Game 87, Gainst the Twins...continuing..

Burnett starts tonight. He comes in with 99 season strike outs, hopin to get 100 and more.

In the second inning, Matsui singles, Posada singles, and Cano singled to load the bases. Swisher grounded out to score Matsui, but then Gardner does the real damage, hitting a single to score the Posada and Cano left on base. 3-0. The Twins get 2 of those back in the bottom of the forth, two out single, walk, two wild pitches and a double. 3-2. In the fifth Rodriguez hits a single to score Jeter from second. 4-2. In the bottom of the inning, Burnett gets his 100th strike out of the season. After taking Burnett out after 6.1 innings, Coke lets a HR go. 4-3.

Rivera was brought in for the 4 out save. After a line out to Jeter in the eighth, he gets his 22nd save after a ground out, strike out, and another line out to Jeter. Sweet.

Burnett gets the W by pitching 6.1 innings, gave up 2 earned runs off of 7 hits with 4 walks and 2 strike outs. Not a very strong outing for him. He got the first two outs of the innings, some with no problems. But he let on 7 runners after 2 outs, that shouldn't happen. 2 of those were his earned runs against.

Jeter went 2-5, scoring a run. Posada went 2-3 scoring a run. Gardner went 1-4 with a 2 run single. Sweet, slow low scoring game, but a win none-the-less.

Game 84, Game 3 of 4 gainst the Jays, and what a game it was.

Back and forth, Yankees come out on top of this high early scoring game.



In the first inning the Yankees get 2 runs after 2 singles and a walk loads the bases. Matsui gets on by an error and scores Jeter and Swisher scores Posada. In the second the Yankees get 2 more after loading the bases with 2 walks and a single. Posada singles to score Ransom and Jeter. 0-4.



Yikes after the Jays have a 3 run and a 5 run inning, Joba gets taken out. He was beat up today. Anyways the Yankees have two 3 run innings in a row. Teixeira walked and Posada singled in the forth and were hit home with a Matsui home run. In the fifth Jeter homers with Cabrera on base and Posada doubled Damon in. 8-10 Final. Great game.



Chamberlain pitched 3.2 innings, gave up 8 runs on 9 hits with 1 walk and 1 strike out. Wonder why he didn't get the win. Only 3 of the runs we're earned runs. Anyways, Alredo Aceves is the real hero of the game, pitching 4 innings, gave up only 1 hit with 5 strike outs.



Jeter went 4-5 scoring 3 runs with 2 RBIs and a HR. Posada went 4-5 scoring 2 runs with 3 RBIs. Matsui went 2-4 with scoring 1 run with 4 RBIs and a HR.

After a Jay double, homer, 2 walks and a 1 run single the score reads 5-3. But the Yankees keep pace with a single by Jeter and a home run by Damon to tie it back up at 5. The next run doesn't come in for either team until the twelth inning, when Posada comes up with 2 on, 1 out.

Game 70, Gainst the Marlins, In Florida

Jeter is back, but Rodriguez is sitting out with fatigue. Left side in field switch I guess.

Well the Yankees get off to a good start on the very first pitch. Jeter hits a ground rule double on the first pitch. Teixeira single moves him over to third and Posada's single scores him. Lets see if they can hold the early lead. 1-0. In the second, Cano singles, moves to second on a pop out by Cabrera. Cano is scored on a double by Berroa, playing for Rodriguez, and Berroa is scored thanks to a double by Pettitte, ya, Pettitte! Jeter singles after that to move Pettitte to third, and Damon singles to score him. In the third inning Melky Cabrera hit a home run. But in the bottom, the Marlins get a home run themselves. 5-1. And that will be the final.


Pettitte, one of his best starts of the season, went for 7 innings, gave up 1 run on only 3 hits, with 0 strike outs, and 7 strike outs! Great start for him. All of the Yankees got at least 1 hit. Damon and Teixeira went 2-5 all 4 singles. Jeter and Posada went 2-4.

Game 50, Gainst the Indains, in Cleveland

Pettitte pitches tonight against Cliff Lee. Lets get another win.

In the second the Yankees get 2 with many singles. Swisher walks, Gardner singles, Jeter singles (to score Swisher), Damon singles, and Teixeira grounds out to score Gardner. In the third Cano singles, then Posada singles, then Matsui grounds out to advance the runners and Swisher goes out on a sacrifice fly. The Indians get 1 in the sixth. Final 3-1.

Pettitte pitched 5 innings gave up 1 earned run on 6 hits with 5 walks and 1 strike out. Not his strongest start but I'll take it. Rivera got another save. That is 492 I believe.

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 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 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.

Game 15 at Home, Gainst the Athletics

Yankees strike first in the second. After a Swisher walk and Matsui double, a Gardner single scores both of them. With Jeter batting, Gardner steals second, then a Jeter single gets him to third. Damon singles to score Gardner, then Teixeira singles to score Jeter.

The Athletics score 2 in the forth on a couple singles and what not. Damon hits a home run in the sixth. Final score 3-5.

Rivera got the one and only strike out in the ninth for the Yankees. It doesn't matter because Pettitte pitched great, giving only 2 runs with 0 walks.

Jeter went 2 for 4 with a walk and scoring a run. Posada also went 2 for 4. Matsui went 2 for 3 also with a walk and scoring a run.

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.
