Johnny Damon of the New York Yankees has a tough decision to make, and he is running out of time to make it. The Yankees and Damon had a conversation once again, and this time he was given the weekend to decide if he wants to return to the Yankees. If Damon were to decide that he wanted to come back to New York it would be on a bargain deal.

After Johnny Damon helped the Yankees win their 27th world Series with 100 runs, 24 of them being home runs, he thought he deserved a good deal. In December, Damon asked the Yankees for $20 million on a two-year deal. However, the Yankees signed Nick Johnson at that time and declined Damon his $20 million deal.

It is not looking good for Damon’s acceptance of a low-base contract from the Yankees, and low base would mean less than $5 million. His run with the Yankees may be officially ending early next week. There has been some talk of possible teams Damon may go to including The Giants, the Tigers, and the Braves.

The New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-1 and leveled the best of 7 set of the World Series to 1-1.

The reigning World Series champions were no match for the Yankees’ pitcher, A.J. Burnett, on Thursday night at the new Yankees’ stadium in the Bronx. Burnett stopped the top 4 Phillies’ hitters, who went 0-for-10 against him. Burnett struck out nine batters and only allowed 4 hits in seven innings, making this his best pitching game of the post season. This was also his first ever World Series appearance.

Mark Teixiera blasted a solo homer in the fourth inning off a high change up by Pedro Martinez to even the score 1-1. Hideki Matsui hit his 8th US career playoff homer to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead in the 6th inning.

Unfortunately for the second night in a row, Yankees playoff star Alex Rodriguez had three strike outs, continuing his World Series slump to 0-for-8.

Starting today, the series shifts to Philadelphia for games three through five where Cole Hamels is set to face Andy Pettitte. In 40 World Series appearances the New York Yankees have won 26 titles, which is twice as many as the Philadelphia Phillies.

The New York Yankees won their second game of the American League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night at Yankee Stadium. The Bronx was wet, cold, and filled with the tension of playoff baseball, which was heightened as the exciting game went into extra innings.

The Yankees scored in the second and third inning, leaving the Angels scoreless the 5th inning when they were able to score 2 runs. After that, neither team was able to score a run until the top of the 11th inning when Chone Figgins hit a single to give the angels a 3-2 lead. Alex Rodriguez was able to tie the game in the bottom of the 11th with a home run over the right field wall.

In the bottom of the 13th inning, with 1 out and runners on first and second, Melky Cabrera hit a ground ball to the left of Maicer Izturis, the second basemen for the Angels. Izturis threw Cabrera’s grounder to try to force Robinson Cano out at second base, but his throw was wide of Angels’ short stop, Erick Aybar. The over throw let Jerry Hairston, pinch runner for the Yankees, score the winning run for the Yankees allowing them to come away with a 4-3 victory.

The Yankees have a commanding lead of 2-0 going in to game 3 of the series which is now moving to California. Get your New York Yankee Playoff Tickets now.

The New York Yankees finished off their sweep of the Minnesota Twins on Sunday, October 11 and are another step closer to winning their 27th World Series title. This 4-1 victory over the Twins was their first playoff series win in 5 years. The 4-1 win for the Yankees was game 3 in the AL Division Series, and was also the final major league game to be played inside of the Metrodome before the Twins move to Target Field next season.

The Yankees were scoreless until the 7th inning when they were able to overcome strong pitching by former teammate Carl Pavano. Home runs by Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada took the first steps to the 4-1 victory over the Twins. Mariano Rivera ended the Twins’ season with the final four outs of the game and closed out Andy Pettitte’s 15th career postseason win.

For the first time since 2004, thanks to the three-game sweep against the Twins, the New York Yankees are now in the American League Championship Series. On Friday, October 16 the Yankees will play the Los Angeles Angels at Yankee Stadium to begin a best-of-seven set. This season the Yankees were 5-5 against the Angels, but in 2002 and 2005 the Angels were the team that eliminated the Yankees from the road to the World Series.

Friday, Sepetember 11, 2009 was definitely the night of Derek Jeter’s biggest moment. He made his 2,722 hit, passing Lou Gehrig for the most career hits of any New York Yankee. Jeter has officially solidified his spot as one of the Yankee greats.

This record breaking hit happened in the bottom of the third inning off of Orioles’ pitcher Chris Tillman. It was sent to right field, which comes as no surprise because 75 of his 188 hits this season have gone to the right of second base.

Jeter, a life-long Yankee who is now 35, only has a few years left in the major leagues, but this is no worry. He has left a huge impact in baseball, and his newest achievement only enhances the legacy he has built. Few players can even compare to Jeter’s heart, athleticism, commitment, and baseball ability.

The New York Yankees lost 10-4, but that was not enough to stop the excitement of Jeter’s accomplishment. The New York Yankees are now focused on winning the division and going to the playoffs.

To see record breaking Derek Jeter, and the rest of the Yankees, get yourself New York Yankees Playoff Tickets now.

With just 4 more hits New York Yankees captain, Derek Jeter, will pass Lou Gehrig for the most hits in the Yankees’ history. He’s getting there very quick too! In just the past 26 games he had 44 hits. He’s not wasting any time!

After 17 seasons, Lou Gehrig had a record of 2,721 hits with the New York Yankees just before his illness related retirement at age 35. Gehrig has held this record for 70 years.

On Saturday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays, New York fans cheered as Derek Jeter swung closer to breaking the record. In the New York Yankees 6-4 win over the Blue Jays, Jeter hit 2 singles bringing his record to 2,715 hits. That leaves him just 7 hits short of breaking the record.

On Monday, Derek Jeter has an excellent chance to break Gehrig’s mark in becoming the all time hitter when the New York Yankees return home to start their series against the Tampa Bay Rays with a double header. On this day, history could be made in New York at the New Yankee Stadium.

It took one extra inning, but the New York Yankees won their opening game against the Chicago White Sox 5-2. C.C. Sabathia held the White Sox back for the first six innings, until they broke through to tie the game in the seventh. Jermaine Dye interrupted the shut out with a double and was able to score after another double from Alex Rios.

In the tenth inning with two outs, the New York Yankees were able to become victorious with a little help from a homer by Robinson Cano. The White Sox pitcher, Randy Williams, was successful in striking out two batters in the tenth inning before walking Hideki Matsui and Nick Swisher. This was the perfect set up for Robinson Cano’s three run game winning homer.

The New York Yankees could not have done it without homers from Derek Jeter and Johnny Damon earlier in the ball game. This was Jeter’s seventeenth home run of the year and 223rd of his career. Damon’s homer was his 23rd which leaves him one homer short of his career high from 2006.

After last weekend’s disappointing series against rival Red Sox, they needed strong showings this week to stay in the hunt for the AL East lead as the All Star break approaches.

And for the most part, the Yankees have had a good week, but with an opportunity to gain on the Red Sox – who lost on Tuesday night – against the Nationals, the MLB’s worst team the Yanks were unable to capitalize.

Adam Dunn’s homerun was the deth knell for New York as Chien Ming Wang’s record for the season fell to 0-5.
The Yankees are keeping it close with the Sox as the symbolic mid-season break approaches. It would be a huge moral boost if they could close the gap by All-Star week.

Grab some Yankees tickets, and help them out as the look for a bounce-back season.

The premier rivalry in all of sports hasn’t been much to write home about so far this season – especially for Yankees fans. The Red Sox are Red Hot against the Bronx Bombers this year after an 8-0 start.

The Sox completed another sweep this week as this all-important series was renewed. This week’s series was a little more important than most in that the two clubs entered the series tied for the division lead.

After the weekend sweep, the Sox now have a three game advantage in the league as the Sox continue to try and fight off the Yankees before the All Star break.

The Red Sox clicked on all cylinders in beating the Yanks as pitching, hitting and defense were all solid.
If you’re a Yankees fan, grab some Yankees tickets this season as they try to cut back into Boston’s lead.

The biggest rivalry in all of sports has been very lopsided this year, as the Red Sox have continued to dominate the Yankees and have won every contest this year against their AL East rivals to improve to 7-0 on the season against the Yankees. But more importantly for the Red Sox, the win snapped a first place tie in the division – one that the Yankees had scratched and clawed for in the past 4 weeks – giving the Sox a division lead.

One of the great stories on the season for the Sox is knuckleballer Tim Wakefield, who is notoriously hit-or-miss who and who now has his team-leading 8th win of the season while also picking up his 8th quality start.

The Yankees have eleven more chances to upset the Red Sox this season, starting tomorrow night when C.C. Sabathia toes the rubber against Brad Penny. Grab some, Sox-Yankees tickets today – you never know what’s going to happen next.

The greatest and most intense rivalry in all of sports is about to be renewed, but before the New York Yankees venture into Boston tomorrow, they had to dismiss the troubled Rays of Tampa Bay.

The Yankees left in style slamming four home runs in a 5-3 victory in Yankee Stadium. Tampa Bay starting pitcher Andy Sonnanstine was on the wrong end of all four of those homers. Johnny Damon’s solo shot put the Yankees up in the sixth after Mark Teixeira’s bomb in the first inning tied it at 1-1.

Nick Swisher’s shot in the second tied the game once again in the second at 2-2, after the Yankees gave up early runs. Derek Jeter also piled on in the eighth inning with a solos shot to lead off that inning.

The New Yankee Stadium has now seen over 100 home runs in only 29 games and is becoming one of the MLB’s premier hitter’s parks. Grab some New York Yankees tickets and try for yourself to try and shag some homers.

The Yankees players and coaches were quick to admonish Texas pitcher Scott Feldman on Wednesday for throwing a phenomenal game and keeping the Yankee offense at bay, while the Rangers offense did their job and left with the 4-2 win. Feldman picked up his 5th win of the season and is becoming the ace of the staff.

Feldman gave up six hits in six innings to the Yankees (mostly in his final inning) as the Yankees baserunners were just too spread out to cause any real damage.

With one month to go before the All-Star break, both teams sit atop their divisions, with the Yankees deadlocked with Red Sox in the East. The Rangers lead the AL West by four and a half games over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

The AL East is already shaping up to be fight. Grab some Yankees tickets and join the show.
