  • Yankees Win 27th World Series!

    Posted by: The Connector

    Baseball’s penthouse is again decorated with hand-painted silk pinstripe wallpaper. Nine years after their previous World Series title, the Yankees copped No. 27 last night when they spanked the defending champion Phillies, 7-3, in Game 6 at Yankee Stadium as a record gathering of 50,315 that didn’t include George Steinbrenner watched.

     

     

    And they looked very comfortable. Alex Rodriguez, who doesn’t have to answer any more questions about choking in the postseason, let loose with a river of victory tears and promised the parade will be a huge party.

  • Lee, Utley power Phils over Yankees 6-1 (AP)

    Philadelphia Phillies' Cliff Lee(notes) pitches against the New York Yankees during the ninth inning in Game 1 of the Major League Baseball World Series Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2009, in New York. The Phillies defeated the Yankees 6-1 to lead the series 1-0.

    The ho-hum catch that tickled his teammates, the behind-the-back snag that looked so easy. Cliff Lee could have been clowning around with his kids. Hard to believe it was Game 1 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium, of all places. Lee outdueled CC Sabathia, Chase Utley homered twice and the Philadelphia Phillies kept rolling through October, beating New York 6-1 on a misty Wednesday night in the…

  • Sabathia good but outpitched by Lee (AP)

    CC Sabathia sounded a bit glum. His World Series debut didn't turn out the way he wanted. The Big Man was outpitched by former Cleveland teammate Cliff Lee, just like on opening day at the new Yankee Stadium. After carrying New York into the championship on his broad back, Sabathia struggled somewhat as the Yankees lost to the Philadelphia Phillies 6-1 in Wednesday night's opener.

  • Sluggers A-Rod, Howard ready for Series (AP)

    Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel speaks after a practice session for the Major League Baseball World Series Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2009, in New York. The Phillies play the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the World Series on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2009.

    Ryan Howard thought about the World Series and his eyes widened. "Between Yankee Stadium and Philly, it's going to be, I would have to say, probably one of the rowdiest World Series — just between the fans," he said. Sure will be if Howard and Alex Rodriguez start teeing off in their high-profile slugger showdown.

  • Yankees, Angels try again to play Game 6 (AP)

    An hour after Game 6 of the AL championship series was postponed, there was Andy Pettitte in a nearly empty Yankee Stadium, drenched in the pouring rain. With his short hair soaked and sweat shirt dripping, the New York Yankees' pitcher played catch in the outfield and ran light sprints through thick puddles on the warning track before finally grabbing some cover in the dugout.

  • A-Rod delivering in October for Yankees (AP)

    With runners on first and second in the 12th inning early Sunday, the "A-Rod!" chants started swelling at Yankee Stadium. Only thing is, All-Star Mark Teixeira was still at-bat. My how things have changed for Alex Rodriguez. In postseasons past, New York Yankees fans were merciless as Rodriguez foundered.

  • Teixeira walkoff HR puts Yankees up 2-0 (AP)

    Minnesota Twins shortstop Orlando Cabrera(notes) pauses during the 10th inning of Game 2 of the American League division baseball series at Yankee Stadium in New York Friday, Oct. 9, 2009. The Yankees won the game in the 11th inning 4-3.

    Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez stood together as Yankee Stadium roared. Teixeira had the chills. Rodriguez had a smile that said it all — a satisfied look after putting years of postseason failure behind him. Teixeira hit a leadoff drive in the 11th inning to give New York a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night and a 2-0 lead in their AL playoff series.

  • Yankees rally to top Twins 7-2 in Game 1 (AP)

    The New York Yankees, right, and the Minnesota Twins line the base paths during ceremonies before Game 1 of the American League division baseball series at Yankee Stadium in New York Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2009. The Yankees won 7-2 in the first playoff game at the new stadium.

    Derek Jeter got a big hit, just as he did in Octobers past at the famed ballpark across the street. CC Sabathia joined in the postseason fun. Even Alex Rodriguez broke out of his playoff rut. It was like old times in the first postseason game at the new Yankee Stadium, with New York beating these tired Minnesota Twins 7-2 Wednesday night in the opener of their AL playoff series.
