The Yankees must Lockdown Derek Jeter before is too late.
Let’s be real here: There’s about as much chance of Derek Jeter going public with details of his love life, past and present, as there is of him playing for anyone but the Yankees next year and beyond.
But that doesn’t mean there won’t be plenty of behind-the-scenes intrigue when the Yankees and Jeter get together [...]

Jay Z’s Empire State of Mind – Yankees Edition
Following the win of an astounding 27th World Series title beating out the Phillies, the New York Yankees alongside the mayor of the “Big Apple”, Michael Bloomberg, celebrated yesterday with a victory parade and an encore performance by rapper Jay-Z.

The Stars Guarantee Lebron to New York 2010
OK, the Knicks put it all out on the court Friday night.
Strike that. What I meant to say is that they put it all out on the courtside seats.
They packed the house with the best talent New York has to offer: The Yankees’ CC Sabathia, Joba Chamberlain and Alex Rodriguez . . . The Giants’ [...]
Derek Jeter Yankees Best Closer Strikes Again
JETER HEATS UP IN CRUNCH TIME
Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, who won his fifth World Series ring, went 3-for-5 in the clinching game. He batted .407, hitting safely in all six games of the series. The 11-for-27 performance over the six contests was actually one his shy of the World Series record for a six-game set.
The [...]
Alex Rodriguez the Real World Series MVP
After 16 major league seasons, three American League MVP awards in his trophy case, 12 All-Star Game selections and a pair of Gold Gloves, Alex Rodriguez finally earned the piece of hardware he’s yearned for – a World Series ring.
A season that started with a confession of past steroid use and a 2009 debut slowed [...]
The Yankees $201.4 million bet paid off
The New York Yankees, who became World Series champs for the 27th time Wednesday night, logged the highest payroll in baseball for the 2009 season. This time, they definitely got what they paid for.
It wasn’t just the $201.4 million payroll that led to the Yankees’ successful season. It was how they spent that money — [...]
Philadelphia Phillies’ Rolls On.
Most people can’t wait to start their vacation. Not Chase Utley.
A loss away from a winter’s worth of golf outings, Utley extended the Philadelphia Phillies’ season at least two more days Monday, belting a pair of home runs to lead an 8-6 victory over the Yankees and send the World Series back to New York [...]
Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez worth every penny to Yanks
With Alex Rodriguez at third base and Derek Jeter at shortstop, the Yankees start every game with $52 million worth of ballplayers standing within 50 feet of each other, either in the dugout, bats in their hands, or in the infield. They’ve always earned their money, but this fall they have been a bargain.
The Yankees [...]
Instant replay steals victory for the Yankees
Alex Rodriguez never met a headline he couldn’t enlarge.
So there he was in the fourth inning, the Yanks reeling from a three-run deficit, the Philly fans chanting at him about steroids, and all Rodriguez did was slam a two-run homer off Cole Hamels to revive the Bronx zombies and lead them back to an 8-5 [...]
Mr. October (Mr. November?) Alex Rodriquez saves the Day
Maybe all Alex Rodriguez needed to come out of his funk was a good dose of Cole Hamels, the pitcher who has made an incredibly negative turnaround from one postseason to the next. From postseason MVP to postseason MIA.
A-Rod had quelled those demons of past unproductive postseasons when he hit .438 with five homers and [...]
Phillies Cold Off Red Hot Alex Rodriguez
After a sizzling first two playoff rounds, Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez reverted to his previous postseason struggles.
In last night’s 6-1 loss to the Phillies in the opening World Series game, Rodriguez went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts against Cliff Lee.
Rodriguez entered the 2009 postseason with a career .279 average, 7 home runs, and [...]
Alex Rodriguez simply unstoppable
As they stand there answering the questions, it’s almost as if Alex Rodriguez’s teammates’ eyes glaze over. Not because they don’t value what he has meant to the team and its postseason run, but because there is little to add at this point. The questions have been asked so frequently that original answers are few.
The [...]
CC Sabathia and Alex Rodriguez clips Angels wings.
So Chad Gaudin pitched in Game 4 after all.
And he wasn’t the least bit nervous.
That’s because Gaudin’s job was merely to polish the gem tossed by CC Sabathia in a 10-1 Yankee win over the Los Angeles Angels of Desperation.
Following days of jibberjabber over whether Sabathia should take the ball on three days rest (with [...]
Mr October (Alex Rodriguez) in a whole new level of excellence!
Maybe Brian Fuentes didn’t get the memo. Teeing up an 0-and-2 fastball for Alex Rodriguez with the game on the line? That may have worked in the past, but those repeated failures on the October stage are now ancient history for A-Rod.
Last night, with the Yankees down 3-2, Fuentes took the mound for the start [...]
Alex Rodriguez your New Mr. October?
Reggie Jackson threw out the first pitch before Game 2 of the AL Division Series between the New York Yankees and Minnesota Twins.
It wasn’t a great throw from the 63-year-old Yankees legend – wearing a top hat and a classy looking suit – but perhaps it signaled some kind of turn in the Yankees’ best [...]
You Have to Root for Yanks if you really like baseball
Even if your baseball allegiance isn’t wrapped in pinstripes, you should relent — just this once. In fact, anybody with a heart larger than a resin bag should root for the New York Yankees to win it all this season, because they deserve as much.

A-Rod to avoid penalty on PEDs
NEW YORK — Major League Baseball will not punish Alex Rodriguez after completing its investigation into whether he lied about his use of performance-enhancing drugs, the New York Times reported Saturday.
