Burnette pitches tonight. Alex Rodriguez shall sit out tonight again.
In the second Burnette gives up a home run. 0-1. Then in the sixth, after a walk and an error by Damon in the field, the Marlins get another run. 0-2. In the seventh the Yankees get one after a Posada gets on out of fielders choice, moves over to third on a Cano single, then scores on a Swisher single. 1-2, Final.
Burnette pitched 6.1 innings, gave up just 1 earned run, only 5 hits with 3 walks, all in the sixth, and 8 strike outs. That should have been a win, buddy, that is some mighty fine pitching. Teixeira, Cano, Swisher, Matsui, and Burnett were the only Yankees to get hits. Great.

Game 70, Gainst the Marlins, In Florida
Jeter is back, but Rodriguez is sitting out with fatigue. Left side in field switch I guess.
Well the Yankees get off to a good start on the very first pitch. Jeter hits a ground rule double on the first pitch. Teixeira single moves him over to third and Posada's single scores him. Lets see if they can hold the early lead. 1-0. In the second, Cano singles, moves to second on a pop out by Cabrera. Cano is scored on a double by Berroa, playing for Rodriguez, and Berroa is scored thanks to a double by Pettitte, ya, Pettitte! Jeter singles after that to move Pettitte to third, and Damon singles to score him. In the third inning Melky Cabrera hit a home run. But in the bottom, the Marlins get a home run themselves. 5-1. And that will be the final.
Pettitte, one of his best starts of the season, went for 7 innings, gave up 1 run on only 3 hits, with 0 strike outs, and 7 strike outs! Great start for him. All of the Yankees got at least 1 hit. Damon and Teixeira went 2-5 all 4 singles. Jeter and Posada went 2-4.

Game 69, Gainst the Nationals, Decide the Series
Joba starts today, Jeter still out of the line out. Oh boy.
So Joba gives up 2 doubles in a row in the first, Nationals score 1. After a single and 3 walks in the forth, the Nationals get 1 scored by a walk. Then in the fifth after a double, ground out, and another double, the Nationals get a third. No responce from the Yankees, 3-0. Sweet.
Joba pitched 6 innings gave up 3 runs on 7 hits with 4 walks and 6 strike outs. I'd say good start on his part. The line up, on the other hand, better than last night, almost doubled the hits! None of them consecutive enough to have a run though. Cano and Swisher went 2-4. Swisher had a double and a single, Cano, 2 singles. Alright, lets please win against the Marlins. Please, please, please...

Game 68, Gainst the Nationals, Wangs Last Chance
Jeter is not in the line up as lead off hitter. Damon leads off, Swisher second, Rodriguez, Teixeira, Cano, Posada, Matsui, Cabrera, and Pena batting ninth, playing short stop for the captain.
Wang walks one in the first, but gets out of it with a double play behind him. He knows everyone is watching his start today. Wang gives up a home run to Dunn in the forth. Then in the fifth he gives up a triple and 2 more runs. The Yankees get their first run, and hit, in the bottom of the fifth. Cano hits a home run to get the Yankees on the board.
Wang was taken out in the sixth, replaced by Hughes. First three pitched by Hughes, Strike out. STARTER!!! Giving up only 1 hit, Hughes is taken out in the eighth and replaced by Phil Coke, who has 3 strike outs and 1 walk.
It goes to the bottom of the ninth. 3-1, Yankees down, but not out. Damon leads off the inning with a home run. But thats all they get. With only 4 hits in the game, the Yankees fall, 3-2.
Wang pitched 5 innings gave up 3 runs off of 6 hits with 2 walks and 4 strike outs. It is much better than his previous starts, but in this league you can't give up 3 runs if the bats aren't working. Hughes was taken out in the eighth and replaced by Coke. He pitched 2 innings, gave up only 1 hit with 2 strike outs.
Cano went 1-4 with a home run, Damon went 2-4 with a home run and a double.

Wangs Day, Jeter May Not be Apart of it
Wang pitches today against the Nationals. This may be his last chance to prove he is still a starter. As of right how he is 0-4, in 5 starts, with an ERA of 14.34.
Jeter left yesterdays 3-5 win with ankle stiffness in the seventh inning. It may have been from Sunday's game when Sheffield slid into second, trying to break up the double play. Jeter was put on the day-to-day list. Pena, who relaced Jeter, had a great play in the feild and an RBI in the eighth.

Game 67, Gainst the Nationals, at Home
So Sabathia takes the ball against the Nationals, his first start after holding the Red Sox to 1 run in 7 innings, then blowing it in the eighth. So lets get your sixth win!
The Yankees score 1 in the second. Cabrera hit a sacrifice fly to score Cano from third. In the third inning the Yankees score another Cano singles to score Damon from third. The Yankees fall back when Sabathia gives up a 3 run homer to Anderson Hernandez in the fifth. 3-2. But in the seventh, after a Damon single, Teixeira double, and Cano double, the Yankees retake the lead 3-4. In the eighth Pena hits in an insurance run, playing for Jeter who left with ankle stiffness, with a single to score Gardner, running for Matsui. Final 3-5.
Sabathia pitched 7.2 innings, allowing 3 runs off of 6 hits with 2 strike outs and 1 walk (last at bat he pitched in the eighth inning). He was taken out after that walk and replace by Brian Bruney for the 1 last at bat of the eighth. Rivera got his 15th save of the season. 3 more till 500.
Cano was 4-4 scoring a run with 2 RBIs. He had half the hits of the game.
The Yankees are back to 10 over .500. Tomorrow Wang (0-4) hopes to get his ERA down. He needs all the help he can get to get his first win. No offence but I think Wang should be in the Pen and Hughes should be the 5th starter. Wang pitched 3 scoreless innings some time ago in the seventh, eighth of a game and then the next game. He seems much better later than earlier.

Day Off for Yankees, Washington Tomorrow
Sabathia pitches against the Nationals tomorrow, looking for his sixth win. I hope he gets his second complete game of the season tomorrow, if Girardi lets him. Girardi took Phil Hughes out of a 11-0 game against the Rangers in May. The Yankees were up and the Rangers only scored 1, in the ninth, when Hughes had finished eight complete innings. So far, the Yankees have only 1 complete game by a starter. CC Sabathia pitched a 4 hit shut out against the Orioles in early May.
The Yankees are second in their division, 36-27, Nationals are fifth in their division, 16-45. Boy I hope the Yankees take advantage of playing them at home, 6-23 on the road.
Red Sox play the Florida Marlins, 38-25 gainst 32-33. Better odds of Marlins taking at least 1 than the Nationals.

Game 66, Subway Series, Game 3
Burnette has his next start after a 7-0 loss against the Red Sox earlier this week. Lets hope the lineup is a little more awake.
The Yankees score 4 early in the second. Cano doubles to start off the inning and then after 2 outs and a Matsui walk, Cervilli singles, Jeter singles, and Damon singles. Damon called out at second after scoring Cervilli and Jeter. In the forth the Yankees blow it wide open with a walk (Swisher), home run (Matsui), double (Cabrera), single (Cervilli), single (Jeter), double (Damon), single (Teixeira), bases loaded double play (Rodriguez), home run (Cano), walk (Swisher), walk (Matsui), double but called out at third (Cabrera). 9 run forth inning.
In the top of the seventh the Yankees pull out most of the infield. Pena, who replaced Rodriguez in the sixth, moves to SS, Berroa in at 3rd, Swisher moves to first (Teixeira out), and Gardner in center field. They hold the Mets and score 2 more in the bottom because Berroa was hit, Damon walked, Gardner walked, Pena singled, and Cano scored 1 with a sacrifice fly. Final score, 0-15! The Yankees scored 8 runs with 2 outs.
I don't understand why they took Burnett out in the eighth. I wish the management would let these guys finish some of their games instead of using the bullpen. The starters have 4 guaranteed rest days but the next game could go into extra innings and the bullpen is down a bit. See, Robertson comes in and has 2 strike outs in an inning. Those are 2 strike outs we may need in the next game!
Burnett pitched 7 innings, gave up no runs! on only 4 hits! with 4 walks (boo) and 8 strikeouts! I think he should have finished the game.
Jeter went 4-4 scoring 2 runs with 2 RBIs. Damon went 2-4 scoring 1 run with 3 RBIs. Cano went 3-4 scoring 2 runs with 3 RBIs. He had 2 doubles and a home run. Cabrera went 2-4 scoring 1 run with 2 RBIs. He had 2 doubles.

Game 65, Subway Series, Game 2
Game 2, Pettittes baby. Digs himself a hole a little early, giving up 2 in the second. Rodriguez gets one back with a home run. 2-1. In the fifth Pettitte gives up 3 more and the Yankees only have a 1 run answer in the seventh with Jeter's single to score Gardner. Final score, 6-2.
Pettitte had a rocky start giving up earned runs on 12 hits and 1 walk with 3 strike outs. The line up had an even rockier game, going 5-32 overall. Rodriguez went 1-2 with a home run.
