Yesterday on Pinstriped Bible

No-Show - ESPN New York | Andrew Marchand: The Yankees will not discipline Alex Rodriguez after he failed to report to his rehab game following his meeting with MLB officials about Biogenesis.
One of the Uglier Games - LoHud | Chad Jennings: The Yankees all agree that they have been bad and yesterday's game was a disaster, but is it just a product of an inconsistent team or a sign of a horrible second half to come?
Awed By Future Game Experience - MLB.com | Marty Noble: Rafael De Paula experienced a big league ballpark for the first time when he pitched in the All-Star Futures Game, but he'd rather be at Yankee Stadium than at Citi Field.
Booed By Home Crowd - USA Today | Jorge Ortiz: Instead of finishing the first half of the season strong, the Yankees have limped into the All-Star break and remain in fourth place.
One Pitch - NorthJersey.com | Jeff Roberts: Mariano Rivera's last season is a perfect time to look back on his legacy, beginning with the scout who first discovered him to the discovery of the cutter.
Deadbeat Dad List - NBC New York | Dan Stamm: Ex-Yankee Danny Tartabull is on the run after failing to provide child support and being issued with a 180-day jail sentence.

Robinson Cano is now the face of the Pepsi MLB marketing campaign.
