The Yankees get it started right with 1 run scored in the first and 2 in the second. Jeter singles to start of the game, Teixeira moves him to third with a single and Matsui hits him home with a single as well. In the second, Cano doubled to start off the second inning, Gardner singles right after him, moves Cano to third, and a sacrifice fly by Cervelli scores Cano. Then a single by Damon moves Gardner to third and a single by Teixeira scores Gardner. A home run in the bottom of the inning by Michael Cuddyer gets 1 for the Twins. 3-1.
Cervelli singled to start off the forth, Jeter walks right behind him, Damon walks behind him, Rodriguez scores Cervelli from third on a sacrifice fly (over the fence sac fly, should have been grand slam sac fly), Matsui walks to load the bases again, and Swisher walks, with two out to score an RBI. 5-1.
Big inning in the sixth. Teixeira singles, Rodriguez walks, Swisher walks with two out. Two out, bases loaded, same situation as the forth. Anyways, Cano singles, scores Teixeira and Rodriguez, moves Swisher to third. Garnder triples to score Swisher and Cano. Cervelli doubles to score Gardner. Wow, why can't we have hits like that all the time with 2 outs? 5 runs score with two outs in the inning, 8 out of 10 so far. 10-1 after six. After taking Sabathia out in the eighth, Brett Tomko gives up a run in the inning, just 1. 10-2 Final.
Sabathia pitched 7 innings, gave up 1 earned run off of 3 hits with 1 walk and 3 strike outs. It seemed he didn't have the right pitch to get batters out at home, but get them out in the field. With only 3 strike outs, the team backed him up with 8 ground outs and 10 fly outs.
Teixeira went 4-6 with 4 singles with 1 run and 1 RBI. Cano went 2-5 with a double, 2 runs, and 2 RBIs. Gardner went 3-5 with a triple, 2 runs, and 2 RBIs. Cervelli, for Posada, went 2-4 with a double, 1 run, and 2 RBIs.
Roy Halladay for sale? Yankees, Get him before the Red Sox do!!!! Come on, Pettitte's gonna retire soon, Wang may need more help, Joba isn't putting up the right numbers...
Burnett pitches tomorrow, 8:10 at the Metrodome. Interesting note, Alfredo Aceves will pitch for Wang on Thursday. Interesting, lets see how that goes...

Game 76, Gainst the Mets, Subway Series Part 2
The Yankees, I think, are 0-3 in rain delayed games. This one was delayed for about 50 minutes, lets see how it goes.
The Yankees get started in the second with Sabathia's help on he mound and at the plate. It all started with a Melky lead off single in the second and advance to second on a throwing error by third baseman Wright. Pena doubled Cabrera home and Sabathia hit a single to score Pena from second. The Yankees get some help from the Mets in this inning. Damon reaches on a throwing error by shortstop Cora and scores Sabathia. Teixeira reaches on a fielding error by Evans and scores Gardner. 4 runs scores with 3 errors by the Mets, only 2 runs were earned. 4-0.
Gary Sheffield homers in the bottom of the fifth. That puts an end to Sabathias command over the Mets, he pitched a 4 inning no hitter. 4-1. In the eighth inning Gardner homers, Teixeira draws a walk and Rodriguez hits a home run with two outs on the first pitch to him. Poor unexperienced pitcher, never throw a perfect pitch right down the line to a power hitter. 7-1.
Brett Tomko replaces Sabathia in the eighth. 6 up, 6 down. ERA went down to 5.51. In the ninth inning, Pena singled, Gardner tripled to score Pena, Damon doubled to score Gardner. 9-1, Final.
Sabathia pitched 7 innings, gave up 1 run on only 3 hits. He had zero walks and 8 strike outs. Great strong start for the big man tonight. Good start to the series.
Gardner went 5-6! Great lead off night for him, 3 singles, a triple and a home run. He scored 3 times and had 2 RBIs. Rodriguez was 1-2 with a home run and three walks. Pena also had a great night, playing for the sick Jeter. He went 3-5 scoring 2 runs with 1 RBI.

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 58, Gainst the Rays, finally
Sabathia pitches tonight against David Price for the Rays. Should have been yesterdays game but no one can help rain in an open stadium. Oh well, Red Sox lost so back it first. Hold it now.
Speaking of the game yesterday, I looked ahead at the schedule and found that the Yankees have a 3 game series against the Rays at home from September 7th to the 9th. Both teams have an off day on the 10th so I'm betting thats when they'll make up last nights game.
The first pitch in the bottom of the second inning brings home the first run. Alex Rodriguez hit his eighth home run to give the Yankees the early lead. 0-1. In the bottom of the forth Rodriguez gets on after a walk, steals second, and advances to third on a throwing error by the catcher. He later scores in the inning on a ground out by Robinson Cano. 0-2. But in the top of the fifth Zobrist, for the Rays, hits a home run. 1-2. Then a throwing error by Damon gets a Rays runner to third and scores. 2-2.
In the sixth inning Melky Cabrera doubles and advances to third on a sacrifice bunt by Cervelli. He scores on a throwing error from Price trying to pick him off of third. 2-3. In the top of the sixth Sabathia gives up a walk, a single and a home run with no outs. 5-3. In the bottom of the eighth Teixeira hits a home run, his 17th. 5-4. In that same inning Posada walks, Cano singles, and Swisher walks to bring up Cabrera. He hits a force out but scores Posada regaurdless. 5-5.
In the ninth Rivera comes in and gives up a triple and a single without an out. Then later that single scores. Phil Cokes comes in with 2 outs. He gives up a single and a Rodrigiuz error keeps the fun rolling. 9-5. In the bottom of the ninth it will be the top of the order, if they ever get there. The Yankees have struggled with this last out for the last 3 runs. All right, Crawford caught stealing, the responce...Jeter single, Damon double, Teixeira 2 run double, Rodriguez ground out, Posada fly out, and Cano fly out. Final 9-7.
Sabathia pitched 8 innings givings up 5 runs, 4 earned, off of 5 hits with 3 walks and 5 strike outs. Teixeira went 2-5 with a home run and 2 RBI double. Rodriguez went 1-3 with a home run and scoreing 2. It was a good game, except for the ninth inning pitching.

Game 57, Gainst the Rays, Rained out
This is the third Yankees game that has been rained out at New Yankee Stadium. There isn't a make up day yet. Sabathia will have his start tomorrow and Burnett will start on Tuesday against the Red Sox, to honor his suspention, and Pettitte will pitch on Monday. So the Yankees won't play tonight. Oh well, lets just hope the Red Sox lose so the Yankees can have first place without having to win and tie it again.
What do you know, the Rangers beat the Red Sox 5-1, sweet. So the Yankees are half a game up without doing anything. The Yankees are back where they should be, uncontested first place.
There will not be a double header on Saturday for sure. But both games on Saturday and Sunday are scheduled to be at 1:05 so Sunday would be a good time to make it up.

Game 51, Gainst the Indians, In Cleveland
Sabathia is pitching tonight. His last start was pretty good.
The Yankees start it off right in the second. Posada homers and then Swisher homers to give the Yankees a 2-0 lead. In the forth Matsui doubles, Swisher is walked, and Gardner gets on by error. Jeter singles to score Matsui and Swisher. Damon singles to score Gardner. Teixeira reaches on feilders choice, Jeter out at home, and Rodriguez is walked. Cano hits Damon and Teixeira home but Rodriguez is out at third. 7-0.
After about 5 singles in the fifth the Indians score 2. In the sixth Gardner walks and Jeter singles. Damon grounds out to score Garnder. Sizemore hits a homer in the bottom of the frame. 8-3.
In the ninth Teixeira doubles and Cano hits him home with a single but advances to second on the throw. Matsui hits Cano home with a double of his own. The Indians score 2 in the bottom of the ninth with a homer and a double to score. 10-5 final.
Sabathia pitched 7 innings giving up only earned runs off of 5 hits with 3 walks but 8 strike outs. Not his best start but it gave the bulllpen a bit of a break. Cano was 2-5 with 3 RBIs and scored a run. Matsui was 3-5 with an RBI and scoring a run. Swisher was 1-4 with a walk and an RBI and scoring 2 runs, batting 8th.
Tomorrow Hughes takes on the Indians. 12:40, on TBS.

Around the Division, Can't Prevent Losing First Place
So the Red Sox beat the Twins today a stunning 3-1 victory. The Yankees could do nothing but sit on their hands at the Cleveland Cavaliers game 5 tonight and watch as first place came and went. Anyways, the Indians finish the sweep of the Rays today with a 1-2 win. Rays have lost, I think, 17 straight in Cleveland. Jacobs field when I went there, now Progressive. Right?
So as the Yankees fight for their first place title again, and wins to help that cause against the Indians, the Red Sox take on the falling Blue Jays who have lost 9 straight now, which started with a sweep from the Red Sox last week. The embarrassed Rays play the Twins this weekend and Baltimore plays the Tigers.
The Yankees play the Indians in Cleveland this weekend. It will be a 4 game series, starting with Pettitte pitching tomorrow, the 29th, against Cliff Lee. On Saturdays game the Indians line up goes against Sabathia. That'll be fun. And on Sunday Hughes will take the mound for the Yankees. Mondays game is yet to be announced but I am guessing it will either be Joba or Wang. Wow, Wang and the Indians. Bad memories there. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Game 46, Gainst the Phillies, Decide the Series
CC Sabathia starts today at Yankee Stadium. He will pitch the final game that decides who wins the series against the World Champion Phillies. He starts against the Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels. In Sabathia's last start he held the Orioles to just 1 run and 3 hits in a 9-1 victory last week. Lets see how this one goes.
The Phillies score 2 in the third off a single, a double and another single. The Yankees get 1 back in the bottom of the inning with two doubles, Gardner, who scored, and Damon, with the RBI. In the sixth the Phillies score another with a single and a double. Teixeira scores 1 for the Yankees in the bottom with a home run.
The Yankees don't catch up to the Phillies until the ninth again tonight. Cano singled and Cabrera singled him in after Pena pitch ran and stole second. 3-3 in the top of the tenth.
In the top of the eleventh Tomko walked 2 and gave up a hit, and the tie, and the win to the Phillies. 4-3 final.
Sabathia had a good start, not his best, but still good. He gave up 3 earned runs off of 9 hits with 0 walks and only 4 strike outs. Jeter had a good game going 3-5. Cabrera also went 3-5 with an RBI, the game tying 1 in the ninth. Rodriguez and Matsui went 0-4 with 3 strike outs and 0-5 with 2 strike outs. Good game for the power hitters I guess.

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 31, at Baltimore, A-Rod Back!
With one swing of the bat Alex Rodriguez is back in the MLB. First pitch of his first game back, with 2 on, Alex hit a 3 run homer. I feel like the Yankees are back. Anyways, the game slows down after that and the next run from either team isn't scored until Damons double to score Cervelli, catcher for Molina, in the seventh. 4-0
CC Sabathia pitches an entire game giving up only 4 hits, 1 walk with 0 earned runs. Wow, great game for him. He only had 7 strike outs for nine innings and 3 of them were to get the final 3 outs. The Yankees line up has awaken a little bit. Cano was 2-4, Swisher got a hit and a walk. Jeter went 0-5 with a walk, Teixeira went 0-3 with a walk and 3 strike outs. So a little woken up. shifting from team mate to team mate. 4-0 final.

Game 25, at Home, Gainst the Angels, The Game
CC Sabathia pitches today against the Angels, against Matt Palmer. 4.95 vs 5.68.
Sabathia has a very strong first inning, striking out 2. After Jeter is hit by a pitch and Teixeira is walked, Matsui hits a single to score Jeter. The second inning is not as strong as the first for Sabathia. After a walk he gives up 2 singles but no runs. He got out of the inning with the bases loaded. Sweet.
In the sixth inning, after a Jeter throwing error, 1 Angel run scores to tie up the game. It is unearned, but the damage is done. The Angels score 4 more in the seventh, 1 in the eighth, and 2 in the ninth. The Yankees score 3 in the ninth with a Posada 2 run homer and Jeter reaching on an error. But the damage is to much. The Yankees fall 8-4.
Sabathia had a good start but it all fell apart in the seventh. He let in 4 earned runs off of 8 hiits with 1 walk and 5 strike outs. Trouble with the line up. Only 4 hits, Teixeira 0-4, Damon 0-5, Cano 0-4. Oh jeepers. Posada's the only Yankee who looked good with a 2 run homer in the ninth, his only hit. Get it together for tomorrow and Monday and Tuesday against the Rer Sox.

CC, A-Rod, and Swisher stuff
CC pitches tonight against the Angels. He comes in tonight with a 1-2 record and a 4.73 ERA. "I need to make them put it in play, make them earn it, instead of giving it to them," Sabathia said. "It's a lot easier to live with it when you get beat, and they were hitting the balls and having good at-bats, as opposed to putting them on and struggling. I'm just trying to be too fine and make the perfect pitch." Well I don't know about you but that seems pretty accurate to what he has been doing. CC has always had the right attitude, he just needs his right pitches and to feel comfortable.
Wow didn't know I could do that ^. Well there you have it. Make your own conclusions about his slow starts.
"The search for proper bullpen help continued for Yankees manager Joe Girardi on Friday night, when, lacking any more trustworthy alternatives, he called on rookie Mark Melancon to hold a lead in the sixth inning. One pitch later, the Bombers no longer held a lead."
This was when I was like, "Who is this guy? I don't think bringing in someone new with the bases loaded is such a good idea. (triple) ah crap." Anyways, the article I got this from was saying that the bull pen needs a break and CC is supposed to help tonight. And by help I mean not need to use them.
So A-Rod is feeling better, but he isn't hitting as good as I had hoped. Ya I know he just had surgery, but 1-6 in a game, only hit a home run, and 0-3 in another. Come on, feel the pitches A-Rod. Hope you can help the Yankees out after all.
I was right! They don't give you much information on those MLB.com gameday things but when I saw Swisher got hit and he needed a delay of game, I knew it was trouble. He left before the third inning after getting hit in the elbow in the first inning. The article says he will be back soon.

Game 20, at Detroit
All right, coming off a bad weekend the week doesn't look much better. With a loss today the Yankees fall back under .500, sweet. They are looking good. 9-10 after their pathetic display today. Not scoring until the ninth with 10 strike outs and many players going 1-4. Sweet, despite the teams drought, Cano went 2-4 with a double today and scored one of the 2 runs. Good for him, he was my favorite player even during his under preformance last year and it's paying off now.
Sabathia had 7 strike outs with only 4 earned runs off of 6 hits and 0 walks. Great pitching, this is one of the games where it wasn't pitching that lost the game. The line up didn't wake up until the top of the ninth and by that time it was too late. Lets hope to win both the next 2 in Detroit and get back over .500. I am getting sick of all these Red Sox fans here. They finally have something to be happy about this season.

Game 16 at Home, Gainst the Athletics
Athletics strike first in the third, hitting a 3 run homer. In the bottom, the Yankees get 2 back off a Matsui home run, and a Cabrera home run.
In the third the Athletics get one more, but the Yankees come back and score 2 with an RBI out from Cano and a RBI single for Swisher. Derek Jeter hits a home run in the forth to give the Yankees their first lead of the game. 4-5.
The Athletics are still in it, scoring 1 in the sixth and 2 in the seventh while the Yankees only score 2 in the sixth with a Ransom RBI double then a Jeter RBI double. 7-7 until fourteenth.
After nothing for four and a half extra innings, Swisher walks and Cabrera hits him home. Game winner, walk off home run. 7-9 final.
Cabrera had a great night with 2 home runs and 3 RBIs. Sabathia went 6.2 innings, 7 runs, with 4 walks and 2 strike outs. Come on 4 walks? Man get your pitches right, please.
Rivera pitched the ninth but it was not a save opportunity. More of a dont make it harder for the line up to win opportunity.

Game 10, AT HOME! The Game
Its a slow start for both teams today, both having only scored 1 run before the sixth. The Indians scored first in the forth off a Shoppach double. The Yankees scored in the fifth off a Posada home run.
Sabathia pitched an all right 5.2 innings. He allowed 1 earned run on 5 hits with 4 strike outs and 5 walks. 5 walks? Come on Sabathia, lets get those walks down now, you're a Yankee in Yankee Stadium, no more of this Indians and Brewers stuff. Lets get the strike outs. Edwar Ramirez was put in in the sixth with two already out and loads the bases. Phil Coke is brought in to cool things down and get the third out. Veras was put in in the seventh and gave a walk on 4 pitches to start off then a double to move the runners to second and third.
Veras allows 2 runs with 0 strike outs and 1 walk. Good work. Marte is put in who loads the bases again, still no outs in the seventh. 1 run is let in by him. Marte walks in a run. 4-1. Gary Sizemore hits a grand slam. Wow bullpen looking good tonight. Then a home run by Martinez. Bullpen looking GREAT!!
Cano singles in the seventh to score Cabrera and show that the Yankees still have life. David Robertson comes in in the top of the eighth and strikes out 2 with a ground out. Why couldn't the rest of the bullpen do that just an inning ago? Come on now, pathetic.
Teixeira was taken out, replaced by Cabrera at 4th in the line up, and played in right field while Swisher went to 1st base. After going 0-2 with a strike out it is easy to see why. Maybe that wrist is still bothering him..?
Well I for one can not wait for Rodriguez to get back. After watching Ransom go 0-6 with 2 strike outs tonight, leaving 9 on base, it only reminded me that, somehow, this game could be closer, scorewise, than 10-2.

Game 10, AT HOME!
Today is the day New Yankee Stadium Opens! The Yankees take on the Indians behind their Ace, CC Sabathia. Sabathia will go up against Lee for the Indians, 1-1, 0-2 respectively.
Yogi Berra will throw out the first pitch in the New Yankee Stadium. There will be an opening ceremony lasting an hour before the opening pitch, I won't be able to watch it, but I'm sure people will enjoy what the Yankees have to offer.

Game 5 at Kansas City, The Game
In the first Posada doubles to score Damon from first and Swisher from second. In the third, Swisher triples to score Jeter from second then Posada scores Swisher from third with a double. Then in the fifth, Swisher hit a home run with Damon on first. 6-0. The Royals score 1 in the ninth to make the final 6-1.
Sabathia regains respect today, winning with 6 strike outs, 0 walks, and 0 earned runs. Thats how you win a game, only giving up 6 hits spread out in the 7.1 innings he pitched, good work CC.
Swisher had a big day today with 3 of the 6 RBIs, 2 off a 2 run homerun in the fifth inning. Posada had the other 3 with 2 comming from a first inning double. Alot of things clicked for the Yankees today, lets keep the ball rolling. 3-2 now...
Next game is tomorrow still in Kansas City at 2:10. Only number 5 of 15 straight.

Game 3 at Baltimore
Today is game three at Baltimore and as I look at the Yankees homepage I can't help thinking how much they're right. Burnett is counted on to avoid an Opening Series sweep. I did not think it would get this bad, avoiding a sweep by the Orioles. Burnett faces Baltimore pitcher Alfredo Simon today at 1:35
In other news Joba's DUI video surfaced yesterday and Joba could not have cared less. He was fine with everyone seeing his video, he knows what he did was wrong and he is moving on. I admire this man. When people get on my case for doing something wrong, I get defensive. Anyways Joba claims he is happy with his "second chance" and is greatful nothing with lasting effects happened while he was under the influence.
Wang, also out of swing, got his first lose last night. He didn't get out of the fourth with 7 earned runs, 3 walks, and ZERO strike outs. I am seeing a pattern with our starters, if it continues, tonight Burnett will pitch 2.2 innings, give up 8 runs, 2 walks with ZERO strikeouts. Now that just cannot happen.
During Sabathia's first start he was seen with a heating pad on his midsection. Many people got concerned because they thought he was hurt, welcome to New York, where our stars get hurt at the best of times. He claims he is not hurt, however, and that the heating pad was just to keep him warm. I hope for his sake is isn't hurt, come next Thursday, if he screws up, he will be hurting like he has never hurt before. Gotta have faith. Have faith...
