Game 44, Gainst the Phillies

The Yankees take on the World Champions tonight, first game of a 3 game series.

4 home runs win it for the Phillies. Yikes, 1 in the first, 2 run in the second, 2 run in the fifth, and another one in the seventh. Yankees had only had 3 single home runs. Rodriguez in the sixth and Jeter and Teixeira in the seventh. Couldn't help the lose.

Burnette 5 earned runs off 8 hits with 2 walks with 7 strike outs in 6 innings. Man this should have been a win. Rodriguez went 2-4 with a double and a home run. Jeter and Teixeira also went 2-4 with home runs. Swisher went 0-4 with 2 strike outs. uh oh.

Tomorrows game is at 4:10. Pettitte is starting. Come on win!

Game 43, Gainst the Orioles, at home, going for the Sweep

After just 2 outs, 14 pitches, Joba Chamberlain is done for the night. A pitch hit right back to him hit him in the knee and he was taken out 2 singles later. Does this count for a win if the Yankees score in the first and keep the lead. We'll find out.

In the bottom of the first Jeter doubles, Cano doubles to score Jeter, and Teixeira doubles to score Cano. Thats right, Cano's batting second this game. Damon is not in the line up at all tonight. After two outs, Swisher walks and Cabrera doubles to score Teixeira and Swisher but is called out at third on the throw. Trying to stretch it a little to far.

In the second Cano homers with Gardner on base. 0-6. In the fifth the Orioles get 1 from a home run but Matsui evens it back out with a home run of his own. The Orioles get 2 more in the sixth and 1 more in the seventh to make the games final 4-7. 9 straight.

Joba does not get the win. Surprise, Alfredo Aceves gets the win, finishing the first inning and three more. Rivera gets his ninth save tonight, 491 total. Cano went 3-4 with a home run and 3 RBIs. Teixeira went 2-3 with an RBI and scored a run. Rodriguez went 0-4.

Yankees play the World Champions tomorrow. The Phillies in New Yankee Stadium. Burnett, lets have a good game.

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.
