It's now the month of May, the New York Yankees are struggling (although not as bad as last year), so does that mean a blast from the past be returning for another stint? It was the month of May last year, when Roger Clemens showed up at Yankees stadium and announced to a sold out crowd that he was   more...

Do you think he should start instead of Kennedy. Also Igawa or Hughes?

Mike Mussina's out! Ian Kennedy will make his Major League debut this weekend against the Devil Rays. I really don't know anything about Kennedy, aside from the fact that he's highly touted by the Yankees. But the fact that they're going with Kennedy over Kei Igawa speaks volumes to me:

A very good article on the mystic of Japanese baseball players."But for all the hype, Japanese baseball players remain something of a mystery. With few exceptions, they've performed at the extremes in Major League Baseball: Some surprise, excel and even dominate, while others fail spectacularly or   more...

Igawa optioned to Class-A??? This guy stinks, but who goes from the majors straight down to Class-A unless they're injured? As far as I know, there's no injury at play here. Yanks can crow all they want about Clemens - this is embarrassing.

After a disappointing start against the Seattle Mariners Roger Clemens was in need of a MRI to check on his elbow which only lasted four innings and 62 pitches yesterday.Right now the best case scenario is the Rocket only misses one start then can come back to help the Yanks to the playoffs.

Last week I asked if the Yankees should sign an extra starting pitcher; today let's discuss adding a left-hander for the bullpen. Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe reported Sunday that the Yankees are looking to acquire one: The Yankees are looking far and wide for a left-handed reliever. According   more...

If the Seattle Mariners miss out on Johan Santana and Erik Bedard, who do they go after? The New York Yankees have some extras to shed from their rotation. Could Mike Mussina be Seattle bound?

The Yankees have sent pitcher Kei Igawa back to the minors again. A trade may be next:

In a football-themed game at Yankee Stadium tonight, Kei Igawa "tackled" Ichiro, raising the ire of a Mariner team who, only one night ago, was shown up by Manny Ramirez:

The Yankees were disappointed in their investment towards Kei Igawa, mainly because he did absolutely nothing for the Yankees. The Red Sox, who think a change of scenery and a being with two other Japanese teammates could make him more comfortable on the mound, are making it known now that they are   more...

After three strong starts for the Scranton-Wilkes Barre Yankees, Kei Igawa will be called up by the Yankees. Igawa went 2-1 with a 1.80 ERA for Scranton, striking out 21 in 20 innings. This appears to be a turnaround for the Japanese import that many already consider a bust.

Coming off two disappointing starts against the Angels and Tigers Mike Mussina had a lot to prove last night then proceeded to get stomped for six runs in three innings in Detroit.Before the start Mussina was asked if he was worried about loosing his spot in the rotation and mockingly replied to   more...

It should be obvious by now that if the New York Yankees are going to catch either Cleveland in the wild-card race or Boston in the AL East they simply cannot keep sending Kei Igawa to the mound every 5 days.Igawa, in whom the Yankees invested $46 million, was overmatched again last night, giving   more...
