    Yankees escape with ugly walk-off win over Orioles

    The Yankees didn’t hit much overall, nor in the clutch, and fielded poorly Saturday against the Orioles.

    MetLife Stadium will be quiet to start this season, and at least for the foreseeable future, and it will not be because Big Blue and Green Green are losing. There will be no “J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets” chants. “Let’s go Giants” will not be heard. Due to the novel coronavirus, the stands will be empty. …

She’d gone to high school with the great Calvin Murphy in Norwalk, Conn., so hoops fed most of her sporting interests. It wasn’t until around 2000, …

    Yankees’ long-term issues have been exposed: Sherman

    They were 84-59, cruising to a division title and looking every bit the champion of the two previous years. Then the 2000 Yankees forgot how to win.

    Gerrit Cole earned his Yankees fan bona fides in 2001. Did he just prove his pinstriped mettle on Sept. 11? Sure, sure, true Yankees moments, especially for a player who received a $324 million commitment, must come in October. Nevertheless, this one felt quite big for the Yankees’ first-year ace, and profound too. In throwing …
