Nine Up, Nine Down: Welcoming the Yankees

Written on April 23rd, 2009 by Evan Brunell42735 Commentshttp://firebrandal.com/2009/04/23/nine-up-nine-down-welcoming-the-yankees.htmlNine+Up%2C+Nine+Down%3A+Welcoming+the+Yankees2009-04-23+12%3A00%3A00Evan+Brunell

In advance of the Yankees coming to town tomorrow for a three-game set in what will be the unofficial start of baseball season around here, I figure we should get caught up with what’s going on in Yankeeland.

After the jump we bring you up to speed on CC Sabathia’s struggles, the injury report plus a breakdown of the pitcher’s the Sox will face this weekend.

Know Thine Enemy 2009: New York Yankees

Written on April 1st, 2009 by Tito Crafts418719 Commentshttp://firebrandal.com/2009/04/01/know-thine-enemy-2009-new-york-yankees.htmlKnow+Thine+Enemy+2009%3A+New+York+Yankees2009-04-01+11%3A00%3A00Tito+Crafts

The other half of the best rivalry in sports, The New York Yankees. The Bronx Bombers “only” ended up with 89 victories last season. And the key players they inked this past off-season, have them looking incredibly strong on paper for this upcoming 2009 season.

The philosophy about building a strong farm was basically put on hold for a year. But Brian Cashman made some nice maneuvers, and the result–whether it was intentional or not–allowed the Yankees to lose their first three picks this year. And that is better than losing a first-round pick in three consecutive seasons, of course.
