More ups than downs |
| After all the hype of the reunion of Joba Chamberlain and Aubrey Huff, it amounted to nothing after Chamberlain was knocked out of the game by an Adam Jones line drive last night. Chamberlain's injury, for however long it lasts, might just be balanced out by the return of Wang, who will be working out of the bullpen for the time being. And when everything is said and done, the Yanks have a 9-game winning streak. Labels: Injuries, Joba, Pitching, Wang |

Because two just isn't enough |
What could the Yanks do to top the last two games which abruptly ended with a walk-off single and a walk-off homer? Follow up with another walk-off homer. Thank you, Johnny Damon. It's been a long time (37 seasons to be exact) since the Yanks won three games in a row with walk-off hits. The new Yankee Stadium may just have brought the old ghosts with it.
And in other good news, Wang is apparently making progress in AAA.Labels: Damon, Making history, walk-off, Wang, Winning |

The kids pick up some slack |
| With CC and Wang getting hit hard so far this season, and even AJ giving up 8 runs during his last start against Boston, the Yankees had to look to their youth for some help. Following yesterday's solid outing by Phil Hughes (6 IP, 2 H, 2 BB, 6 K, 0 R), the New York enjoyed watching Joba post some equally impressive numbers (7 IP, 3 H, 3 BB, 6 K, 1 R) of his own. Now if only they can keep this up. Labels: Burnett, CC, Hughes, Joba, Pitching, Wang |

Pitching woes |
| The Yanks followed up Friday night's embarrassing collapse with another disaster last night. AJ Burnett went from virtually unhittable to out-of-control at some point while sitting on the bench during the top of the 4th inning. Burnett had been the one bright spot in the starting rotation before yesterday's game, but now there is not one starter who has been consistently good since the beginning of the season. As if there was not already enough strain on pitching, Brian Bruney was placed on the DL for two weeks. He believes his elbow strain might be due to too much throwing in the bullpen in between appearances. Since Wang is on the DL, he will be replaced by Phil Hughes, who is 3 - 0 with a 1.86 ERA in three starts at Scranton/Wilkes Barre. In 19 1/3 innings, he has struck out 19 and walked only 3. Hopefully, with less pressure on Hughes, he will perform better than last year (0 - 4, 6.62 ERA). Labels: Bruney, Burnett, Hughes, Injuries, Pitching, Wang |

Injury updates: Wang, Ransom, Bruney, A-Rod |
Today, Chien-Ming Wang joined A-Rod and Nady on the DL after being demolished in all three of his starts so far this season and pitching an extended spring training game down in Tampa on Thursday. He has been diagnosed with weakness in the abductor muscles of both hips and is expected to go through 10 - 14 days of physical therapy. When asked what happens after that, Brian Cashman answered the question with another question: Who knows?
A-Rod is still down in Tampa recovering from hip surgery and if the recent text messages he has been sending are worth anything, he is well on his way to recovery. He is still scheduled to return to the major league roster on May 15, and could begin playing live minor league games as soon as a week from now. In the meantime, the Yanks will have to find another replacement for him until he returns. Cody Ransom hurt his right quad last night while attempting to steal second and will be put on the 15-day disabled list.
Finally, Brian Bruney has a questionable right elbow and is having it looked at.Labels: A-Rod, Bruney, Injuries, Ransom, Wang |

Pitching injuries |
| Am I the only one who thinks that the fact that all nine of the Yankees who are on the DL are pitchers? With Wang joining the list last week, the need for solid pitching became all the more important this weekend. This meant that today's injury to Farnsworth's hand was disheartening until it became apparent that it probably won't put him on the DL. Just the same, Yankee fans will be holding their breath until he proves that he can pitch without this latest injury effecting him. What's most frustrating is that this team appears to have real potential make a run at their 27th championship this year. For the first time in several years, they have a pitching staff which gives its fans reason to believe in them. It's not unreasonable to picture a 1-2-3 combo of Chamberlain, Wang and Pettitte leading the team through the playoffs. While their on-again, off-again offense only managed to squeek out 6 runs in 3 games against the Reds this weekend, they have been fairly consistent in recent days and are showing depth through almost all of their lineup. However, the reality of their injuries means that it will be difficult to imagine a successful playoff run without Wang returning and pitching as well as he was before he got hurt. The success of the 2008 season rests on the ability of their pitching staff to recover and return to their previous performance levels. Otherwise, it will just be another year of disappointment.

In control of their own destiny |
| The Yankees now have nobody else to blame if they do not win a ring this year. After today's defeat of Boston, and Seattle's loss, the Yanks are now tied for the American League wild-card and are still not ready to concede the division to Boston. In other words, if they don't make the playoffs, they have nowhere to look but in the mirror, and if they get there, their chances are at least as good as anyone's. The Yanks will face the Mariners at the Stadium this weekend in a series which may very well send one of the two teams on a trajectory for a clinch of the wild-card. Roger Clemens, who has had an inconsistent year, provided the Yanks a solid outing in a key game. He took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and finished with six innings, two hits and one earned run. A-Rod got his 44th homer and Mo got his 22nd save. Tomorrow's game has Wang against Shilling. In his last start, Wang threw 8 innings, giving up 5 hits, 2 walks and 1 run and striking out 6. I am confident he can get his 16th win tomorrow. Boston has Schilling on the mound against Wang. Curt has had his share of success against the Yanks in his career. However, this year in three appearances against New York, Schilling has pitched 18 innings, giving up 15 runs including 6 home runs. It should be fun.

The good and the bad |
The good news as that the night after the Yankees suffered a heartbreaking loss in the bottom of the 11th inning after a rain delay caused the game to go well past 3am, they needed Chien-Ming Wang, who has struggled as of late, to deliver and that's exactly what he did. The Yanks needed him to eat up a lot of innings and keep the Tigers' bats at bay, and he succeeded in both. In eight innings, he gave up one earned run, two walks and five hits. He will be a critical piece to any run New York makes for the playoffs and any postseason success they wish to have. Their ace is back, for now.
The bad news is that not only did Boston win, but Tim Wakefield is now tied for the most winningest pitcher in the Major Leagues with sixteen. And who is he tied with? His teammate Josh Beckett. yes, Boston has the top two pitchers in the majors according to wins. This is going to be a problem, not only when it comes to edging them out to win the division, but also during the postseason.Labels: Boston, Pitching, Wang |
