Decisions, Decisions for the Yankees

This season’s Yankees Opening Day roster consisted of twenty one returning players, and the lone noticeable loss was of stalwart Jorge Posada, who retired in January after seventeen seasons in pinstripes.

However there is no guarantee the roster remains near intact once again as this year’s Yankee group was the oldest in the league, and numerous players are upcoming free agents. Other than the monstrous contracts of C.C. Sabathia, Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez, almost everybody else is on the mend this off-season or next, with some due significant raises.

Swept Away

For the fourth straight ALCS playoff game, the New York Yankees’ bats fell dormant, falling to Detroit 8-1. For the second time in six years, the Tigers are going to World Series.

In fact, the last time the Tigers made it there, they knocked off both the Yankees and the Oakland Athletics. They just might face the St. Louis Cardinals again too. For the Yankees, the game was a fitting end to their offensive nightmare of a postseason, and now an unpredictable offseason looms.

Thirty one years after the Beatles first landed in the United States, another famous quartet touched down for the first time in the summer of 1995. That year, under manager Buck Showalter, the Yankees won the inaugural American League wild card, and the core four all first put on their pinstripes.

Five Reasons Why I Like the Yankees in the ALDS

The Yankees found out their American League Divisional Series opponent on Friday night when the Orioles convincingly defeated the flailing Rangers, 5-1, in the Wild Card matchup.

Many people would have preferred the Bronx Bombers facing Texas, considering they ended the regular season by losing 9 of their last 13 games and choked up a 13 game lead in the AL West standings. I, however, am thrilled that the Pinstripes are playing Baltimore. Here are five reasons why I like the Yankees to be victorious in the ALDS not only because of who they are facing, but because of the players donning the Pinstripes this year.

Other than missing the playoffs in 2008, Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees have been to the postseason every single season since 1995. Through the years the venerable captain has been through all the wars, but none quite like this years.
