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 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.

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.
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.

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 52, Gainst the Indians, 3 of 4
Hughes starts and he does start well. Two strike outs in the first, two in the second, and two in the forth.
The Indians get 3 runs in the inning that Hughes pitched no strike outs. In the third he allows 3 hits, a walk, hit by pitch and a sacrifice fly. Then the Indians get 1 more in the fifth off a double, a single and a sacrifice fly. The Yankees finally get 2 in the sixth with a single by Damon and a homer by Teixeira. Then in the eighth the Yankees get 2 more with a Jeter single, a Damon double and a Teixeira double. So far Teixeira has hit all 4 Yankee runs in. 4-4 in the ninth. But the Indians won with a single in the ninth. 4-5 final.
Phil Hughes had an all right start. He allows 4 runs off 5 hits with 1 walk and 6 strike outs. Wang takes over in the sixth. He allows 1 hit with 1 walk and 3 strike outs in 3 innings. His ERA is down to 16.07. Much better than his 32 he had just 2 games hes been in ago. Robertson gives up the game winning hit but its Cokes earned run, giving up the walk in the beginning of the inning.
Teixeira has a 4 RBI game with a home run and a 2 RBI double. Jeter was 2-4 with a double in the first and a single. Damon was also 2-4 with a double and a single. Swisher was 1-3 with 2 strike outs. Sweet. So the Yankees need to win tomorrow to win the series and stay ahead of the winner of the Red Sox Blue Jays game.

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 47, Gainst the Ranger, Hughes day
Phil Hughes starts tonight. trying to improve his 2-2 record.
Well the Yankees start their bats early tonight. Jeter doubles, Damon singles, Teixeira doubles, and Rodriguez singles to start off the game. 4 straight hits in the first gives them a 2-0 lead early.
In the third Damon doubles to start off the inning and Teixeira walks to bring up Rodriguez again. He doubles to bring in Damon. Then Cano triples to bring in the 2 on base. Swisher grounds out to bring in Cano. Alex Rodriguez singles in the fifth and Cabrera singles to get him to third base and Swisher hits him home for another run. 7-0.
In the sixth inning Jeter walks, Damon walks and Teixeira singles to score Jeter. Rodriguez doubles to score Damon and Teixeira. Teixeira hit by a pitch to start off the eighth. Roriguez singles, Cano singles and Nick Swisher is the one to score the RBI. He goes out with a sacrifice fly to score Teixeira. 11-0 after eight.
Phil hughes taken out in the ninth. Won't finish his shut out win. Yikes, I'd have left him in, get his confidence through the roof. Anyways, Alfredo Aceves gives up the only run to the Rangers of the game. A home run to Nelson Cruz in the ninth. Final 11-1.
Phil Hughes pitched 8 innings gave up 0 runs off of 3 hits with only 1 walk and 6 strike outs. I am pretty sure this game was the best start by any starter for the Yankees. I guess i am kind of glad Wang had 2 disgusting games. Hughes has 3 wins now.
Rodriguez went 5-5 with 2 doubles and 3 singles. He scored 2 of the runs and had 4 RBIs. Cash also had a good game going 3-5 with 3 singles. 11 runs scored by the Yankees off of no home runs. 0 home runs for the Yankees and 11 runs. I am impressed.

Game 42, Gainst the Orioles, at Home
The first game I can see on gameday in almost a week. Hughes vs. Guthrie. Sweet, lets get your second win Hughes.
Damon walks and that comes back to bite Guthrie. Teixeira hits a double to score the walked base runner. 0-1. In the second Swisher, Cano, and Cabrera add to that lead with back to back to back home runs. 0-4. In the third, after a walk to Rodriguez and Swisher, Cano hits a single to score Rodriguez. Hughes gives up 2 in the forth and 1 in the fifth after a single and 2 home runs. 3-5
After a Rodriguez walk, Matsui single, and a Swisher walk, Cano singled, Cabrera singled, and Cash hit a sacrifice fly. Jeter doubled to clear the bases further, hitting in Cano and Cabrera. Damon hits in Jeter with a single in the next at bat. 3-11. After a home run in the ninth the final is 4-11.
Hughes gets his second win giving up 3 earned runs, 6 hits, with 1 walk and 9 strike outs. Rivera gets his 490th save tonight by pitching for the last batter in the ninth when the lead was still only 2 runs. Swisher went 1-2 with 2 walks, his hit being a home run. Cano went 3-4 with 3 RBIs. Cabrera went 2-4 scoring 2 runs and hitting a home run. Rodriguez and Teixeiras home run streaks come to an end tonight but with 3 back to back to back home runs coming from further down the line up. Good win. 8 STRAIGHT!!

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 27, at Home, gainst the Red Sox.
Hughes could be looking better. In the first, 2 walks, 1 unearned run on a wild pitch. Great. Yankees line up better be awake. Sweet. Doesn't look like it against. 3 strike outs doesn't show that you're awake. Gonna be a long game.
A Lowell home run makes it 2-0. Then a run in the third, then a run in the forth. 4-0.
Damon and Teixeira come through tonight, hitting home runs in the fifth to cut the lead to a forth. Come on keep it going Teixeira..Aprils over. Well just when i thought it was getting good the Red Sox score 2 more. 6-3.
Teixeira hits another home run off the first pitch in the eighth to make it 6-4. And thats how it ends. I must say though. The home plate ump really messed up. Whatever though, congrats Red Sox. Got another one. When the Yankees go 0-18 in the season and 3-0 in the playoffs itll be fine.
I am still confused as to why they took out Posasa for Matsui. 2-2 with a walk for a strikeout. Sweet.

game 26, at Home, gainst the Angels. Rained out.
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 22, at Detroit, Joba goes for first decided, NY trip soon?
Joba Chamberlain takes on Rick Porcello. An undecided to a 1-2. After the Yankees most powerful inning of the season, Joba takes over for game 3 of this 1-1 series. Lets go Joba get a decided game, and by decided game I mean Win. Game starts at 7:05 tonight, ESPN.
Wow, taking a look at the new ticket plans for New Yankee Stadium, I might head out to NY this year. Many prices cut, season ticket holder getting twice as many seats. No joke the economy is effecting everyone and everything. Many tickets were cut down 40%. The only reason why they are talking about this on ESPN is, come on, they're the Yankees. Anyone else and chances are it'd be lost in that teams news archives. Oh well, everyone's got to have their piece of the best I guess.
Hughes, so Hughes might take Joba's starter spot and move Joba back to the eighth inning reliever spot. Fine with me, I'm predicting Joba will be the closer after Rivera.
In other news, Red Sox snap streak with a Pitching error. Sweet, Jacoby Ellsbury, Red Sox Hero, 1-5 with a strike out. David Ortiz, 1-4, still homerunless.

Game 21, at Detroit, Hughes, Who's Hurt, and Rivera
Phil Hughes came from the minors to help out the Yankees starters tonight, and boy he made it interesting. Real pitchers battle tonight in Detroit with only 4 Yankee hits and 2 Tiger hits in the first six innings.
In the seventh the Yankees break it wide open, with a Posada double error, Swisher and Cabrera score. Then Johnny Damon singles to score Berroa, running for Posada. Then Matsui singles to score Jeter, Cano singles to score Damon, Swisher's second at bat in the inning walks to load the bases up. With a Cabrera walk, Matsui scores. With bases loaded Molina hits a grand slam! 10-0.
And as if it wasn't enough, Swisher homers in the ninth. Insurance run i guess.
Phil Hughes you came out of no where tonight, and boy did the Yankees need it. 6.0 innings, only 2 hits! 2 walks and 6 strike outs.
Swisher, great game! 2-3, 2 walks, home run, Cabrera, also 2-3 also 2 walks, and an RBI. Molina, 1 hit but you made it count, 4 RBIs!
Today I noticed in the Yankees news that pretty much every other headline was that someone was hurt. Damon with "aches", Posada with hamstring issues, Rodriguez and Wang with their hips, yikes, they are getting old. So Damon missed a couple, Posada misses tonight, Rodriguez is still out until mid May, and Wang placed on 15 day DL.
Anyways, Rivera has 486 saves. Wow I had no idea he was so close to 500. Well good for him, I'll be keeping track of that.
