Last night I took a special trip out to Staten Island with Greg from Pending Pinstripes to check out the new call-ups and signings who have joined the team in the last week or two. In case you’ve been sitting in a dark room somewhere the Yankees gave Rob Segedin (3B), Cito Culver (SS) and [...]

Yankees Pitching Review – July 2010 (The Extra Late Edition)
Hey how about some even later than usual graphs?? I have no excuse, I’m just lazy. And honestly this is going to be a comparatively lazy post because I’m stupidly busy once again. So apologies in advance for all laziness. Here’s where we are up to this point (two weeks ago or so) in the [...]
AJ Burnett: The Ride, Coming Soon To A Stadium Near You
Disclaimer: I am fully aware that the following graph does not actually resemble a roller coaster track thanks to my physics class in 9th grade. These two graphs don’t tell us anything we don’t know about AJ Burnett: He is inconsistent and has magnificent and truly horrible starts. That’s just how he rolls. Like a [...]
Prospect Stalking: Andrew Brackman
Last Friday I went back to Trenton, this time to claim a David Robertson bobblehead that looks nothing like him. As an added bonus, Andrew Brackman was pitching. A quick catch-up: Andrew Brackman dropped to the Yankees in the first round in 2007 due to signability concerns and they grabbed him then signed him to [...]
Alex Please Hit 600 Already
I understand that round number 600 is taking A-Rod longer than expected. He’s not a young guy and he has a hip that needs some rest and never gets any. But I would very much like for him to knock it out already. The crowd at Yankee Stadium desperate to be a part of baseball [...]
A Night Out At Waterfront Park
Friday night I made a trip to Waterfront Park in Trenton with my boyfriend and a few buddies. It was my first time at the park. I don’t drive and it’s doable but a loooong trip on public transportation. The best way to solve this is to find a friend who drives and abuse that [...]
Joba Chamberlain Did Not Suck Last Night
Joba Chamberlain entered last night’s game against the Royals with a slim lead and the 9-1-2 hitters coming up. I did what I do these days when he comes into a game and half covered my face so that I could avoid watching if we happened to get the godawful version of Joba on the [...]
Yankees Pitching Review – June 2010
It’s that time again! Avert your eyes or click elsewhere if you have any triggers based around graphs with baseball stats. Let’s kick this off with the usual staff overviews. Well, it stayed mostly flat. That’s not bad as a whole. Probably not what the Yankees were expecting but that’s what happens when some guys [...]
Five Games in Four Days: The Aftermath
I think it’s important for me to start this off with a confession: I actually wound up going to only four games in four days, which is slightly less insane than five in four. I got myself together on Friday and went down to Yankee Stadium, got in the security line and then saw that [...]
Get Better Soon, AJ
AJ Burnett was bad in June. Usually his bad months consist of two horror shows, with some okay starts and gems mixed in but not this time. I am working on something separately, but for the time being here is a graph I made. A challenge was handed out on a sports message board that [...]
