Game 79, Gainst the Mariners, at home and more...
So the Yankees now have another outfielder. Thats right, Damon, Swisher, Cabrera, and Gardner all competing for 3 spots isn't enough. The Yankees aquire Eric Hinske from the Pirates for right hand pitcher Casey Erickson and outfielder Eric Fryer. So with Nady probably gone because of injury the Yankees find Hinske, who can play all 3 spots.
A lot of talk has been going on about Hughes in the pen. I still think he should be another starter. If any starter should be in the pen it should be Wang. He isn't as strong as a starter as he used to be, only getting to the fifth inning in 2 starts. He pitched great when he was in the pen when he got back off the DL.
So Joba pitches tonight. I won't be sitting at my computer watching the gameday like I normally do, I'm gonna go to a South Bend Silverhawks game tonight, watch them get the pants beat off them while I'm hoping the Yankees are winning.
The Yankees get 2 in the second with a single by Cano, single by Posada, and error base for Matsui, that scores Cano. Cabrera hits a sacrifice fly to score Posada. The Mariners get 1 in the third from a home run. Cabrera hits into a force out, but scores Cano from third. The Mariners get 2 in the fifth from many singles and such. 3-3.
In the seventh Damon leads off with a double and is scored with a Rodriguez home run. 5-3. But in the eighth, Bruney replaces Hughes and gives up 2. 5-5. But the Yankees get the lead back in the eighth. Matsui leads off with a double, followed by a Swisher single, followed by a Cabrera double, scores Matsui, followed by a Jeter single to score Swisher and Cabrera. 5-8, the lead holds.
Joba pitched 5.1 innings, gave up 3 runs on 9 hits, with 3 walks and 4 strike outs. Not the best of starts for him, he doesn't get the win. Bruney, with his blown save, gets the win. Rivera gets his 19th save of the season.
Damon went 2-4 with a double and scored a run. Rodriguez went 1-4 with a 2 run home run.
In other news, the Red Sox gave up 10 to 1 lead in the seventh. The bullpen gave up 5 in the seventh and 5 in the eighth, including 2 off of Papelbon for his second blown save. Sweet.

Game 78, Gainst the Mets, Subway Sweep complete, Mo 500!!
I saw the first 2 innings of this game in a resturant in Ft Wayne, then I listened to the next 6 innings in the car on my way home to South Bend, then I saw the last inning at home. I was hopeing, wishing, praying that it would all work out for Wang and Rivera on the same night, and it did in a big sweet way.
Before Wang had to throw his first pitch the Yankees gave him some breathing room. In the first, Jeter starts off with a double. He beats out the throw to third to get Swisher on with a fielders choice. Teixeira hits a 2 run double and is scored after advancing to third on a Cano ground out and scores on a Posada sacrifice fly. 3-0.
The Mets get 2 in the forth after a walk, double, ground out and single. 3-2. The next and final run doesn't happen until the ninth inning.
Posada singles, Cabrera force out, Gardner walk, Damon line out, Jeter intentional walk. Bases loaded, 2 out for Mariano Rivera. He works a full count with a nice cut foul ball in there. Ball four! Rivera gets an RBI with a walk! 4-2 Final, Wang gets the win, Rivera gets number 500!!!!
Wang pitched 5.1 innings, gave up 2 runs on 4 hits with 3 walks and 3 strike outs. He is now 1-6 with an ERA of 10.06, 1 more batter and he might have dropped down to single digits... River pitched for the last 4 batters with 2 strike outs and 2 ground outs he gets his 500th career save!
Jeter went 1-2 with a double and 3 walks. Swisher went 1-2 with 1 walk. He was taken out during the sixth inning to switch around the out field and pitching spot in the line up. Teixeira went 1-4 but his hit was a 2 run double! Not a great game but a win none the less.
5 straight!
