Taking a very brief sidestep from our Yankee rants to congratulate the Rangers for being 3/4ths of the way through the journey to the Stanley Cup.

Do NOT stop now, boys.  Keep at it.

As many of you know, we at Yankees Truth have come down hard lately on Alfredo Aceves and the manager who keeps putting him into ball games.

But on Monday, Aceves shut us up.  Good for him !   The best way to get Yankees Truth off your back is to go out and perform.  Aceves did just that:  Two clutch innings, and he got the win.  Let’s hope it’s the start of something big for him.

Jacoby Ellsbury, Brett Gardner, and Alfonso Soriano struck out 7 times among them last night.

Joe Girardi is the only man on earth who thinks Afredo Aceves is a major league pitcher.

Ichiro had another perfect night, including a clutch pinch hit in the ninth inning.  Despite that, Joe Girardi continues to Continue reading →

This post is for all of you who complain that we like Ichiro too much.  We get quite a few emails from Yankee fans who actually agree with Joey Girardi.   Believe it or not, some fans actually think Girardi is Continue reading →

Clueless Joe has got to go.

What more can Ichiro possibly do to get into (and stay in) the lineup?  What kind of manager CONTINUOUSLY benches his team’s leading hitter?

Clueless Joe had got to go.

Ichiro Suzuki’s manager allowed him to bat only once last night.   He got on base.   Another perfect night.

What does he have to do to get into the regular lineup?

• Beltran gets hurt? Girardi benches Ichiro.
• Ichiro is the team’s leading hitter? Girardi benches Continue reading →

The Yankees bats continued to click this weekend as we took the series from Pittsburgh and are back in first place.  Girardi kept his mistakes to a minimum.  Brett Gardner got picked off of third base.   The umpires wouldn’t let Tex have first base after he was beaned.

But the Yankees endured all of that to reclaim the top spot in the AL East.  Next up:  The Cubbies.

Alfredo Aceves gave up four more runs against the Mets last night. He just cannot get the job done, and we all know that. All of us, of course, except for Joey Girardi, who keeps putting him into games and keeps watching him cost us games.

Alfredo Aceves was 2-10 for Boston a few years ago. Girardi must have missed that stat.

Will Clueless Joe never learn a lesson? Yes, Nuno gave Continue reading →

It’s difficult to blame Joe Girardi for the Yankees’ loss last night. As many of you know, Yankees Truth has come down hard on Brett Gardner, so it was refreshing to see him shut us up and deliver last night. Too bad the pitching staff forgot to show up.

Isn’t there anyone–ANYONE–in Triple-A that we can call up and get rid of Aceves?

Girardi’s mistakes continue.  Yankee players and fans have to endure Giradi’s repeated blunders.

And it’s going from frustrating to just plain angry.

In Saturday’s loss to the Brewers, Clueless Joe Girardi proved (once again) why he should not be at the helm of the Yankees, or any other team for that matter.

Is Joe Girardi choking himself?

Dellin Betances came in to relieved an injured CC Sabathia.  Betances faced two batters.  He struck them both out.  Just to reiterate, so there’s no chance of any misunderstanding, Betances came in and struck out both batters he faced.

Surely a pitcher who has just struck out two in a row after coming from the bullpen has proven he has his good stuff.  He is red hot and has all his pitches working.  Surely that pitcher deserves to Continue reading →
