  • James scores 33 at MSG as Cavs cruise (AP)

    From left to right, David Sommo and brother Frank Sommo, of Kings Park, N.Y., and Zachariah Reitano, of Ridgefield, Conn., show their support for Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James(notes) to become a New York Knick before the start of an NBA basketball game between the Knicks and the Cavaliers on Friday, Nov. 6, 2009, in New York.

    LeBron James celebrated with the Yankees and toyed with the Knicks. No wonder he's bummed about the NBA schedule: only one Garden party this season. James scored 33 points in his lone visit to New York, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 100-91 victory over the Knicks on Friday night. One night after managing just 42 second-half points in an ugly home loss to Chicago, the Cavaliers rang up 40…

  • Girardi aids motorist after Series win (AP)

    Yankees manager Joe Girardi capped off a victorious evening by helping a car crash victim in suburban New York. Police said Girardi pulled over to help after a woman lost control on a Westchester County parkway and crashed into a wall around 2:30 a.m. Thursday. That was just hours after Girardi's team claimed a World Series victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.

  • Yanks tie Series on Teixeira, Matsui HRs (AP)

    Philadelphia Phillies' Ryan Howard(notes) stands in the infield during eighth inning of Game 2 of the Major League Baseball World Series Thursday, Oct. 29, 2009, in New York. Howard struck out all four times at bat during the game. The New York Yankees defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 3-1 to tie the series 1-1.

    More than any slugger on either team, pitching has been the star of this World Series. A.J. Burnett took a page from Cliff Lee's how-to manual and backed by a few key hits and a sharp pickoff throw, New York drew even with the Phillies at one game apiece. Mark Teixeira and Hideki Matsui helped rally the Yankees with solo homers off familiar foe Pedro Martinez, and Burnett's biting curveball…

  • 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.

  • Angels head to NY with comeback in mind (AP)

    New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi pulls his hood over his head during a baseball workout, Friday, Oct. 23, 2009, at Yankee Stadium in New York. The Yankees are scheduled to play the Los Angeles Angels in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday.

    Chone Figgins and the Los Angeles Angels know they're heading straight into more than one kind of storm, and they can't wait to get wet. Heavy showers in Saturday's New York forecast are threatening to wash out Game 6 of the AL championship series, yet that's a minor drizzle compared to the high-pressure system the Angels created for both themselves and the Yankees by extending the…

  • Angels, Yanks set for first ALCS meeting (AP)

    Water puddles accumulate along the dugout at Yankee Stadium in New York, Thursday, Oct. 15, 2009. The Los Angeles Angels will play the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the American League Championship baseball series starting on Friday.

    Mark Teixeira remembers calling Torii Hunter last winter. "After I signed with the Yankees, I said, `You know, good luck to you guys. Hopefully, we'll see you in the ALCS,"' Teixeira recalled. And then he repeated the message when Hunter reached first base during the first series between the teams in May.

  • Angels’ Lackey to start Game 1 of ALCS (AP)

    John Lackey will start Friday night's Game 1 of the AL championship series against CC Sabathia and the Yankees, getting the nod from manager Mike Scioscia before the Angels traveled to New York on Wednesday. Lackey pitched 7 1-3 innings to lead Los Angeles to a 5-0 win over the Boston Red Sox in Game 1 of the division series.

  • Yankees might try 3-man ALCS rotation (AP)

    The Yankees might go with a three-man rotation against the Los Angeles Angels in the AL championship series. CC Sabathia is scheduled to start Friday night's opener, with A.J. Burnett and Andy Pettitte as New York's other two primary starters. The shortened rotation would allow manager Joe Girardi to keep Joba Chamberlain and Chad Gaudin in the bullpen.

  • Halladay’s 1-hitter ends Yanks’ run at 7 (AP)

    New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi (27) walks to the mound to take the ball from relief pitcher Michael Dunn(notes), third from left, after Dunn loaded the bases in the seventh inning of a baseball game against the Toronto Blue Jays in Toronto on Friday, Sept. 4, 2009. The Yankees lost to the Blue Jays 6-0.

    After three straight subpar starts, Roy Halladay was back to being dominant Friday. Halladay pitched a one-hitter to snap a three-start losing streak and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Yankees 6-0, ending New York's winning streak at seven games. "If we gave up one (run), we wouldn't have won tonight," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi, whose team was shut out for the fifth time…
