The second inning starts off with a walk to Rodriguez. After he steals second, Posada is hit by a pitch and Cano reaches on an error. Ransom walks to score 1, Garder grounds out to score another, and Jeter singles to score a third. The Twins get 2 back with a home run, walk and an error. 3-2. In the forth the Yankees get 2 more with a single by Posada, a double by Cano, a Ransom RBI single, and a Garnder RBI single. The Twins also get 2 runs with a double, single and to many walks. 5-4. Teixeira homers in the sixth to make it 6-4. Final.
Aceves doesn't have the perfect game, doesn't even get the w, but keeps the game from getting out of hand. He allows 4 runs on 4 hits with 1 walk and 2 strike outs in 3.1 innings.
All the Yankee starters had a hit today except Swisher. Teixeira had a HR, Cano had a double, Cabrera had a double, the rest singles, and RBI singles.
From a 4 game series, 3 walk off wins, to a 3 game series where the Yankees have never lost the lead, the Yankees have played the Twins perfectly this season. Well, the Yankees have let the runs scores, have made their errors, but the record shows perfection. 7-0.

Game 78, Gainst the Mets, Subway Sweep complete, Mo 500!!
I saw the first 2 innings of this game in a resturant in Ft Wayne, then I listened to the next 6 innings in the car on my way home to South Bend, then I saw the last inning at home. I was hopeing, wishing, praying that it would all work out for Wang and Rivera on the same night, and it did in a big sweet way.
Before Wang had to throw his first pitch the Yankees gave him some breathing room. In the first, Jeter starts off with a double. He beats out the throw to third to get Swisher on with a fielders choice. Teixeira hits a 2 run double and is scored after advancing to third on a Cano ground out and scores on a Posada sacrifice fly. 3-0.
The Mets get 2 in the forth after a walk, double, ground out and single. 3-2. The next and final run doesn't happen until the ninth inning.
Posada singles, Cabrera force out, Gardner walk, Damon line out, Jeter intentional walk. Bases loaded, 2 out for Mariano Rivera. He works a full count with a nice cut foul ball in there. Ball four! Rivera gets an RBI with a walk! 4-2 Final, Wang gets the win, Rivera gets number 500!!!!
Wang pitched 5.1 innings, gave up 2 runs on 4 hits with 3 walks and 3 strike outs. He is now 1-6 with an ERA of 10.06, 1 more batter and he might have dropped down to single digits... River pitched for the last 4 batters with 2 strike outs and 2 ground outs he gets his 500th career save!
Jeter went 1-2 with a double and 3 walks. Swisher went 1-2 with 1 walk. He was taken out during the sixth inning to switch around the out field and pitching spot in the line up. Teixeira went 1-4 but his hit was a 2 run double! Not a great game but a win none the less.
5 straight!

Game 71, Gainst the Marlins, in Florida
Burnette pitches tonight. Alex Rodriguez shall sit out tonight again.
In the second Burnette gives up a home run. 0-1. Then in the sixth, after a walk and an error by Damon in the field, the Marlins get another run. 0-2. In the seventh the Yankees get one after a Posada gets on out of fielders choice, moves over to third on a Cano single, then scores on a Swisher single. 1-2, Final.
Burnette pitched 6.1 innings, gave up just 1 earned run, only 5 hits with 3 walks, all in the sixth, and 8 strike outs. That should have been a win, buddy, that is some mighty fine pitching. Teixeira, Cano, Swisher, Matsui, and Burnett were the only Yankees to get hits. Great.

Game 69, Gainst the Nationals, Decide the Series
Joba starts today, Jeter still out of the line out. Oh boy.
So Joba gives up 2 doubles in a row in the first, Nationals score 1. After a single and 3 walks in the forth, the Nationals get 1 scored by a walk. Then in the fifth after a double, ground out, and another double, the Nationals get a third. No responce from the Yankees, 3-0. Sweet.
Joba pitched 6 innings gave up 3 runs on 7 hits with 4 walks and 6 strike outs. I'd say good start on his part. The line up, on the other hand, better than last night, almost doubled the hits! None of them consecutive enough to have a run though. Cano and Swisher went 2-4. Swisher had a double and a single, Cano, 2 singles. Alright, lets please win against the Marlins. Please, please, please...

Game 60, Gainst the Rays, Determine the Winner of this Cut Shot Series
Last night on Sportscenter they were talking about the Yankees come from behind win. They said it was the 20th time the Yankees have come from behind to win. Fantastic, lets keep winning, even if you only get the lead in the eighth. Pettitte pitches tonight.
Yankees get a little early lead in the first with a Teixeira home run. 0-1. In the second inning, Cano leads off with a single and, after 2 outs, Swisher comes up and smacks a home run that would be a home run anywhere. 0-3. Rodriguez has an error at third, runner advances on wild pitch, and gets to third on a fly ball is hit home with a single, then a home run hits in 2 more. 3-3. In the bottom of the sixth Damon gives Pettitte the lead with a solo home run and some margin for victory if the Yankees can defend well. 3-4. In the bottom of the eighth, first pitch, Jeter hits an insurance home run. 3-5. Final
Pettitte does get the win with 6 innings pitched, giving up 3 runs off of 5 hits and 3 walks with 7 strike outs. The Yankees had 6 hits today, 4 of those home runs by 4 different Yankees. In order those Yankees are; Teixeira, Swisher, Damon, and Jeter. Cano had a single in the second and Swisher in the seventh. Swisher 2-3 HR 2 RBI.
Yankees move up to a full game ahead of the Red Sox going into a three game series in Fenway. We know how the Yankees have done against the Red Sox so far in this season. Just 1 win will keep put back the Yankees back in a tie, but 2 wins, still in first, 3 wins, Boston Massacre.

Game 59, Gainst the Rays, Even the Series..?
The Yankees will try to even the series today against the Rays in New Yankee Stadium. Rays took last nights game with an embarassing ninth inning mess up by the Yankees pen. Lets hope that doesn't happen again.
The Rays get the first run in the third from a double by Upton to score Brignac from first. 1-0. But as we know, in New Yankee Stadium, one swing can take back that lead. Swisher, first batter of the bottom of the third, ties up the game with a right feild home run. In the sixth inning the Rays get 2 more with singles, a walk, and a 2 RBI single. 3-1. In the bottom of the eighth two singles (Damon and Teixeira), two walks (Rodriguez and Cano), an error (Posada), and a force out (Matsui) turn into 3 runs for the Yankees, who retake the lead in. 3-4.
Rivera comes in in the ninth with a tiny lead. Well last night he couldn't hold the tie so lets hope he learned from his mistates. Ground out, strike out, ground out. Fantastic. The lead holds. Yankees win.
Joba pitched 6 innings giving up 3 runs off of 5 hits with 1 walk and 4 strike outs. He should have had the win, but the line up hits late I guess with another come from behind win. Aceves pitched 2 innings giving up 1 hit with 4 strike outs. He gets the win. Rivera gets his 13th save, sweet. Thats 495 total.
Damon was 2-4 with a double and scoreing a run. Swisher was 1-2 with a home run and 2 walks.
With the Yankees win today and the Red Sox loss to the Rangers, 6-3, the Yankees retake first place. Hold it this time!

Game 56, Gainst the Rangers, Decide the Series, also, Burnett Suspended
So Wang is pitching. I will not say anything about his three starts let's see if he can redeem himself.
Well the Yankees get off to a good start. With Jeter sitting out Damon takes the first spot in the line up. After working a full count he hits a home run to right field. 0-1 early. But in the third and the fourth the Rangers get 2 each and 1 in the fifth. 5-1. In the bottom of the fifth the Yankee bats woke up. Cervelli and Pena singles and a walk to Damon loads the bases. A walk to Swisher forces 1 run in and a Teixeira 3 RBI double forces the rest in. Rodriguez also singles to score Teixeira. 5-6 Yankees on top.
In the sixth another Ranger home run ties it up, but the eighth inning home run determines the winner. Melky Cabrera hits a home run after a walk to Cano for the lead and the eventual win. Melky Magic again. Final 6-8.
Wang gives up 5 earned runs off of 7 hits with only 1 walk and 5 strike outs. He had a great start considering what his last 3. I was expecting to look at the score and seeing double digits. Anyways, Swisher went 2-3 with a walk, RBI, and scoring a run. Sweet, he may be back. Teixeira went 2-4 with 3 RBIs and scoreing a run.
Burnett was suspended today for intentionally throwing a ball at Cruz's head last night. Bull! He is suspended for 6 games, 1 start pretty much, but I think that's crap. The Ranger pitcher intentionally threw at Teixeira for some history last year and hit him.

Game 55, Gainst the Rangers,
Well Pettitte in trouble early. 3 runs against in the first inning and another in the second it is 4-1 early in the game. The Yankees get their run on a Swisher double and an RBI single by Rodriguez. In the seventh Posada homers but it is not enough. 4-2 final.
Pettitte did not have a good start today. He gave up 4 earned runs on 7 hits 6 walks and only 6 strikeouts. Jeters hit streak is ended, going 0-4 tonight. Swisher went 2-3 scoring 1 of the runs and hitting a double. Posada went 2-4 with a home run.

Game 53, Final game gainst the Indians
Joba has his start in this series against the Indians.
The Yankees strike first in this game 4 with a walk to Gardner, a single from Jeter and a RBI double play from Swisher in the third. But the Indians break Jobas no hitter in the forth with a home run. 1-1 Not a scoring play but just amazing. Joba gets himself in a bit of trouble in the fifth with runners on first and second. A bunt attemp off the bat of Kelly Shoppach pops up to half way between third and the mound. Chamberlain leaps off the mound catches the ball on a dive and throws to second for the double play. For the third out, Posada catches Jamey Carroll stealing. Bad inning turned into a Yankee fire starter. Lets see how they handle it.
With a walk to Matsui, pinch hitting for Berroa, a walk to Gardner, and a walk to Jeter the Yankees score 2 with a Swisher single in the seventh. I feel alot better about the lineup now rather than last inning with three walks with no outs and no runs in. That was horrible. 3-1 now. Teixeira is intentionally walked to load the bases again. And this time Rodriguez hits a single to score Jeter and Swisher. Teixeira out at second over running the bases. So I guess that worked out for the Indians. In that inning, five walks and 2 singles turns into 4 runs for the Yankees. 5-1.
In the bottom of the frame the Indians get 1 with a ground out RBI. 5-2 final.
Joba Chamberlain pitches 8 innings giving up 2 runs off of 4 hits with 2 walks and 5 strike outs. Rivera pitched in the ninth getting his eleventh save of the year. 493 all time. The Yankees took 11 walks this game. Jeter was 2-3 with 2 walks scoring 1 run. Swisher was 2-4 with 2 RBIs, scoring a run, and a walk. Rodriguez was 1-4 with 2 RBIs, but 2 strike outs. Ouch. Could have been a better game but I'll take the win without a comeback from the Indians.
The end of this game marks the end of the Indians Yankees games for the season. After 8 games the record is 5-3 in favor of the Yankees. Done with 1, 13 AL teams to finish up with.
The Yankees now have the record for errorless games with 18 straight. Sweet, they are now headed home where earlier this year they won an entire 6 game homestand. Lets get some more, please.
Tomorrow the Yankees play the Rangers at home at 7:05. AJ Burnett starts against Padilla.
Wednesday Pettitte, with the Yankees best starting record (5-1) starts against Feldman at 7:05.
Thursday Sabathia takes on McCarthy at 1:05 to end the series.

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. Jeter went 2-5 with an RBI. Swisher went 1-2 with an RBI and scoreing a run. Posada, first day back, went 2-3 sweet. Good game. 2 consecutive.

Game 45, Gainst the Phillies
Both teams score 1 in the second, the Phillies scored one off a home run and Swisher had a ground out that scored Cano. The Phillies score 3 more in the fifth, though with a 3 run homer and Jeter gets 1 in the sixth. 4-2.
In the ninth inning Damon leads off with a walk and Rodriguez hits him home with a home run to tie the game at 4! Cano singles after that and brings up Cabrera. Cabrera singles to score Cano and it is another come from behind win with Cabrera being the clutch man! 4-5 final!
Pettitte started and he went for 7 innings giving up 4 earned runs off of 5 hits with 2 walks and 5 strike outs. It was a good start, the line up didn't wake up till the ninth inning I guess. Veras gets the win when I thought he was going to blow it in the ninth. Not blow it but make it worse for the line up. Anyways, Teixeira went 2-4, Gardner went 1-1 with a double but wasn't able to score, Swisher went 0-3 with a strike out. Come on Swisher, let it be April again for you. Had such a good start.

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 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 30, at Home, Gainst the Rays
And again a team gets runs in the first. Pettitte allows 2 home runs in the first inning then a 2 run home run in the third to give the Rays a 4-0 lead. The Yankees get 3 back in the 4 with a Molina double and a Damon double. And with how these last three games have been it can probably be said that they will not score anymore. Why can they only hit in one inning and have to catch up? We'll see what happens.
Matsui ties it up in the fifth with a home run but the Rays get it right back with a two out home run. Then in the seventh, with 2 outs, a Rays single, walk, and another single results to another run. 6-4, I wish the Yankees could score with 2 outs. With Jeter on base Damon hits a home run to tie it up 6-6 in the eighth. Sounds kind of familiar. Now all we need is to get to the tenth, leave a man on third and loss.
Won't even get that far. Rivera allows 2 home runs in the ninth and the Yankees offense falls flat. Another lose at New Yankee Stadium. Were is the hitting? Teixeira, 0-5, Cano, 0-5, Swisher, 0-4. I am certainly embarrassed to see my team, my obsession, play in such a manner. Starters can't get out of the first inning unharmed, Relievers giving up more runs than starters, Closer blowing saves, Hitters not doing anything. Wow, well I cannot defend the Yankees when I debate anymore. Not the way they're playing at home, in the division, in the MLB. Embarrassing. Losing record at home now, Losing record on the road. 13-15 overall. Despicable.

Game 29, at home, Gainst the Rays
Well Burnette has a good game, allowing only 3 runs on 6 hits with 2 walks and 8 strikeouts. The line up didn't wake up until the eighth and scored 3 runs on a Teixeira double. Good hit for him. The Yankees couldn't hold the tie though and Coke lost it with a home run hit off him in the tenth. Final 4-3. Coke is awarded the L.
Jeter was 0-5, Swisher was 0-3, Cabrera was 0-3. What the heck is going on? Were did all the hitting go? It's like they do great loss to the Red Sox and can't hit anymore. I am a little fed up with hearing all the "true" 2004 Red Sox fans talk about a 0-5 series. Sweet. WIN SOME!!

Game 28, at Home, gainst the Red Sox.
Well it is a rough start for Joba. 5 straight hits, 4 earned runs. After that, though, he gets down to business and enjoys 12 strike outs in 5.2 innings. The Yankees get 3 in the third to try and catch up off a Damon 3 run homer. In the eighth an intent walk to Drew, who already struck out twice, may have lead to 2 runs being scored. I was really confused that they did that. Oh well. 5-3.
In the ninth, Melancon walks the bases loaded with no outs. Robertson does a great job, getting 2 outs but can't hold off a walk. And thats how it ends. 7-3. 0-5 against the Red Sox so far. Doing really good. I just hope the Yankees beat can win 3 in the play offs against them. We shall see.
Joba had a rough start but cleaned up with 12 Ks before being taken out. I thought it was a bit early to take him out, because the 2 outs in the inning were strike outs. Weird.
Bullpen probably won't be an option, having 6 pitchers after the starter. Damon had a good game 2-4 with the 3 RBIs of the game. Cano and Swisher in a 2 game slump. How convenient. Cabrera was 3-4.
Burnett pitching tomorrow against the Rays at home. Come on win!! Please oh please! 7:05.
