Roger Clemens went to Congress and spoke with congressional lawyers for five hours on Tuesday. While the meeting was private, Clemens did speak to reporters afterwards and reiterated his innocence saying, "It was great to be able to tell them what I've been saying all along -- that I've never used steroids or growth hormone." One of Clemens’ lawyers, Lanny Breuer added that Clemens "answered every question that was posed to him today.” So, Clemens......

Joe Torre opened his press conference this afternoon by saying that he had “just gotten off the phone with George Steinbrenner and he has informed me that I will be the manager in 2007.” So closes one of the more bizarre 48 hours in Yankees’ history. First we heard Joe was gone, then he was coming back, and then no decision had been reached. (And somewhere in there, Giuliani called Steinbrenner to save Torre's......

-Mets and the Giants PPD: The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Saturday, giving fans two chances to let Barry know how they feel. -Yankees 6 Orioles 5: Derek Jeter has done it so many times, you just expect him to come through in the clutch. Friday night he did again, singling home Johnny Damon with two outs in the ninth to give the Yankees the lead. Jeter was almost deprived......

The Yankees won their second series of the year by beating the Orioles 7-1 on a day better suited for football than baseball at the Stadium. The win brings the team a game over .500, the best they have been since starting the year with a victory in Oakland. The victory was important, but more so were some of the questions it answered. First and foremost, Randy Johnson showed that he is healthy. Johnson was......

The excitement in the All-Star game came long after most fans had turned off their televisions. Gothamist can’t blame them as the American League jumped out to a 7-0 lead after six innings before some shaky relief pitching allowed the National League to claw back into the game. In the end, seven runs was too big a deficit to overcome and the AL hung on for a 7-5 victory. All five local players at the......

When the game started it looked like it would be a typical Yankees-Orioles game. The Yankees hit Sir Sydney Ponson hard in the first inning, but only managed one run, on a Gary Sheffield RBI single. Jose Contreras was sharp the first two innings, sending the Orioles down in order. 1-0 Yankees after two innings. The next seven innings went south in a hurry for the Bronx Bombers. Melvin Mora hit a two-out two RBI......

The New York Yankees had a seven-game winning streak over the Baltimore Orioles broken last night in Camden Yards, falling to the Orioles, 13-2. Jon Lieber pitched poorly, giving up 11 hits and seven runs (five of them earned) in 3 2/3 innings. Lieber has not had a solid outing in a month and right now is embarrassed by his pitching. His pitches are finding to much of the plate, and his sinker is not......

7 games vs. the Orioles, 70 runs and 7 wins. Yankee management has got to be thinking, "can we schedule some more games with these guys?" Last night the Yankees jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead on an Alex Rodriguez home run in the 1st inning. Mike Mussina, making his first start since he injured his groin 10 days ago, got off to a rocky start, but managed to pick up the win.......
