phil Hughes (1-0, 1.47).

New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman had this to say,"To be quite honest with everyone, I was pursuing Cliff Lee way before I ever traded for Roy Oswalt. Cliff had gotten injured, and it was too soon to tell how serious it was.

Jack Zduriencik was eager to do another deal with me from last time as I acquired David Aardsma from him previously. Cliff Lee will complete the rotation and it should be solid for the rest of the season."


Seattle Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik had no comments on the trade.

Cliff Lee had this to say,"The Yankees have been making a lot of early moves this season and I honestly didn't think I would be pursued after getting injured early on. But that sure didn't stop them. Just like the previous players who have been traded for said, we are coming to a great winning organization.

I shouldn't have any problem fitting in, as I now will get to pitch with my friend C.C. Sabathia. I hope I will be able to help this team a great deal, and bring another championship to New York. And if I'm resigned in the off season, hopefully I could help bring a lot more."

Curtis "Take It Back" Granderson robs Nolan Reimold of a home run!


Brian Roberts still showing that he wants to be in contention for the Gold Glove, with a gorgeous turn on the double play!

New York squeezes out victory over Baltimore.

Tonight at Yankee Stadium the Yankees were able to put enough runs on the board to beat the Orioles, 4-2 the final. Andy Pettitte gave up 1 run and 4 hits over 6 and a third innings of work, and that was good enough for him to record his 5th win of the season, and 5th in a row.

Giving the offense a mild boost was Brett Gardner, who went 2-for-3 on the day.

The Yankees travel to Boston for the first game of a 7-game road swing, as Phil Hughes (1-0, 1.47) gets the nod against Clay Buchholz (1-2, 3.95) under the lights at Fenway Park tomorrow.

Adrian Beltre hopes to add to his 10-game hitting streak.

Roy "Whiff Master" Oswalt delivering a pitch in tonight's game!


Robbie Cano knows many ways to turn a double play, as he does it beautifully again tonight!


Roy Oswalt picks up career strikeout number 1500 in team's victory.

The Yankees squeaked out a 5-4 win over the Orioles last night in front of 51,683 fans at Yankee Stadium, pinning a one-run loss on the visitors from Baltimore.

Roy Oswalt picked up his 2nd win of the season, going 7 and a third innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits. Mark Teixeira was 1-for-4 and had 1 RBI on the day.

Tomorrow night Andy Pettitte (4-0, 4.55) of the Yankees will oppose Jeremy Guthrie (2-1, 7.71) and the Orioles in the finale of the series at Yankee Stadium. Nick Markakis hopes to add to his 13-game hitting streak.

Marcus Thames was not able to get up high enough to bring the ball back!


C.C. delivering a pitch in the first inning, he earned his 2nd complete game later on in the night!



The Yankees rout Kevin Millwood for 8 runs in their win.

Under the lights of Yankee Stadium tonight, the Yankees smashed the Orioles 11-4, giving the 50,711 fans on hand plenty of chances to cheer. Going the distance to earn his 4th win of the season, C.C. Sabathia gave up 4 runs on 8 hits, and fanned 6.

Derek Jeter drilled a home run and drove in 4 runs to lead the offense. After the game, Joe Girardi discussed the game. He said: "It's always a good day when you put up 11 runs like we did today."

The series resumes tonight at Yankee Stadium, with the Yankees' Roy Oswalt (1-2, 4.24) and the Orioles' Brad Bergesen (1-2, 5.46) set as the probable starting pitchers.

Jorge says safe, but the umpire surely did not agree!


Fair or Foul? A.J. Pierzynski was wondering the exact same thing!

New York drops one to Chicago and their always solid right-hander Freddy Garcia.

It could have been worse for New York - but not much worse - as the club suffered a HUMILIATING 14-4 loss to Chicago in front of 50,435 fans at Yankee Stadium yesterday. Giving the offense a boost was Alex Rodriguez, who went 2-for-3 with a solo home run.

Javier Vazquez (1-2) was roughed up in defeat, as he only pitched 3 innings, giving up 4 runs on 7 hits.

Big Gun C.C. Sabathia (3-1, 3.27) will get the nod for the Yankees tonight at Yankee Stadium as the club begins a series with the Orioles, while Kevin Millwood (2-1, 4.13) gets the tough assignment for Baltimore.

Nick Markakis hopes to add to his 11-game hitting streak.

Someone please give Robbie Cano a Gold Glove, as he turns another beautiful double play!


A.J. Pierzynski was very proud showing off the ball after making an amazing catch behind the plate!


New York finally loses, snapping 3-game winning streak with loss to Chicago.

The Yankees lost a tight contest with the White Sox last night, with Chicago picking up a 4-2 victory on the road. By the time things were settled, starter Phil Hughes was out of the game, though he did earn a quality start by allowing 1 run in 6 innings of work. Closer Mariano Rivera was smoked for 2 runs in relief, coughing up a save opportunity and taking the loss out of the bullpen.

Curtis Granderson collected 2 hits -- including a home run -- and 2 RBI in 4 at-bats to spur the offense. Joe Girardi took some questions from the media after game and was not too happy, he said,"I know I'm supposed to tip my hat to the other team or something like that, but I'm just too ticked we lost the lead late. You can tip your hate if you want, but I'm not moving a muscle."

The Yankees and White Sox wrap things up tonight, with the Yankees sending Javier Vazquez (1-1, 6.35) to the hill while Freddy Garcia (2-1, 4.43) will toe the rubber for the White Sox.

Alex Rios can't believe that A-Rod hit a home run into Monument Park!


Mark Teixeira had to stretch all the way out to make a nice catch at first!


Yankees win at home to seize 1-0 series lead.

The Yankees whipped the White Sox 10-3 last night before a crowd of 52,325 excited fans at Yankee Stadium. Leading the way offensively was Francisco Cervelli, who had 3 RBI and 3 hits in 4 at-bats. Andy Pettitte threw 5 and a third innings of work, allowing 3 runs and 4 hits, but it was good enough for his 4th straight victory and 4th of the season. Joe Girardi discussed his team's performance, he said,"Gavin Floyd's a tough right nobody likes to face - unless it's our hitters, because we beat him today"

The next game of the series is this afternoon, with Phil Hughes (1-0, 1.46) going for the Yankees and John Danks (2-2, 5.11) scheduled to start for the White Sox.
