Must have been some storm, rained out New York, Washington, and Philadelphia. No date for a make up game yet. Red Sox lost, which means the Rays won. Toledo won, where did they come from.
Selena Roberts book (if you can call it that), "A-Rod: the Many Lives of Alex Rodriquez " comes out tomorrow. Sweet, can't wait to see how that goes.
Phil Hughes to take on the Red Sox tomorrow at 7:05. On ESPN. Please don't embarrass yourselves Yankees. Come on, you've been doing so well this past weekend.

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.

Game 24, at Home, Gainst the Angels, the game
Pettitte vs Weaver. 2-1 vs 2-1. 2.96 vs 2.45. Sweet, lets have a good game Pettitte.
The Yankees get started early, taking advantage of 2 walks given to Jeter and Damon. Jeter scores on a Matsui fly, Damon scores on Cano single and Cano and Posada score on a Posada home run. 0-4.
The Angels get their damage done in the sixth, scoring six. 5 earned runs for Pettitte and one for Mark Melancon. I do not understand why managers take pitchers out after they load the bases. The first pitch Melancon threw turned out to be a triple.
In the first inning Nick Swisher was hit by a pitch and was taken out of the game in the third.
The Angels score 3 more in the seventh to give them a 9-4 lead. But the Yankees strike back with 4 in the eighth. After a Cano double and Posada walk Gardner singles to load the bases. Then Cabrera singles, scoring 1, Pena singles, scoring 2, and Jeter grounds out, scoreing 1 as well. 9-8.
With the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, 0 out, Posada hits a single on a 3-2 count to score Teixeira and Berroa. YANKEES WIN. How exciting. Great show.
Pettitte had an all right outing. 5.2 innings with 5 earned runs, 4 walks and only 2 strikeouts. Ok so it wasn't the best, not by a long shot, but the line up made it work and came back for a W.
Cano went 3-5 scoring 2 runs with 1 RBI. Posada went 2-4 with 1 walk and 4 RBIs, including the 2 game winning RBIs. Pena went 3-4 with 2 RBIs. Sweet deal. Great job.

Game 23, at Home gainst the Angels, The game
UPDATED 10:30 Bottom of page
Burnett looking for his 3rd win.
The Angels hit in the first run in the first but the Yankees quickly answer back with a Matsui single to drive in Teixeira. The Angels score 2 more in the second. Johnny Damon hits a home run in the third. 3-2. Derek Jeter singles to score Swisher and Pena in the forth. 3-4. Angels tie it up in the fifth.
In the eighth after a single by Cano, a ground rule double by Posada, and an intentional walk to Swisher, Cabrera hits a single to score Cano. With the bases still loaded Pena doubles and scores Posada and Swisher. 4-7.
Rivera came in in the ninth. This is how the game should have been ended last night, instead of bring in Albaladejo. Rivera pitched 14 pitches, 10 for strikes. He had 1 hit and 2 strikeouts.
Burnett started today, not as strong as many of his other starts, but enough to get it done. He allowed 4 runs with 8 hits, strike outs and 1 walk in 7 innings.
Pena went 2-4 with a double and 2 RBIs. Swisher went 1-2 with 2 walks and scored twice. All the Yankees had at least 1 hit.
Next game is tomorrow at 7:05 against the Angels.
UPDATE: Red Sox lost 13-0 in Tampa Bay tonight. The only hit for the Red Sox was Ellsbury in the seventh. In the eighth inning the Red Sox took out Lopes(P) and put in Van Every(RF) to pitch. Sound familiar? Good job Red Sox.

Game 22, at Detroit, the Game
Joba pitches tonight.
The Tigers get a little lead in the third, but the Yankees get it back, with style. In the forth score 7 with a Swisher 3 run homerun, a Damon RBI double, and a Matsui 3 RBI double. Then in the fifth Swisher gets another homerun as an insurance run, again.
Fire confusion in Detroit tonight. The fire alarm has gone off in the Tigers ballpark in the eighth inning. Wow that was interesting, people started leaving the field and the players started to get off the field.
Well I was surprised with Girardi's decision to have Jonathan Albaladejo stay in after throwing 8 balls and 2 strikes, 1 as a hit for a double. Finally taken out after 3 hits, 2 earned runs and only 24 pitches, 11 for strikes. Wow, Rivera comes in with 1 out remaining. And a three run home run. All right, just one more out, come on.
Anyways, Joba pitched for 7 innings with only 3 hits and allowing 1 run with 3 walks and 6 strike outs. Damon went 2-4 with an RBI and as a run, Matsui went 1-2 but made it count with a 3 RBI double. Swisher went 2-5, both hits as home runs with 4 RBIs. Boy did they need them, Tigers almost caught back up. Interesting.
Next game tomorrow at home against the LA Angels. Burnett goes for another win at home at 7:05.

Game 7 at Tampa Bay, Wang, Riguez, and a whole lot more
Chien-Ming Wang goes for his first win tonight. Lets hope he can keep the Rays on a tight leash tonight, then the line up can get it for him. Still hitting 4 runs a game, if the bullpen can finish the game without a problem light last night, he'll get it. Kazmir got a win his first start, with a 1.50 ERA. That makes Wangs ERA of 17.18 look astronomical. Oh boy, it'll be intresting tonight.
Rodriguez is back in action, kind of. He did a 50 minute workout and felt good. I just hope when he gets back hes better than ever.
In other news Beckett, for the Red Sox, is an IDIOT! Wow thats great, throwing a ball right at Bobby Abreu's head. "That was as flagrant as anything I've seen in this game," Mike Scioscia, the Angels Manager, said. I guess Beckett was taking a long time to get set up, which set Abreu to call time, which the umpire gave him, and Becketts throw was way off the mark, Being set up low and away by Varitek. Then after the ball was thrown fingers were pointed Beckett was upset, came to home plate and started "talking smack" to Abreu. Boy that makes me kind of happy, Becketts just showing the Red Sox for what they really are. Angels won 5-4 dispite having 3 starters thrown out.

Opening Day Yesterday, What I get from it.
So CC Sabathia did not have command of his fast ball. Did anyone else see it in the first when Sabathia walked Jones, wild pitch in there for a ball, and then threw another wild pitch two batters later. I thought for sure he'd only make it three innings, but then when they left him in for 4.1? I'm sorry but if a starter is not "in command" of the only pitch he can get in for strikes, take him out. Nothing like trying to catch up to a runaway team.
Good side to yesterdays disappointment was that the Yankees were hitting. Jeter was 3-5, Damon was 2-3, Swisher hit a double the only time he was up, Posada and Matsui hit home runs, and 11 hits all together. Also, the Yankees had 12 flyout which is a negative statistic, but if the hits had dropped it would have been a different game.
But for all the goods there is something bad, Teixeira 0-4, those home runs were the only things Posada and Matsui hit, and Ransom was 0-3. Whoa boy, good thing they have an off day today. A lot of thinking I'd be doing if I had a game like that. Time to calm down and get it right on Wednesday.
Side note, Angels starter Saunders looked great with only 3 hits in 6.2 innings. Also, Dodgers starter yesterday, Kuroda, had a good start with only 4 hits and 1 earned run in 5.2 innings.
I am interested in seeing how the reigning AL Champions do against the Red Soxs today, delayed from yesterday. Unfortunately one of them has to win. Can't they both just have a loss? Oh well...
Oh and North Carolina NCAA Champs. Finally it's over.

5 Days Before Opening Day
Today was the mark of the end of the spring training season. The Yankees celebrated their last game at home with a win over the Philadelphia Phillies 8-5. The Yankees had 9 hits, 3 of which came off the bat of Mark Teixeira, who went 3 for 3 with 3 RBIs. he finishes the spring training with an avg. of 444, good for him. Matsui also had a big day going 2 for 3 with 2 RBIs. Sabathia gets his third win for spring training pitching 3.2 innings with 5 strike outs.
I put last night that I might be the only one who thinks the Cubs won't make the playoffs. Well I stand by that and here are my predictions for the post season:
AL EAST Red Soxs, with Yankees Wild Card
AL CENTRAL White Soxs
AL WEST Angels
NL EAST Braves
NL CENTRAL Cardinals, with Brewers Wild Card
NL WEST Dodgers
AL CHAMPIONS Yankees, NL CHAMPIONS Dodgers
Reasons; The Yankees, Angels, Brewers, Braves, Cardinals, and Red Soxs all did very well during spring Training, finishing at the top of their respected leagues. The reasons why I choose the Dodgers and White Soxs before the others is because the Dodgers, with Manny, will be a lot better this year at the beginning and won't have the worst record going into the playoffs like last year. The White Soxs I through in for some variety, if nothing else.
The next game is against the Cubs on Friday which won't be on ESPN which I am very disappointed about. Anyways it will prolly be on WGN for all of you Chicago people. Nope, just checked, I guess its not on WGN..? Anyways, I will be in Fort Wayne that day, trying to check up on the score if I could, not likely though.
