| (Best E Casino) - For the New York Yankees to gain ground in the American League East standings, they'll have to improve their play against division opponents. The Bronx Bombers have an opportunity to gain a needed series win against such a rival this afternoon, when the club concludes a three-game set with the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees drew even in this series on Wednesday behind another outstanding performance by Mike Mussina. The battle-tested veteran held Toronto to one run over six |

Luis Alonso was a catcher who played and coached with the Industriales, a team in Cuba that has as much notoriety as the New York Yankees. He taught his son the game. The family was disappointed three years ago when Yonder Alonso was selected in the 16th round by Minnesota after a stellar career at Coral Gables High. He decided to enroll at Miami, where he was an instant star - and |

He was the AL's starting pitcher in the 2003 All-Star Game at U.S Cellular Field, and went 21-9 with a 2.90 ERA while leading the league in strikeouts.

NEW YORK (AP) -Jorge Posada was activated from the disabled list Wednesday by the New York Yankees and was available off the bench against Toronto. The All-Star catcher wasn't in the starting lineup because he caught the previous two days while rehabilitating his throwing shoulder at extended spring training in Florida. Posada had been out since April 28 with right rotator cuff tendinitis. ``I don't think it's going to be 100 percent, but it's good enough,'' he said. ``I think it's good enough to get goi |

Toronto's Jesse Litsch enters this evening's tilt having won five consecutive decisions, and the young right-hander did not yield a single run over either of his two most recent mound trips. Since being hit hard in a loss at Tampa Bay on April 22, Litsch has amassed a 5-0 record and an excellent 1.9 |

| , putting them back in the draft for another year. The whole process is flawed. Some players drop just because teams won't be able to reach their salary demands, and you know who swoops right in and grabs those players. It is no coincidence that the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox have two of the best farm systems in all of baseball, despite over a decade of dominance. Now, of course, those teams also have great baseball people making decisions, but the money helps a lot. Case in point: Alvarez seems to be |
