The series we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived. With the playoff race not quite as tight as expected, the tension won’t be at its normally peak height when the Red Sox and Yankees battle in the Bronx. However, it’s still Red Sox and Yankees in September, and both teams have a chance to clinch ...

The Yankees (95-55) begin a three-game set with the playoff-contending Angels (89-60) tonight.

The Yankees (91-50) continue their homestand this weekend with the Baltimore Orioles (56-83). Finally, my presence will be made at the new Yankee Stadium. And what a time to do it — right in the thick of Derek Jeter’s milestone chase. I will be attending tonight’s game and Saturday’s. Head-to-Head: The Yanks are undefeated against the O’s ...

Coming off a series split with Toronto, the Yankees (87-50) head back home to face the slumping Tampa Bay Rays (72-64). The Rays have slipped seven games out of the wild card hunt, and the Yankees are maintaining a steady lead for the best record in the American League. Head-to-Head: The Yanks are 6-5 against the Rays this ...

The Yankees (85-48) are headed to Toronto for a four-game series with the Blue Jays (59-73). The Jays are well out of first place (25.5 games), and are five games away from being eliminated from the postseason. Remember when the Blue Jays were in first place May 23? I didn’t think so.
