The Yankees have barely stopped for a breath in retooling themselves this off-season.

It finally came today as the Yankees stopped the Orioles, 5-2, to avoid a three-game sweep.

Giambi had a ground single and two runs batted in as the Yankees stopped Boston, 7-3.

But the Yankees, he said, won't stop discussing trades, even when October arrives.

He never notched the third out because the Yankees never stopped swinging or scoring.

The Yankees stopped playing with the verve that threatened to make their season special.

The Yankees stopped hitting fly balls from the fifth inning through the eighth.

For one reason or another - maybe the team's recent reliance on home runs - the Yankees have stopped running, and temporarily lost that mind-set.

They left home without much more than a horrendous losing streak, but tonight the Yankees momentarily stopped their dive.

The Yankees will stop selling full and partial season tickets on Sunday at midnight.
