Yankees Season in Review: The Biggest Stories from the First 50 Games

Hello friends, sorry it's taken so long for me to get back on the horse and write a new article. I've been hard at work on my music, and should be releasing my first solo EP, entitled Disparition, some time in mid-July.

You can hear rough mixes from the record at http://myspace.com/tomschecter.

The first fifty games of this season have been fraught with ups and downs, but on Friday night, the Yankees did something they'd never done before under Joe Girardi - in fact, something they hadn't done since the last day of 2006: they took sole possession of first place in the American League East. Things are looking up.

And so, full of piss, vinegar and optimism, I give you my review of the first fifty games of this 2009 season.
