AL East

Life is good right now and if the Mets can win 1 more game against the hated Yankees tonight life will be a bit better. Sporting life that is. The Mets, who have been most horrible this year are taking out their frustrations on the hated Yankees and for this Met fan it is oooh so enjoyable...

Entering last weekend, the New York Yankees sat atop the American League East to begin a crucial stretch in this young 2013 season, with 12 of their next 16 games against all 4 divisional foes.

So with just 5 games of separation from Boston, Tamp

Going into the 2013 MLB season, I would have called you crazy if you said the older free agents signed during the off-season would help carry the Yankees to a good start and maintain relevancy in the American League East. However, that has been exactly the case, and this afternoon was another perfect example of that.

Tuesday night was supposed to be a grand return of Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte, but Mother Nature had other plans, forcing last night's game to be rescheduled for this afternoon. Despite the change of schedule, Pettitte still tossed 75 pitches in five shutout innings, leading the Yankees to a 4-2 victory over the Blue Jays. This afternoon's victory in Game One of a day-night doubleheader gave th

As we all know the Yankees have been on a bit of a slide as of late. Just a few short weeks ago the Bombers were well ahead of the pack in the AL East up 10 games. After last nights 4-3 loss to the Red Sox the Yankees are back tied with the Baltimore Orioles for first place...

Back in mid-July, the New York Yankees had a 10-game lead on the Baltimore Orioles and the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League East. Now, with just twenty-five games remaining in the 2012 regular season, the Yankees and Orioles are tied for the lead, with the Rays only two games behind...

The knee jerk answer is no, nothing is worse than being the only team in MLB history to blow a 3-0 lead in a playoff series, but as far as the regular season goes: yes we are! The latest loss being a 5-2 defeat in Tampa on Wednesday night...

Back on July 18, the Yankees had a 10-game lead over the Baltimore Orioles. And now, entering tonight's game in Tampa Bay, the Yankees are only one game ahead of the Orioles. They've lost nine of their last 13 games, while batting around ...
