My Story Okay, here's the story. Yes, I grew up a Phillies fan. I have never hid that fact from anyone during my time covering the Yankees (nine years and counting). But now the Schmidt has hit the FAN.
Cashing In Brian Cashman has taken a lot of hits over the last six years. Now that he's built the Yankees into a pennant winner again he deserves some credit. Yes, there is still one more hill to climb.
Get Ready for a Fall Classic Now it feels like October. The Yankees are playing for a trip to the World Series. It's been a while in case you hadn't noticed. They haven't gotten this far since 2004.
Answering the Questions You had questions and the Yankees provided some answers: Will A-Rod finally hit in the playoffs? Check. Will CC Sabathia finally pitch well in the playoffs? Check.
Burnett On The Hot Seat Yes, I think A.J. Burnett will pitch well against the Twins. I subscribe to the belief that he's been pacing himself at times throughout the first season of his 5-year contract, hoping to prove that he's healthy.
