What’s next for the Yankees?

Filed Under Bosox, NYCurve.com, Speculation | Leave a Comment

It has been quite a road for the Yanks thus far this season, with a plethora of big happenings, both good and bad. The team continues to fight on in the death match with the Red Sox and Rays, but the injury bug just won’t go away. Combine that with the reliance on young guys and you can really see that the Yanks have been through a lot. First it was the struggles of Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy, as they continue to try and find their place in the bigs. Then it was Chien-Ming Wang getting hurt while base running, and after that Posada and Matsui leaving a void in the lineup after sustaining injuries.

The Yankees, as always, didn’t give up as they continued to stay in it with the likes of Darrell Rasner, Dan Giese, and Sidney Ponson stepping up when needed. Brian Cashman responded with a couple of deadline moves, bringing in good replacements for Posada and Matsui with Ivan Rodriguez and Xavier Nady as well as extra bullpen help in Damaso Marte. Yet, the injury bug still didn’t care. It has bit again and Pudge is now out, again leaving the Yanks without a good-hitting catcher. Joba has also been struck, having been placed on the 15-day deal and putting even more pressure on the iffy rotation.

Yet, the Yankees will continue on. We really have no other choice. Andy Pettitte will likely continue to play consistently and Mike Mussina looks like he can keep this up. But, after that it’s still a mess. Perhaps Sidney Ponson will be able to keep up this run, but it’ll have to be something we hold our breath with. Same goes for Giese and whoever the other starter will end up being (for now its Kennedy, but I don’t know how long that will last; hopefully he can surprise us.) Let’s just hope that this group can keep us in it until Joba comes back, if he does this season.

This Blog is Not Dead

Filed Under NYCurve.com | Leave a Comment

As many of you may have noticed, this blog hasn’t been posted on for about 10 days and I would like to apologize for that. I have just been really busy and was out of town for a while, leaving me no time to write. Rodney hasn’t been writing either because he has had to leave the blog due to personal reasons. You will still see a few “get to know the draftees” posts by him which he wrote earlier, but you won’t see anymore from him after that. I want to thank him for contributing and hopefully he’ll come by to visit and participate via comments from time-to-time.

As for the future of this blog, I will do my best to post more consistently. I don’t know about preview posts for every game, but the big news (and analysis) will certainly be covered here. The previews aren’t really anything special since tons of sites and major sports hubs do them anyway. As the blog moves forward I will focus more on analysis and speculation, as well as covering the often overlooked parts of the Yankee universe, such as more on prospects. Things should pick up again shortly and I really hope you guys stick around. If you have any suggestions or comments, I would love to hear them via comments or the contact form.

Big Changes to the Blog

Filed Under NYCurve.com | 1 Comment

You guys may have noticed some changes to the blog recently and you can expect more in the coming days. There are several things going on with the blog at the moment so please bear with me as I get everything ironed out.

The biggest change is the addition of a new writer. His name is Rodney K. and he will be doing the game preview and review posts. I believe that now with two bloggers we will be able to give you more quality content faster, which will make this blog much better. Don’t worry though, I will still be around posting about everything else Yankee-related in the gigantic baseball universe. You can see who wrote each post by looking under the title.

Another alteration is the change of our domain name (the web address.) There were a couple of reasons behind this, but I think our new domain is better and it will serve us well for the long term. In case you didn’t notice (if you came from a link or bookmark), the new URL is: http://www.nycurve.com. As part of the name change, I have had to move the files and I am still getting everything straight, so if you see any bugs or errors please let me the know. Also, the forums will be down for a little bit, while I get everything moved. A new header is in the process of being created and put up as well.

Thanks for your support and please stick around because there is a very bright future for this blog and we would love to share the experience with you.

Update: Forums are now back up and running :)

New Host

Filed Under NYCurve.com | Leave a Comment

You may have noticed a little bit of downtime earlier today, but this time it was intentional. We were in the process of moving to a new server (with a different host) because our old one just wasn’t working out. The server we are now hosted on is much faster so things should load in less time for you guys. It should also have less downtime and problems. I believe this change will improve the blog and more importantly the user experience. So now that we are on a faster and more stable server, normal posting will continue very soon; thanks for hanging in there.

Downtime

Filed Under NYCurve.com | Leave a Comment

I would like to apologize for the downtime this blog had late last night into today. My host went through a DDos attack and the server which this site is hosted on went down. I have contacted them and everything should be fine now, if any more problems occur I may be switching to another host. Just wanted to let you guys know that I am not deleting the blog or anything. Thanks and stay tuned for more posts soon.

Quick NYYank.com Update

Filed Under NYCurve.com | Leave a Comment

You may have noticed some downtime around 4 o’ clock pm EST. We have moved to a new host because our old one was having problems and the overall speed was never that great there. This server has much better uptime and it is much faster, so pages will load faster than before.
