Yankees postgame
The postgame talk had more to do with Jorge Posada’s concussion symptoms than Nick Swisher’s two-run walk-off homer, which came one year to the day of his last walk-off homer. Joe Girardi was asked about life potentially without Posada, and he didn’t like the thought. “You’re...

Jorge Posada cleared to play
Just got this email from the Yankees… Tests performed this afternoon by a neurology specialist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital were negative. Physicians have cleared Posada for competitive play and he is listed as day-to-day. From The LoHud Yankees Blog. Please read the complete article and...
Posada injured
Joe Girardi revealed after the game that Jorge Posada took a foul tip Tuesday night and was unavailable for this game because of concussion symptoms. He left during the game to be examined by a neurologist at New York Presbyterian. There’s no word on the findings yet. Jason Bay and Justin...
Yankees vs. Orioles
Update, 1:37: Finally a hit for the Orioles off Ivan Nova with two outs in the third, Josh Bell’s single to center. Nova is a rather an intriguing prospect. Wonder if he will fit into the rotation next season. Update, 1:48: Finally a run off Brad Bergesen. Brett Gardner was out stretching for...
Yankees pregame
Brian Heyman here for Chad today at Yankee Stadium. So Phil Hughes is having his turn skipped. Dustin Moseley will start Sunday in Texas and Hughes will go again next Wednesday at Tampa Bay. It’s all about the innings limit. Hughes is at 155.1.  The speculation all along has been a limit in...
Rodriguez back in the Yankees lineup
I’ve been running errands on the day before flying out for a long road trip. Just now got to check twitter for the lineup. Sounds like bad news, but not entirely surprising news, on Alfredo Aceves and Damaso Marte who are expected to be out for the year. Gardner LF Jeter SS Teixeira DH Rodriguez...
Triple-A and Double-A playoffs begin tonight
The postseason in minor league baseball is kind of a strange thing. The best teams lose their best players to call-ups, and the rosters that earned spots in the postseason take on a completely different look for the most important games of the year. To be honest, I liked that about covering Triple-A....
Postgame notes: O’s get aggressive, get to Sabathia
The first five Orioles reached base tonight. Aside from one walk — when Felix Pie swung at two of the first three pitches — none of those at-bats lasted more than three pitches. “They were just aggressive, swinging early and it kind of took my aggressiveness away,” CC Sabathia said....
Sabathia struggles in bid for win No. 20
CC Sabathia had a chance to become the major’s first 20-game winner. Instead, he had his worst Yankee Stadium start in more than a year. Sabathia matched his season-high with six runs allowed, and took a 6-2 loss that was his first Yankee Stadium loss since July 2 of last season. He was facing...
