Yankee Stadium

After taking two of three from Baltimore, the Yankees' 10-game home stand continues with a four-game set against Kansas City.  Here is a series preview:

The Birds and Yanks will play three at Yankee Stadium after playing the same amount last weekend at Camden Yards, a series Baltimore swept.  What will happen in this one?  Here is a series preview.

It was a rubber-match game and anything can happen in rubber-match games.  Hell, anything can happen in baseball, right John Sterling?  Including a very good pitching performance.  Or, a very good pitching performance and an excellent one.

The Yanks and Rays split four games Thursday-Sunday in the Bronx.  Here are five things that defined the series:

Picking greatest Yankees in any category is like splitting hairs or flipping a coin or picking the most ripe apple in the bunch during the months of September and October in the Northeast.  How about the most beloved Yankee of all-time?  Just as tough as the next question when regarding the pinstripes, but I have narrowed it (I think) down to a Top 5.  Enjoy.

The Dodgers enter Yankee Stadium for a two-game set with the Yanks.  The storylines with this mini-series are endless.  The 1950's World Series battles when both clubs were in New York, Don Mattingly returning to the Bronx and a kid named Yasiel Puig.  Here is a series preview:

"The beers at Yankee Stadium are so out of control."  "Who can afford that?"  That is often one of my favorite questions.  And it is truly a laughable one.

True skateboard freaks will skate over anything, even the baseball cathedral that is Yankee Stadium. But if they can look this good doing it, what's the harm, grandpa? Watch the video above to see some major league shredding. Skaters Brandon Westgate, Dave Willis and Chaz Ortiz of skateboard and apparel-maker Zoo York took over Yankee Stadium recently and filmed themselves skating on benches, rail

Old rivals meet again.  This is really the rivalry though, not that silly Yankees-Mets thing.  Speaking of which, the Yanks come into the series with Boston in the Bronx tumbling down a hill, having lost four straight to the Mets.  Boston, meanwhile, comes off a series split with Phildelphia.  Here is a Boston-New York series preview.

Derek Jeter has begun at least one baseball activity, throwing, at Yankee Stadium.  The Yankee captain isn't allowed to do anything else until he gets a CT scan sometime in the next week and a half.

The Subway Series is here again.  This of course is more for the fans and the media, but there are some terrific New York baseball storylines to this one.  First thing is first.  The Yanks come fresh off an impressive series win in Tampa Bay, where they seem to never win games. The Mets continue to be a disaster, losing a series to Atlanta and getting no consistent hitting or depth in the starting
