Game 37, gainst the Twins, at Home

After giving up runs in the second, forth, forth and fifth, Jeter hits a home run in the bottom of the fifth to get the Yankees on the board. Then the Twins get a 4th run in the seventh to get a 4-1 lead. But the Yankees aren't done. Gardner hits an inside the park home run in the seventh. And then Gardner triples in the ninth and scores off a Teixeira single. Then, with bases loaded, two outs, Melky Cabrera, on the first pitch, hits a 2 run single to give the Yankees the first lead of the game and the win!

Hughes had a good start, 3 earned runs is a good start in my book, the line up should be able to win with only 3 scored against. He pitched 5 innings, gave 3 runs on 6 hits, 4 walks with only 2 strike outs. All right, so maybe it wasn't as strong as I thought.

Gardner 3-3 with 1 RBI and scoreing 2 runs. I think it is safe to say he got the Yankees back in this. Hitting an inside the park home run is something that gets everyone excited, and being in Yankee Stadium, I am sure everyone was on their feet in the ninth inning to help Cabrera after that triple and single. Teixeira was 2-4 with an RBI, Gardner in the ninth, and scored a run in the ninth as well. Rodriguez got up 5 times, struck out once, and was walked 4 times. I wonder how many times he has been walked now since hes been back..? Melky Cabrera, with the game winning single, 2-5 with 2 RBIs.

Game 36, Gainst the Blue Jays

Sabathia tries to out due his complete game. Pitches against Tallet for the 1st place Blue Jays.

The Yankees get 1 in the first after a Damon double and a walk to Teixeira, Matsui, and Swisher. So the RBI goes to Swisher. The Blue Jays get 1 in the forth and fifth to make it 1-2.

Gardner walks and scores after a Cervelli single and a Jeter single. Matsui gets the final run in the eighth with a home run. 3-2 final score.

Jeter 1-5, Damon 1-5, Teixeira 1-4, Alex Rodriquez 0-5, Matsui 1-3, Swisher 0-2, Cano 1-4, Gardner 0-2 and Ninth on the line up, Francisco Cervelli 2-4. The best of the game is ninth in the line up. I am amazed the Yankees won today. 1 had a good game. Close one I guess.

Sabathia went 8 innings, gave up 5 hits, 2 runs, and 4 walks with 5 strike outs. He had a very strong outing and it was just strong enough. Rivera gets save number 7 for the season. Sweet.

The Loss in the Tags is for my count. Today was a win.

Game 32, 33, Off day, Game 34, and 35

So this past weekend I was busy moving out and movie back into my house. I did not have anytime to get on my computer, and even if I did have time I couldn't because my computer was packed. Anyways, so I missed a lose, a win and another lose. So they are playing the Blue Jays now, the first place Blue Jays. Lets see how it goes.


After giving up 1 run in the first, the Yankees have a huge inning. Cabrera started it off with a double and scored with a Gardner home run. Then Pena triples (playing shortstop for Jeter) and scores off a Damon triple. Teixeira scores Damon with a double. Good inning. In the forth Damon scores after hitting a double, advanced on Swishers ground out, then scores on Teixeiras sacrifice fly. In the fifth, after giving up a run in the bottom of the forth, Cano doubles and scores on a Gardner triple. Then Gardner scores on a Cervelli single. 8-2.

And that is how it ends.

Pettitte pitched 6 all right innings. He walked 4, gave up 5 hits, 2 runs (only 1 earned), and had only 2 strike outs. Teixeira had a good game going 2-4 with a double, a single and 2 RBIs. Gardner also had a good game, going 2-3 with a home run, his first triple, and 3 RBIs.
