Add Joba Chamberlain to the loooong list of injured and disabled Yankees. The Yanks announce on their day off before a series with the Oakland A's starting Friday at the stadium, that Chamberlain is out with an oblique strain. Chamberlain was placed on the 15 day DL which was made retroactive to April 28th, meaning he can return on May 13th...

Talk all day long about the 2013 replacement players in pinstripes.  Talk about general manager Brian Cashman taking chances.  Talk about the starting pitching being good enough in spots.  Talk about whatever you'd like as the main reason for the Yankees' demise not quite happening just yet like some thought.  The real talk is the leadership and presence of Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter and Andy Pet

Since 1996, the face of the most famous American sports team has been one man.  The shortstop.  The eventual captain.  #2.  The future Hall of Famer.  Derek Sanderson Jeter.  2013 seems like such a strange year without him.

And the bad news continues with the Yankee captain.  Derek Jeter had a CT scan of his injured ankle and it revealed a small crack.  "We're looking at, in terms of speculation when Derek Jeter will be back with us, sometime after the All-Star break," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told ESPNNewYork.com.

Bernie Williams and Jorge Posada, two core Yankee players from the Joe Torre era, are long gone.  Mariano Rivera, another quiet leader by example, is retiring after this season.  Andy Pettitte is near the end.  And the Yankee captain, Derek Jeter, won't be back in the lineup until who knows when and is nearing 40.  Leadership used to be a huge piece of the Yankees' winning puzzle.  That leadership

It's obvious that the Yankees will immediately insert Derek Jeter as the shortstop when he returns from a broken ankle, and immediately insert Mark Teixeira as the first baseman when Tex returns from his wrist issue and immediately insert Curtis Granderson as the...hang on for just a minute.

Derek Jeter said he would be ready for Opening Day.  But with his right ankle pretty much shattering during last year's playoffs, that was a long shot, even for DJ.  But what is the realistic timetable now?

The walking wounded continue to pile up for Joe Girardi and his Yankees. So much so the team may be forced to make a deal in the coming days, ahead of the April 1st opener against the Boston Red Sox. Reports from the left coast claim the Yankees and Angels are talking trade and the target of the Yanks desire could be outfielder Vernon Wells...

New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter was scratched from the lineup for today's Spring Training game against the Philadelphia Phillies, saying he was experiencing some discomfort in the area surrounding his surgically-repaired ankle. Do you think this is a big deal, a small deal or no deal at all...

While I don't root for the Yankees, I do enjoy and support greatness. I very much love a clean player who hustles, cares, doesn't take steroids, and loves to play the game all the while staying out of trouble. No, I don't root for the Yankees but I do root for Derek Jeter, the anti-Alex Rodriguez and, in my opinion, the greatest shortstop in baseball history...

The latest in the Alex Rodriguez saga is his hip surgery. So exactly why did the epic waste of cash put off major surgery until December? Yeah, because it is time finally for every Yankee fan to understand he is playing you and a fraud! Let's talk about Alex the steroid cheat, who might I remind Yankee fans not only is a steroid cheat but a liar, a thief and a total failure as a Yankee... Read Mor
