Let Alex Rodriguez Hit, Dammit
Are you ready for the end of Alex Rodriguez’s tumultuous tenure with the New York Yankees? According to the New York Daily News, it might be coming sooner than you think....
John McEnroe Brought The Heat
The best first pitch of 2016 does not belong to a 92-year-old World War II veteran, Snoop Dogg, or, uh, whoever these people are. No, the honor goes to John McEnroe, who smoked this fastball in to open this evening’s Mets-Yankees game....
New York's Other Baseball Team Sends Andrew Miller Off To Cleveland
Just a couple of weeks ago, New York Yankees president/Donald Trump enthusiast Randy Levine asserted that “The Yankees have never been quitters.” Dubious as this claim was, if taken at face value it would suggest that under this true rich asshole the Yankees have reached an unprecedented low point, ...
Will The Yankees Get Out Of Their Own Way And Be Sellers?
The New York Yankees are a mediocre baseball team that also happens to employ a plethora of talented players that more competitive teams would gladly pay a decent price to acquire. If the Yankees were any other team, the path forward would be quite clear: Have a fire sale at the deadline, restock th...
CC Sabathia Felled By Mighty Pitching Mound
While throwing against the Orioles this afternoon, Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia caught his cleat in the dirt and took a little tumble. The fall resulted in a balk and advanced Chris Davis to second base....
Aroldis Chapman Threw Some Pitches Hard As Hell
We already know that Aroldis Chapman can throw harder than anyone in the history of baseball—unless you buy that story about Bob Feller, who was badass, throwing a pitch 107 mph one time—but the Yankees’ closer was throwing particularly hard last night....
Ballhawk Zack Hample Throws Fit Because Someone Else Wanted A Baseball
The Yankees staged a wild comeback last night, erasing a four-run ninth inning deficit and walking off on a Didi Gregorius home run to beat the Rangers 9-7. But also, who gives a shit about the Yankees? We’re here for the grown man getting snitty over a baseball....
Joe Girardi Played Himself
There was a very weird baseball game in New York last night. The Yankees led the Rangers 6-5 heading into the ninth inning of a game that had been waterlogged by rainstorms since the fifth. Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman entered the storm to try and close things out, but walked the first batter he f...
These Athletes Busted For Speeding Were Driving Slower Than Aroldis Chapman's Average Pitch Velocity Last Night
Yankees flamethrower Aroldis Chapman averaged 101.9 mph on his eleven pitches last night against the Twins—and that’s only because one of them was a changeup. How fast is 101.9 mph? Faster than cops clocked the following athletes when they were busted for speeding:...
Are You Ready For Unbearable Trade Rumor Season?
Listen, can you hear it? A faint whisper grows louder. “The Cubbies could use another bat on the bench.” it says. “Why not trade for Andrew McCutchen?”...
Hideki Matsui Jacks Old-Timers' Game Dong
Hideki Matsui has been out of baseball for four years, but the former Yankee still has that oomph—as proven during today’s Old-Timers’ Game in the Bronx, when the slugger crushed a David Cone pitch into the second deck....
Jose Bautista Murders Beverage
The Blue Jays beat the Yankees tonight and the Blue Jays’ best slugger even had the nerve to take it out on Yankees fans, smashing a beverage (presumably beer?) showering the upper chunk of a section in suds (or maybe soda! who knows!). ...
Aroldis Chapman Still Says He Did Nothing Wrong
Aroldis Chapman returns to the Yankees today after serving his 30-game domestic violence suspension, but the fireballing reliever has yet to take much responsibility for the incident that landed him on MLB’s banned list....
David Ortiz Held Back From Ump After Striking Out With Bases Loaded

Masahiro Tanaka Is The Only Good Yankee
The New York Yankees are last in the American League East at 9-17, and tonight they suffered maybe the most bitter defeat of what’s been a real dirge of a season. Their offense has been particularly bad, generating the fewest runs in the AL and mustering just the second-lowest OPS in the AL. The tea...
Sad Tiny Yankees Fan Doesn't Want Anyone Cheering Chris Coghlan's Home Run
Athletics outfielder Chris Coghlan’s two-run homer in Thursday’s game bummed out one small Yankees fan. When a woman sitting next to him started to clap, he swiftly scolded her for supporting Oakland....
