The Yankee’s 14th consecutive playoff berth, which would tie a major league record, is at stake, but seems less likely every day.

With the game tied at the brink of a three-game sweep by the team with the best record in baseball, the Yankees, could not pile on when they needed to.

The Yankees are stuck in third place in the American League East and the wild-card race, miles behind the Angels, who are charging toward their best season ever.

The Yankees face the Los Angeles Angels and Mark Texieira, their newly signed first baseman, starting Thursday, in the first of 10 remaining games.

The Yankees are a season-high 11 games over .500 and would climb into a virtual tie for the lead in the American League wild-card race with a sweep this weekend.

Is it a bad omen that the Yankees, even after a weekend sweep of the Oakland A’s moved them four and a half games behind first-place Tampa Bay, have the sixth-best record in the American League?

It may be the last All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium and Mariano Rivera will likely feature in the game, but don't expect him to be American League Manager Terry Francona's choice to start next Tuesday.

After Mariano Rivera stifled the Red Sox from the mound, Brett Gardner, replacing an injured Johnny Damon, fouled off three pitches before he singled to send home the winning run.

The former .150 hitter has returned to being one of the most productive first basemen in the league.

The construction worker who buried a David Ortiz jersey in the cement foundation of the new Yankee Stadium has told friends he buried other Red Sox memorabilia as well.
