After winning Game 1, the Yankees missed a chance to take a commanding 2-0 ALDS lead against the Angels, just like in 2002. The similarities end there, or so says Larry.

Back in the playoffs once again, the Yankees won an important game to start of the ALDS last night. Larry Mahnken shows just how big that was for New York, and how big Game Two is going to be for both teams.

Larry uses some elementary sabermetric concepts to respond to Tony Massarotti’s implication that David Ortiz is getting robbed of MVP consideration this season.

Jason Giambi’s saga continues.

Jason Giambi’s saga continues with the worst year of his life.

He’s the hottest hitter in baseball, the AL Player of the Month for July, and the leading hitter in the American League. He’s no hero, but Jason Giambi’s resurgence is the most impressive thing to happen so far this season.

Didn’t we do this last year? The Yankees are at .500 in mid-April, and looking bad in the process. Is it just another slow start, or an ominous sign of things to come?

Larry takes on the Yankees’ All-Star lineup, the man the Red Sox fear more than any other, and much more in the first installment of a new weekly column about the under-covered Yankees.

Four questions and one statement of incredulity about the Yankees.

Larry’s none too happy with the news that the Yankees might not be pursuing Carlos Beltran, after all.
