With Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel already off the market, the Yankees made a move on Sunday to bolster their rotation by acquiring righty Brandon McCarthy from the Diamondbacks for Vidal Nuno. Saddled on the last-place team in the NL West, McCarthy owns just a 3-10 record with a 5...

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Brian Roberts hit a tiebreaking single in a three-run 12th inning after Brett Gardner's leaping catch at the left-field fence helped save the New York Yankees in a 6-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday. Pinch-hitter Alfonso Soriano and Brendan Ryan each added an RBI for the Yankees, who took the opener of a three-game interleague series for their third straight win...

Yankees TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — David Phelps boosted his bid to be the New York Yankees' fifth starter, pitching five scoreless innings Sunday during a 3-3 tie with the Tampa Bay Rays in 10 innings.

Alfonso Soriano is on another hot streak and at the same time making Brian Cashman look bad.  AGAIN.

You have to wonder if the Boston Red Sox are starting to look behind them. At the Rays. The Orioles. And now the Yankees. The Yanks pound Boston in game 1 of their weekend series in Boston 10-3 behind the pitching of Andy Pettitte and the power of Alfonso Soriano and newly acquired Mark Reynolds...

Alfonso Soriano has been on fire. Seven RBI on Wednesday night which followed six RBI on Tuesday night.  All against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at Yankee Stadium.

In a quirky two-game series in Los Angeles, the Yanks lost game one 3-2 thanks to a Mark Ellis walk-off hit off Shawn Kelley in the 9th inning, scoring Andre Either.

The Yankees offense was desperately in need of a jolt, and Derek Jeter delivered one in his first at bat since returning from the disabled list, belting a home run on the first pitch he saw to give the Bombers an early 1-0 lead. New York fed off of the magic of their Captain, riding the momentum of his return to a walk off 6-5 victory.

I remember "The Flip Play" by Derek Jeter in the 2001 MLB Playoffs against Oakland, the Yankee Stadium heroics during the 2001 World Series Scott Brosius hitting a big homer off Trevor Hoffman in Game 3 the 1998 World Series against the San Diego Padres and Carl Everett
