Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees has made history… again. Alex Rodriguez came off of the disabled list on Sunday, and since then the Yankees have lost two games in a row. Despite the Yankees’ 4-3 loss to the Orioles on Sunday, A-Rod still managed to shine.

In his first game since returning with a calf injury the slugger drove in two runs, and became the first player in the history of Major League Baseball to have 14 seasons of 100 or more RBI. This accomplishment was also the 13th season in a row that he was able to reach 100 RBI, which ties him for the longest streak ever with baseball greats Lou Gehrig and Jimmie Foxx.

In order to be the  current record holder he had to break a tie with Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Jimmie Foxx, which he was clearly successful at doing.

During Rodriguez’s second game since coming off the DL, he tied the game in the fourth inning with his 605th career home run, and 22nd of the season.

A-Rod and the New York Yankees will play their next game on Friday, September 10, 2010 in Texas against the Rangers.

On Sunday the New York Yankees beat the Chicago White Sox 2-1 with the help of a major effort put forth by rookie pitcher Ivan Nova. During the game he allowed five hits and walked one player, and in 5-2/3 innings the rookie pitcher only allowed one run. Nova was able to strike out seven batters from the White Sox as he reeled in his first win.

Sunday’s game was Nova’s first major league victory, but this was the second strong showing he’s had this season. Also, credit must be given to Ivan for holding his own against a team that managed to score nine runs in the first two games of the series. On Sunday Nova was not fazed by how well the White Sox were doing in the series, and he handled Chicago’s lineup like a veteran.

The Yankees are now heading back to New York after finishing their roadtrip 3-3, and recording their 80th victory while being the first team in the MLB to do so. Sundays win was more than just a win for the Yankees because it also made them closer to making first place in the American League East theirs.

The New York Yankees will play their next game at Yankee stadium against the Oakland Athletics on Monday, August 30, 2010.

It seems as though everything went right for the New York Yankees on Sunday at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Despite the rainy weather, the Yankees were able to beat the Seattle Mariners 10-0.

The Yankees certainly won for a reason. The team was working hard together to stop the Mariners and ensure a win. Even without Alex Rodriguez the team was able to work together and make up for the loss. Due to a strained left calf A-Rod was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday. However the Yankees weren’t fazed, instead they looked to other team members to make up for the missing A-Rod.

Robinson Cano hit a career-high six home runs during the game one of which was a grand slam, bringing in three runs for the Yankees. Jorge Posada and Austin Kearns also scored home runs for the Yankees, and CC Sabathia lengthened his streak of wins at home to 15.

On Saturday night the New York Yankees pulled off an 8-3 win over the Kansas City Royals with a little help from Alex Rodriguez and the three homers he hit during the game.

Rodriguez is a master at home runs, as this was the 56th game where he was able to hit more than one homers in his 16-year career. This was the fourth time in his career that he was able to hit three homers in one game. With his four homers, he drove in five runs for the Yankees. That helped Rodriguez take over the RBI lead of the MLB with 97.

The home runs by A-Rod all traveled over 400 feet, and were picked on on by three different pitchers. In the sixth inning Rodriguez hit a home run, then in the seventh he hit a two-run shot. Then finally in the ninth inning of the game, A-Rod hit a two-run drive into left field that landed in the water fountains.

This season Alex Rodriguez has hit 21 home runs, and a total of 604 throughout his entire MLB career.

The New York Yankees will travel to Kansas City to play the Royals for their next game on Sunday, August 15, 2010.

After waiting nearly two weeks, Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees became the youngest person to ever hit 600 career home runs.

At just 35 years old, A-Rod joined the elite 600-home run club. The second youngest player to join the club was Babe Ruth in 1931 at 36 years old.

The exclusive group only has seven members including Barry Bonds with 762 homers, Hank Aaron with 755, Willie Mays at 660, Ken Griffey Jr. with 630, and Sammy Sosa with 609 home runs.

Rodriguez was struggling for some time to make the dream of a 600th home run become a reality. His last homer was on July 22, and since then he went 9 for 46. Out of any of the seven players to reach the 600 mark, Rodriguez had the longest stretch between numbers 599 and 600. Finally on Wednesday night he drove a pitch over the fence at center field, and it went straight into Monument Park.

It took A-Rod exactly three years to make the leap from 500 home runs to 600, and the Yankees and their fans definitely have awhile until they see A-Rod reaching the 700 milestone.

The New York Yankees will play their next game on Friday, August 6, 2010 at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx against the Boston Red Sox.

Last Thursday Alex Rodriguez hit his 599th career home run. Now, 10 days later he is waiting to knock his 600th one out of the park. Concerning to many fans, A-Rod is taking longer to reach the 600 mark than any of the six other players to do so. However, as long as the Yankees keep winning, Rodriguez is not worried about it.

Tonight at the Tropicana Field the Tampa Bay Rays will send Matt Garza to the mound to face off against Rodriguez and the Yankees. This will be the first time the Rays have sent him out against the Yankees since his no-hitter. With a 3.26 ERA, Garza is 1-3 lifetime against the Yankees

Out of nine meetings with Tampa Bay, the Yankees have one four of the games. Tonight the Yankees are hoping to beat the Rays in the battle for AL East dominance, and A-Rod may be looking for his 600th career home run. When Rodriguez joins the six other members of the 600-homer club, he will be the youngest player ever to reach that achievement.

The New York Yankees will play their next game at the Tropicana Field in Florida against the Tampa Bay Rays tonight.

On Tuesday night in Cleveland the New York Yankees suffered a 4-1 loss to rookie pitcher Josh Tomlin and the Indians. Tuesday was Tomlin’s major league debut, and he was able to dominate the Yankees. For the first seven innings Tomlin left the Yankees scoreless, and only allowed two hits.

Not even Alex Rodriguez could get a nice hit off of Tomlin. Surprisingly this was the fifth straight game that Rodriguez was unsuccessful in scoring a home run.

A-Rod had the perfect opportunity to make it happen in the ninth inning where he would have represented the tying run. However, Chris Perez was not having that. Instead, he ended the game with a grounder, and an unfortunate loss for the Yankees.

Rodriguez has not been able to hit a home run in 21 at bats. This year A-Rod has hit 16 homers in 358 at bats, which means he averages one homer every 22.3 at-bats. Based on this pace, Rodriguez is due to hit one out of the park during Wednesday’s game against the Indians… at least he and the Yankees are hoping that’s the case.

The New York Yankees are preparing for their next game in Cleveland, Ohio against the Indians on Wednesday July 28, 2010.

The New York Yankees have been faced with many concerns this past week, and the recent injury to their starting pitcher does not help. Andy Pettitte is suffering from a grade one tear to his left hamstring which will leave him out of the starting rotation for awhile. Pettitte will be missing up to six starts, while Sergio Mitre will attempt to take his spot in the rotation.

Last year Mitre was faced with a similar situation, but did not perform that great. In the nine games he started, he had a 3-3 record and a 7.16 ERA. However Mitre was just coming back from Tommy John surgery, which normally would pose as a problem for pitchers returning to the game. Also, he pitched so well in spring training that people though he would be able to win the number five spot in the Yankees’ lineup.

Since 2003 Mitre has pitched for 388 innings, and in those innings he allowed 232 runs, 47 homers, walked 130 batters, and struck out a promising 237 batters. In 2007 Mitre pitched his first and only full season since 2003. His ERA was a career best that year as he posted a 4.65.

Hopefully Mitre will be able to put the past aside as the Yankees gear up for a quick two games against the Angels in the Bronx. The New York Yankees will play their next game at Yankee Stadium against the LA Angels of Anaheim on Tuesday, July 20, 2010.

Alex Rodriguez and Joe Torre have apparently settled their differences. Rodriguez’s former New York Yankees manager and Rodriguez himself seemed to have ended their beef before Sunday nights game. The game lasted 10 innings, but in the end the New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-6. The Yankees won two games out of the three in the series.

The feud stems from when Torre wrote his book in 2007 that made critical comments about Rodriguez. Torre wrote “When it comes to a key situation, he can’t get himself to concern himself with getting the job done, instead of how it looks.”

A-Rod decided to bury the hatchet and approached Torre on Sunday, shaking his hand and speaking to him for almost a minute. Rodriguez told the New York Daily News that he thought it would be a mature move if he went over to talk to him. He said, “I felt in my heart it was important to not let things linger.”

The New York Yankees will host their next game against the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday, June 30, 2010.

The New York Yankees just recently ended  a four-game series against the Cleveland Indians. The Yankees opened the series with a 8-2 win over the Indians.

The Yankees achieved this forceful win with lots of help from Robinson Cano, who hit a grand slam to score 4 points for the Yankees. The bases were loaded with a single, a double, and walk which set up Cano’s grand slam that he hit on his first pitch. This was Cano’s third grand slam in his career.

Another notable player in the series opener was right handed pitcher Phil Hughes. He played well for seven innings, only giving up two runs. He struck out the first five players of the game, and had a total of eight strike outs by the end of the night.

New York went on to win three out of the four games against Celeveland, but they were all high scoring games. Both teams put up a great fight in all four of the games, but the Yankees clearly came out the winner.

The New York Yankees will play their next game against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday, June 1, 2010.

The center fielder for the New York Yankees will begin a rehab stint in the minor leagues.

On May 1 Granderson suffered from a strain of the groin during the Yankees’ 7-6 loss against the White Sox. The injury occurred while he was running from first to third base in the sixth inning. He has missed 18 games since then, but the Yankees are hoping he heals by this weekend.

Curtis Granderson will start his rehab assignment on Saturday where he will be the designated hitter. The plan for the rest of the five-game stint consists of him alternating positions where Sunday he will play outfield, Wednesday he will be the DH again, back to the outfield on Tuesday with a day off on Wednesday. On Thursday, after his off day he will be playing in the first game of a double header.

The rehab assignment is designed to get Curtis back to the Yankees for their weekend series against the Cleveland Indians in the Bronx.

The New York Yankees will begin their next three game series on Tuesday, May 25 against the Twins in Minnesota before Granderson returns to the team on Saturday.

Nick Johnson, designated hitter for the New York Yankees, endured surgery on his right wrist on Tuesday. On Saturday the general manager of the Yankees mentioned that Johnson might have been in need of surgery, and sure enough on Tuesday he had his wrist operated on.

After the Yankees’ game on May 7 at Fenway Park, Johnson was experiencing soreness in his right wrist. He received a cortisone shot after the game, and the Yankees waited to see if the shot would work.

After the cortisone did not work, Johnson decided to have the surgery. Johnson was diagnosed with an inflamed tendon, and the surgery was to remove the inflamed tissue from his right wrist.

The 31-year old was told that he will need to rest for a minimum of four to six weeks before returning to the field. Joe Girardi, the Yankees’ manager mentioned that the surgery “is not a quick fix,” and that he is not expecting Johnson to return until late in the summer.

The New York Yankees will play their next game without Nick Johnson as the designated hitter against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday, May 20, 2010.

According to a study done last week, the players of New York Yankees are the highest paid players in a global sport in the world. The “Review of Global Sports Salaries” study produced their figures in pounds, and has the Yankees players listed at an average salary of 4.7 million pounds, which is about $7 million.

The team with the second highest paid players is the Real Madrid soccer team of Spain at 4.2 million pounds or $6.3 million. The third highest paid players are the Barcelona soccer team, while the fourth is the Premier League club Chelsea. The rest of top 10 is completed with all teams from the NBA including the Dallas Mavericks, LA Lakers, and the number 10 New York Knicks.

The salaries for the Yankees are of the starters, and do not include any commercial deals with major companies that they may have. The figures were found from the 2009 season, as are the six NBA teams on the top ten, but the soccer club teams figures’ are from 2008.

Phil Hughes has officially been chosen as the New York Yankees’ fifth starter. Manager Joe Giardi and his coaching staff finalized the decision on Wednesday. Giardi then made the announcement on Thursday that revealed the solution to the biggest decision for the Yankees’ of the spring.

Last season Hughes pitched in 51 games of which he started in seven. The 23-year-old posted an ERA of 3.03 with an 8-3 record for the season. During spring training for this year he did give up five home runs, but otherwise he was able to keep runners off base pretty well.

The announcement put an end to a competition between Phil Hughes, Alfredo Aceves, Joba Chamberlain, Sergio Mitre, and Chad Gaudin that lasted a total of six weeks. This was considered a big set back for Chamberlin who was passed up for the number five spot. Gaudin was the final candidate in the running for the number five slot in the Yankees rotation, but was released on Thursday.

New York Yankees super stars, Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter, are due for new contracts after the 2010 baseball season. The Yankees will also have to handle the deal for manager Joe Giardi. However according to team policy their possible contract extensions will not be discussed until after this season.

Mariano Rivera is the greatest closer in the history of baseball. Throughout his career he has 502 saves, and he is only one out of two relievers who can say they have at least 500 saves. Also throughout his career has has a 2.29 ERA. Rivera had a great season in 2009 because he converted 39 out of 40 save chances with an ERA of 1.40. There is no doubt that he is an excellent asset to the Yankees. He makes strike outs, barely walks batters, and hardly ever lets extra-base hits occur.

Derek Jeter is also entering his final season of his 10-year contract with New York. He said he understood the team’s policy of not negotiating new contracts until the current deal is over. Nonetheless, Jeter has made it clear many of times that he wants to be a Yankee for life. “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This is the only organization I ever wanted to play for. It’s still the only organization I want to play for. I can’t say it enough times,” said Jeter.

The New York Yankees will have their opening day game on April 13, 2010 at Yankee Stadium against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter, and Joe Giardi are all entering the final year of their contracts, and their deals will not be negotiated until this season is over.

Baseball’s big 2010 Opening Day is less than one month away. Spring training is already underway in order to prepare the New York Yankees for their 2010 return to the field.

Opening Day is always a big event for every baseball team, but this year is particularly special for the Yankees. This is the first home game after winning last years’ World Series Championship. This season also marks the final season of Derek Jeter’s contract with New York.

Fans of the Yankees are hoping on back to back World Series Titles, and in early February the co-chairman of the Yankees spoke highly of their chances. Hank Steinbrenner said this strong sense of belief came from the changes to the roster in the offseason.

The New York Yankees baseball franchise has been providing fans with amazing ball games since 1923. With 27 World Series Championships to their name, the Yankees are now known as the most successful team in baseball history.

The New York Yankees will have their opening day game on April 13, 2010 at Yankee Stadium against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

This season, Derek Jeter will be entering his final year of his contract with the New York Yankees. At the end of this season Derek Jeter and the Yankees will be getting together in order to negotiate a new contract. However, the negotiation might begin to become difficult because of a few reasons.

There are two main questions on everyone’s mind. One, as Derek Jeter becomes older, and his defensive skills start to take a dive, will the Yankees think about moving him from his shortstop position? And two, will Jeter urge to be paid as much as Alex Rodriguez? Both of these questions could potentially lead to problems as the contract is negotiated at the end of the 2010 season.

Although these may lead to difficulties, one thing is for sure. Derek Jeter has made it extremely clear that he would remain a Yankee for life. The Yankees are lucky to have a player such as Jeter who is as team oriented as he is.

The New York Yankees won their 27th World Series title this past season, and left pitcher Andy Pettitte to decide if he wanted to leave the MLB with a bang by retiring as a World Series champ. Although Pettitte was taking that into consideration, he decided that he was not quite ready to say good-bye to the game just yet.

On Friday Andy Pettitte spoke about retiring and said, “I want to make sure that I don’t go home and miss it, that it’s killing me not to be here. When I do it, I want to be done with it. I don’t think it would be fair to my family to say that I’m done and then pull the rug out from underneath them. I want to make sure I’ve fully exhausted myself of this.” Neither the Yankees, nor Andy Pettitte himself see an end, which led them to agree that his return will only be a yearly review.

Last season before the Yankees won the American League East the 37-year-old left hander went 14-8 and only gave up an average of 4.16 runs per game. As the postseason ended, he earned his fifth World Series ring, while finishing the postseason going 4-0 with a 3.52 ERA. Including each clincher in the postseason of 2009, Pettitte has 229 wins under his belt. Pettitte is key for the Yankees whenever they are under pressure.

The New York Yankees co-chairman, Hank Steinbrenner, believes that the Yankees may be on their way to another World Series Championship this year. In Tampa, Florida on Thursday Steinbrenner spoke very highly of the Yankees’ general manager, Brian Chashman, and the players he added to the team during the offseason. He gained a strong sense of belief in the Yankees after they added outfielder Curtis Granderson and pitcher Javier Vazquez to their roster.

Center fielder, Curtis Granderson was obtained from the Detroit Tigers. He was a 2009 American League All-Star, and will be playing at center field where Melky Cabrera once played. Cabrera was sent to the Braves in the trade made by Brian Cashman, which included the Yankees aqcuiring Javier Vazquez.

From the Atlanta Braves, Javier Vazquez joined the team and was added to the pitching rotation for the Yankees which includes CC Sabathia, Andy Pettitte, A.J. Burnett, and a fifth starter who has not been decided yet. New York is hoping that Vazquez will keep them from needing to rely on a three-man rotation like they needed to in the postseason and the World Series.

The Yankees also made other additions during the off season. They added outfielder Randy Winn, and designated hitter Nick Johnson, but also said goodbye to some great players such as Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon.

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 traded outfielder Melky Cabrera on Tuesday for Javier Vazquez from the Atlanta Braves. Vazquez, 33 will join the Yankees pitching rotation which includes some of the best such as Andy Pettitte, CC Sabathia, and A.J. Burnett.

Javier Vazquez has been a NY Yankee before. He threw his last pitch playing with the Yankees during their Game 7 loss of the AL Championship series to the Boston Red Sox in 2004. He gave up 2 homers, one of which included a grand slam by Johnny Damon.

In 2004 while pitching for New York, Vazquez had a 14-10 record and a 4.91 ERA. Last season he was ranked 2nd in the National League last season with a 15-10 record. He had 238 strikeouts, and with 2.87, he was ranked 6th in ERA.

The current World Series Champs are making other small adjustments to their roster in hopes of winning back-to-back World Series Championships. Among these changes are a few trades of left and right-handers. The Yankees are acquiring right-hander Boone Logan, and are sending left-hander Mike Dunn to the Atlanta Braves.

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.

The New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 on Wednesday night at Angel Stadium. This was unfamiliar territory to the Yankees, as this was the first time since May 2004 that they went to the Angels’ house and beat them in a series. In 2002 and 2005 the New York Yankees were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Angels. After losing 18 of their last 23 games at Angel Stadium, the Yankees won back-to-back games this week.

The Yankees secured their spot in the playoffs with a little help from their pitchers.

A.J. Burnett had 11 strikeouts on Wednesday night, which is only 1 shy of matching his season high. He continues to make doubts about his readiness to pitch disappear by only allowing 3 runs over his last 12 2/3 innings pitched. He only allowed 7 hits and 2 runs before leaving Wednesday’s game in the sixth inning.

It took over a year for Yankees’ pitcher Ian Kennedy to come back to a major league pitching mound after surgery to remove an aneurysm below his right biceps. Ironically enough the last place he pitched for the Yankees was at Angel Stadium. He was a little rusty, as he loaded the bases by walking two batters and hitting another in the eighth inning.

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.

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.

You could be there when Derek Jeter breaks Lou Gherig’s record. Grab some New York Yankees tickets now!

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.

The New York Yankees have their next game against the White Sox Sunday August 30. Grab some New York Yankees tickets now!

After losing Saturday night’s game to the Boston Red  Sox 14-1, the New York Yankees redeemed themselves during Sunday night’s game at Fenway Park. Although the New York Yankees lost their first eight games to their rivals, they were able to increase their lead in the American League East over the Boston Red Sox by seven games.

The lead off batter, Derek Jeter, started the game off with a homer, paving the way for the New York Yankees victory. This was Jeter’s twenty first home run of the season for the New York Yankees. Jeter’s incredible home run was his 2,700 career hit, and that leaves him in second place in career hits for the New York Yankees.

The New York Yankees hit a total of five glorious home runs off of Boston’s pitcher, Josh Beckett. For the second time this serious, Hideki Matsui hit two homers in one game. Alex Rodriquez and Robinson Cano also produced home runs for the New York Yankees, making the team unstoppable!

The New York Yankees seem to be on point, as the Red Sox seem to be in temporary discomposure. The rivals will meet again in New York on Friday, September 25. Grab some New York Yankees tickets to this, or any other game, now!

With the All Star Game only one week away, the Yankees are trying hard to overtake the Red Sox before the symbolic mid-season break. Such an undertaking would potentially give a huge boost to the Yankees who have been just behind Boston for most of the season.

On Tuesday, the Minnesota Twins tried to stand in the way of the streaking Yankees while trying to stay in striking distance in their own division. But the Yankees dismantled the Twins 10-2 behind clutch performances by Mark Teixeira and CC Sabathia.

Sabathia pitched seven innings, while only allowing 3 hits, while Tex went a game-high 4 for 6.

The Yankees have only a few more changes to grab the last game on the Red Sox before the break, but regardless of the standings at the AllStar break, the Yankees are making mid season waves. Grab some Yankees tickets and enjoy!

After a very mediocre 2008, the New York Jets are looking to bounce back in the tough AFC East in the 2009 season. Eric Mangini was replaced as head coach by Ravens assistant Rex Ryan – and Ryan is looking to put the Jets back on the map in 2009 by building on their defense and creating a more powerful offense.

No official word yet on whether Brett Favre will return to be a part of that offense, but all signs at this point are leaning towards Favre’s retirement before the ’09 season. Nevertheless the Jets do have some key returners on offense, including RB Thomas Jones and WR Laverneus Coles.

The defense will look to replace only a few key players as they look to contend once again for the AFC East. The Jets are sure to be exciting in 2009, so buy your Jets season tickets today and enjoy the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!

After two devastating losses earlier this week to the Orioles under the pitching leadership of Rasner and Hawkins, Pettitte and Mussina redeemed their team, inspiring hope to their New York ticket buying fans. Pettitte led the Yankees to a a 4-2 win over the Orioles on Wednesday. And Mussina helped boost the Yankees into a 6-5 win over the Twins on Friday.

Pettitte was well matched against the Baltimore. He has a 23-6 career record against the Orioles, which turned out to be exactly what the Yankees needed in a series that left them down 2 games. He only allowed two runs through his six innings.

Pettitte made a game winning play against Brian Roberts. After his third hit of the night, a one-out double, Roberts was eying third base. While pitching to Melvin Mora, Pettitte shot the ball to second, catching the runner off base and out.

Mussina is proving himself a valuable starter this year with 8 wins. What’s impressive about Mussina is his ability to not get rattled by early errors. Everyone makes mistakes. But great players learn to shake it off and come back tough.

He showed this skill Friday against the Twin.  Allowing a major rally by Minnesota in the beginning of the game, he changed up his strategy and held the Twins scoreless for 5 innings.  This allowed his teammates, led by Bobby Abreu to score 6 runs, winning the game.

Tuesday night was a time for Yankee hitters, Bobby Abreu and Johnny Damon. Wednesday night was an evening for Mike Mussina. Between the two games, the Yankees managed two wins against the Chicago White Sox, a team with a lot of hopes this year, hopes that seem to be pipe dreams thanks to a strong performance from the New York team.

On Tuesday, Abreu hit a grand slam in the seventh inning. Johnny Damon also had a great night with a three run play in the eighth to solidify the win.

The Daily News quotes Damon about the two non-superstar’s performances:

“When you have superstars like Jeter, A-Rod, Posada, those guys are going to get most of the attention. That’s all right with Bobby and me, because we can just lay in the weeds and do our thing.”

Then there’s Mike Mussina on Wednesday, playing his best game of the season. This marvelous performance came in response to some harsh criticism from Hank Steinbrenner. He held the Sox to two runs and four hits in over seven innings.

Between the two, the Yankees are showing themselves capable of winning games against good teams. It gets one excited about buying more tickets to more Yankees games this season.
