Let’s take a look at Andy Pettitte’s numbers in a few ways. I am doing this up because recently I whined about how not very good Andy has looked lately and the refutation was starts, innings, runs. So here we go. First, results only. Because as we all know, results are what are most important. [...]

Is Dave Eiland Right About Wang's Sinker?
After the last disaster of a start the Yankees got from Chien-Ming Wang, Dave Eiland said that he thought Wang’s sinker was better than it had been in his first two starts. Using the Pitch F/X tool provided by Brooks Baseball it’s pretty easy to check out how it was behaving for each start. So, [...]
THE SKY IS FALLING (Maybe)
The big news today is that Alex Rodriguez has a (partially) torn labrum in his hip, which caused the cyst that was found. If you don’t know this, you’ve been hanging out in a nuclear fallout shelter all day. The Yankees have announced that he is not—as of now—undergoing surgery to fix it and that [...]
Panic Ensues
“We don’t think it’s anything serious,” Girardi said. “I’m not really concerned that he’s going to be shut down for a while, but there’s a chance that he’s going miss a start, and we might have to be a little bit creative.” Oh my God he is going to be out forever.
Eric Milton Returns (Oh God)
From Chad Jennings’ SWB Yankees Blog: Eric Milton was added to the Triple-A roster late Monday night and immediately placed on the disabled list. All of it was retroactive to Saturday. There are now like a billion starting pitchers on the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre roster, including Russ Ohlendorf who they have got doing starting work until he [...]
The Yankees Should Sign Barry Bonds
The Yankees have faced two not very good Rangers pitchers in a row and have scraped out a total of 2 runs in infuriating fashion. It’s not often that you get to face a pitcher who is worse when he’s not pitching at Arlington but the Yankees apparently got confused and thought they were in [...]
Apparently, Things Can Get Worse
Andy’s curveball command wasn’t working well tonight and it cost him because he couldn’t use it like he normally would though overall he looked solid. Breaks my heart to see him give up homeruns of course, though hopefully it’s something he’ll get under control. It doesn’t help when the Yankees can’t score more than two [...]
At Least Nothing Else Can Go Wrong?
A-Rod is going on the 15 Day Disabled List. Jorge Posada is on the DL for the first time in his career. Brian Bruney after working really hard and looking good is out for the season with torn ligaments in his foot, although he keeps trying to find a doctor that says otherwise (good luck [...]
