Good morning to all, here’s some of my thoughts on a few topics going on in the New York sports scene.

Yankees streaky play

The Yanks are 19-19 after 38 games. It’s amazing to see how this team goes into spurts of winning three, losing three, winning two, losing two. This …

Kei Igawa is NO GOOD! It’s that plain and simple. He gave up six runs on eleven hits in three-plus innings. I’m not sure if Ian Kennedy would’ve done any better but I’m going to say at least he would’ve lasted until the fifth inning.

I’m sure many Yankee fans share my frustration. Manager Joe Girardi …

Is it possible to see David Wells come back to Yankee Stadium one more time? According to the NY Post,Wells wants to come back and Hank Steinbrenner is a fan of his.

Wells went unsigned over the winter but continues to throw to his son’s high school baseball team to keep in shape.

“I’m in shape, …

After getting swept by the Detriot Tigers in the middle of the week, the Yankees responded with their own three game sweep of the Seattle Mariners this weekend.

“It’s been kind of streaky,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “I’d like to shorten one streak and lengthen another.”

The Yankee offense which was quiet for much of the …

These are NOT your New York Yankees playing out there. It can’t be. They look like the Yankees, but sure aren’t playing like them. If you saw last night’s 8-4 loss to the Detriot Tigers then you know what I’m talking about.

Ian Kennedy pitched well through the first 2.2 innings, then gave up four runs …

It appears that Alex Rodriguez aggravated the quadriceps strain in his right leg three days after returning to the lineup. He was pitch hit for in the eighth inning in Monday night’s win over the Tribe.

When asked about his status for tomorrow’s game against the Detroit Tigers, Rodriguez responded, …

The bullpen played a big part in the Yankees 5-2 win Monday night over the Cleveland Indians. The win gave the Yanks a series split and completed a ten-game road trip in which the Bombers went 5-5.

Mike Mussina (3-3) picked up the win as he pitched five innings allowing two runs …

Here are some news and notes for all you fantasy goers out there. I have all of these guys on my team, so if you have them on yours or are keeping an eye on these players, you should take note.

The Yanks and Indians finish up their four-game series tonight at Progressive Field. Mike Mussina, RHP (2-3, 4.94) goes against Aaron Laffey, LHP (NR).

Mussina is coming off his best start of the season last week in Chicago. He pitched seven strong innings while allowing two runs via the homerun. Moose is …

Last time the Yankees were in Cleveland was last October. It was the infamous “Bug Game.” A game the Yanks thought they were going to win but ended up losing, thus turning around the series in the Indians favor as they won the ALDS in four games.

The starter in the “Bug …

Kyle Farnsworth got hit with a three-game suspension yesterday by Major League Baseball. Why? Because he tried to hit Manny Ramirez after Manny hit two shots off of Mike Mussina that night. Last time I checked, that pitch didn’t hit Ramirez. If you want to discipline him then fine him, but …

The struggles for the Yankees continued last night as Phil Hughes picked up his third loss of the season. With the Yanks losing 8-2 in Baltimore last night, it pushes their record to 9-9 on the year.

Over at Peter Abraham’s LoHud Yankees Blog, he notes why Yankee fans shouldn’t be worried about the team’s …

Sunday morning is usually a good time to go around to different blogs and see what everyone is talking about. Today, I saw something I thought I would touch on myself.

If you watched yesterday’s Yankees - Red Sox game on FOX you saw some bizarre television. I’m sure most of …

Chien-Ming Wang has answered all the critics so far this season that say he is not a certified ace. Was his two-hit shutout against the Red Sox enough to silence the critics? Possibly.

Wang has taken a new approach to pitching this season and has added some pitches to his arsenal. A …

I’d like to introduce my new column here on HSNY: Beyond the Bleachers. It will feature some thoughts from fellow Yankee fans around the Stadium. You will get some news and notes from right outside the right field bleachers on River Ave that are witnessed first hand by yours truly. So let’s get on with …

The first series of the season is over and for the Yankees, it was a good one.

The Yanks defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 3-2 on Thursday night. Phil Hughes looked good in six innings of work while manager Joe Girardi played small ball in order to pick up his second …

Andy Pettitte might have a problem with his back, thus causing him to possibly miss his first start of the regular season.

Pettitte has been sidelined since Thursday with what he says is stiffness in his back. He last pitched on March 17th, where he threw 65 pitches in 3 1/3 …

Over at Peter Abraham’s LoHud Yankees Blog, he takes a look at the Yankees bench. With the addition of Ensberg Friday night to the 40-man roster, the bench is pretty much set.

Heres a look at the bench that manager Joe Girardi will have at his disposal:

Jose Molina (C)
Shelley Duncan (RF, …

The Yankees have added Morgan Ensberg to their 40-man roster. Ensberg is out of minor league options which means he will more than likely start the season in the Bronx.

In order to make room on the 40-man roster, Carl Pavano was placed on the 60-day DL for the fourth consecutive …

The Yankees announced Friday that Chien Ming Wang will be their Opening Day starter. The Yankees are entering their final season at the current Yankee Stadium and Wang will be the last Opening Day starter in the historic ballpark.
