A Cloud For Every Silver Lining by Larry Mahnken
Bobby Abreu has been one of the most underrated players in baseball for years. Despite consistently being one of the best hitters in the National League, he's only made two All-Star Games, though his appearance in the 2005 Home Run Derby brought him to national prominence.

Yanks get Lidle! by SG
The Yankees beat Tampa Bay today 4-2 behind two homers by Johnny Damon, seven good innings by Mike Mussina, and good relief by Kyle Farnsworth and Mariano Rivera.

Messin' with Texas Thrice by SG
As you can probably tell, I need a headline writer. The Yankees edged the Rangers 8-7 last night in an emotional rollercoaster of a game.

Messin' with Texas Again by SG
The Yankees beat Texas again last night, 7-4 in large part thanks to Bernie Williams's "platoon" partner Aaron Guiel. Moose got his 12th win, Scott Proctor pitched well again, and Mariano Rivera lowered his ERA back under 2 where it belongs.

Messin' with Texas by SG
After a disappointing series in Toronto, the Yankees rebounded nicely to top Texas 6-2 last night. Randy Johnson pitched pretty well, although his command wasn't great and he struggled to get through six innings. After the game Johnson admitted some residual effects from his 130 pitch outing last time, although it didn't seem to affect his fastball, which reached 96 mph. I don't think the occasional high pitch outing is a big deal for veteran pitchers, but I'd hope the Yankees try to be a bit more judicious regarding Johnson's workload over the next few starts just in case.

How to Play Like Crap by SG
It's not really a newsflash that the Yankees have stunk over their last five games. On July 18, after winning nine of ten games, the Yankees were .5 games out of first place and seemingly surging. Since then, they've lost four of five games, culminating in today's

When the Yankees scored three runs off Roy Halladay, and with Mike Mussina cruising, it looked like the Yanks were on their way to a big series opening win against the Blue Jays. Then came the bottom of the sixth. After a leadoff double by Aaron Hill followed by a groundout that advanced Hill to third, Mussina got Reed Johnson to ground to third. Alex Rodriguez made a bad decision, although Jorge Posada was signalling to Rodriguez to throw home. Instead of taking the sure out at first and preserving a 3-1 lead, Rodriguez tried to cut down the runner going home, threw wildly, and the Blue Jays took advantage, scoring four runs in the frame.

I Dub Thee Sir Sidney by SG
In a fun game reminiscent of the July 1, 2004 classic against Boston, the Yankees beat the Mariners 5-4 last night, when Melky Cabrera and his .385 SLG mark pulled a walkoff HR leading off the 11th.

Wang, Wang, Wang by SG
The Yankees beat the Mariners 4-2 last night behind yet another good start by Chien-Ming Wang. Wang was not as sharp as he has been recently and didn't get much help from Alex Rodriguez defensively but pitched seven strong innings and allowed only two runs, resting the bullpen for the eight innings they will have to pitch today when Sir Sidney gets bombed.

Top 10 ZR Defensive Seasons by a Yankee since 1987 by SG
Given my recent discovery of Zone Rating stats available back through 1987, I thought it'd be interesting to take a look back at some of the Yankee defenders of the past. Here are the top ten defensive seasons by a Yankee since 1987 in terms of pure runs saved over average, not adjusted for playing time, using the Zone Rating methodology I outlined a few days ago

Pitcher Run Values (and some other stuff) by SG
As promised, here are the run values of the Yankee pitchers so far in 2006. This is another math and statistics heavy post, so if you don't care for math, come back another day.

More on Run Values by SG
Mike K. requested a breakdown of the numbers I posted yesterday, and I think it's a good time to explain some of this stuff in a little more detail to those of you who may be a little less familiar with this sort of thing. If you're not a fan of math or stastics, I'd recommend skipping this entry and going to read the latest tripe from Mike Lupica or something.

Run Values of the 2006 Yankees by SG
I'm a little pressed for time today, so this will be a quick post. I've calculated the total contributions using offense, defense, and pitching to calculate the value of everyone who's played for the Yankees so far this season. Using these numbers, the most valuable Yankee so far has been......Jorge Posada.

July 7, 2006 - Assorted Crap by SG
The Yankees whipped up on Cleveland last night 10-4 in an impressive showing by Randy Johnson. Looking at Johnson's final line of 4 runs allowed in 7.2 innings does not convey just how dominant he was until he began to tire in the 7th. Johnson held a very good offensive team to just one hit over the first six innings, reaching 96 mph on his fastball (on the Cleveland broadcast which I would trust more than the YES gun just on general principle). Unfortunately he appeared to hit the wall in the 8th inning as he got singled to death before being pulled with two outs.

In-house starting pitcher options by SG
Given the obvious need to replace the struggling Shawn Chacon in the rotation and the discussion in the previous thread, here's a look at three options in AAA right now who should probably be considered.

Real Yankees Fans by Larry Mahnken
These douchebags boo A-Rod after he goes 0-4 -- two days and one game after he hits a come-from-behind walkoff to beat the Braves? IN A WIN? WHEN THEY'RE LEADING WITH RIVERA COMING INTO THE GAME?!?!?!
