iYankees Dropping Damon and Matsui
In his latest, Tim Kurkjian (via MLBTR) speculates that the Yankees could let Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui walk this winter rather than bring one of the two back for 2010. To replace their production, Kurkjian believes that the Yankees will consider free agents, including Jason Bay and Matt Holliday....

iYankees Thanking everyone
From Buster Olney (ESPN): Down on the field, a victory stage was set in place, and the players and the Steinbrenners gathered for the trophy presentation. Cashman lingered in the suite, to honor the people who make up the blood and guts of his organization. “It was pretty classy,” Oppenheimer said Friday, from his desk in Tampa, Fla., where he was looking over scouting reports....

One-time Yankee “ace” Chien-Ming Wang will journey to Alabama on Monday in order to meet with Dr. James Andrews, the famed specialist who operated on Wang, repairing a torn ligament in his shoulder capsule, over the summer.

iYankees Mike Cameron a LF option?
Yesterday, the Brewers and the Twins connected for a trade, which sent struggling shortstop J.J. Hardy to Minnesota in exchange for the speedy center fielder Carlos Gomez, who was famously acquired by Minnesota in the Johan Santana trade. When asked about the trade, Brewers GM Doug Melvin noted to Adam McCalvy (MLB) th...at Gomez would likely be the Brew Crew’s starting center fielder in 2010, effectively ending Mike Cameron’s 2-year tenure...Read More

iYankees Well, that’s just uncalled for…
From Rick Reilly (ESPN): They’re having a parade because the New York Yankees won the title? Why not throw one because a bear ate a salmon? Or a hurricane knocked over a trash can? Hey, the bully just gave the nerd a wedgie! Let’s throw a parade! Look, the Yankees played well....

iYankees Remarkably Awkward
From Ken Rosenthal (FOX Sports): Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter is polite and accommodating to reporters, rarely saying anything of consequence, but always making himself available. I saw a different side of Jeter after the Yankees’ clincher in the American League Championship Series, one that reflected how badly he wan...ted to win the World Series for the first time in nine years. I had my questions prepared before I interviewed Jeter live on the field....Read More

Here are two videos of the Yankees out partying at 10AK on Wednesday night. Notice how Derek Jeter, in typical Jeter form, lectures CC Sabathia about posing for the camera. The players seem like they’re having a lot of fun and, of course, it’s well deserved. Props to Guest of a Guest

iYankees Yanks on Letterman tonight
Tonight, Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, and Andy Pettitte will all be on “The Late Show with David Letterman” to discuss their recent World Series victory. The show airs at 11:35 pm (ET) on CBS (so, basically, an hour from now). I wonder why no Alex Rodriguez? Oh, I guess this explains it… Also, Joba Chamberlain will be on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.” That airs at 12:35 am (ET) on NBC.

It was a drought for nine years and we finally got one,” said Rivera, who told the crowd from the podium during the presentation of the championship trophy that he wants to pitch for “another five years.” “They don’t want me to retire....

From Buster Olney (ESPN): Joe Girardi successfully navigated the postseason with only three starting pitchers, but now the Yankees will have to make choices and decisions. The guess here is they will continue to work to develop Joba Chamberlain as a starting pitcher, and they might do the same with Phil Hughes....

Congratulations to the New York Yankees, our 2009 World Champions. Here are some quick thoughts on last night’s game: Who do you bring back—Matsui or Damon? It’s no secret that I want Matsui back. Speaking of Matsui, how amazing is he? He’s a classy professional that deserves the accolades. To the Phillies, you’re a great team....

iYankees Rivera for three innings in Game 6?
Yesterday, I wrote about Joe Girardi’s statement regarding Mariano Rivera, in which he proclaimed that Rivera would be available for “multiple innings” in Game 6. This was obviously interesting information although it was somewhat ambiguous. Today, we’re hearing a bit more about that remark, via Bryan Hoch (MLB). Accor...ding to Hoch, Girardi further explained his remark saying that Rivera will, indeed, be available for two innings and “maybe a little more.” Now,...Read More

From Mark Feinsand (props to RAB), we learn that A.J. Burnett will be available as a reliever for the final two games of the series after throwing only 53 pitches in Game 5 (how’s that for short-rest?). Joe Girardi did, however, note that a Burnett relief appearance would be unlikely....

iYankees Ask CC, it’s all about execution…
CC Sabathia serves as an organic counter-argument to the notion that a three-man rotation, reliant upon four possible short-rest performances from its three starters, does not work in the World Series. In Game 1 against the Phillies, Sabathia pitched well and, in Game 4, to everyone’s surprise (well, not really), he also pitched well....

From Tim Brown (Yahoo!

As Myers walked past Hamels near Hamels’ locker he said, mocking, “What are you doing here?...
