And tonight’s starter thinks not. “We’ve been pitching great,” CC Sabathia said. “It’s fun to watch. We knew that coming into [...]

Romine catching on 05.19.13
Austin Romine got off to a slow start behind the plate after being called up when Francisco Cervelli went down with a broken hand.

Postgame notes: “He’s very important to us” 05.18.13
Joe Girardi issued the above quote about David Phelps, who was strong throughout a career-long seven innings in today’s 7-2 win over the Blue Jays. Of course, it applies to Robinson Cano, too.
