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 57, Gainst the Rays, Rained out
This is the third Yankees game that has been rained out at New Yankee Stadium. There isn't a make up day yet. Sabathia will have his start tomorrow and Burnett will start on Tuesday against the Red Sox, to honor his suspention, and Pettitte will pitch on Monday. So the Yankees won't play tonight. Oh well, lets just hope the Red Sox lose so the Yankees can have first place without having to win and tie it again.
What do you know, the Rangers beat the Red Sox 5-1, sweet. So the Yankees are half a game up without doing anything. The Yankees are back where they should be, uncontested first place.
There will not be a double header on Saturday for sure. But both games on Saturday and Sunday are scheduled to be at 1:05 so Sunday would be a good time to make it up.

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.

Game 49, Gainst the Rangers, Decide the Winner
Burnett starts tonight. Goes for his 3rd win. Also a win for the Yankees and a loss for the Red Sox ties up the division.
The Yankees bats start early again, like Mondays game. Jeter singles and Teixeira homers for a 2-0 lead early in the first inning. The Yankees add on another in the second with a double by Kevin Cash and a double by Jeter to score.
In the sixth Matsui hits a home run to start the inning and the Yankees get 2 more after a walk to Swisher, a single bunt to Gardner (supposed to be sacrifice bunt) and a 2 run single to Cash. 6-0 after six played.
In the seventh inning Cano doubles to start off and Matsui hits another home run to make it 8-0. But the Rangers aren't silent all night. After taking Burnett out in the sixth, Veras gives up a double and a home run to get the Rangers on the board. 8-2
In the ninth Cano hits a 2 strike home run as an insurance run. 9-2, Final.
Burnett pitched 6 shut outs innings giving up only 3 hits but had 4 walks and 7 strike outs. Good, but not perfect. Wang pitched the eighth and the ninth and gave up no runs!! He had 2 strike outs, 2 fly outs, and 2 ground outs.
Jeter got on base 5 out of 6 times but was only scored once. He was 3-4 with 2 walks. Matsui was 2-4 with 2 home runs in back to back innings. Cash was 2-4 with 2 RBIs. 10 runners left on base for the Yankees. Good game, but with 15 hits there should be more produced. No no I am not complaining. Good job.

Game 48, Gainst the Ranger, In Texas
Joba starts todays game just 5 games after his knee was nearly broken by a hit ball. We shall see how it goes.
Joba has a rough start early. 2 runs score after a feilders choice, double, walk and another single. The Yankees had a runner on third in the first, second, and third but could not score, yet. 0-2 in the bottom of the second. In the forth Joba gives up a home run to Chris Davis. 0-3, but it was an improving inning, his first of the night without a walk.
Mark Teixeira hits a home run in the top of the fifth to get the Yankees on the board and take down the lead. I was beginning to think it was going to be a eight inning shut out. Joba is pulled in the fifth and Alfredo Aceves is put in. He has the first one, two, three inning with two ground outs and a strike out to retire the Rangers with no damage done.
In the sixth Gardner singles and steals second, third of the game, and is scored by a Matsui double. And after a Swisher strike out, Cervelli singles to score Matsui to tie the game at 3. Melky Cabrera was taken out in the first inning because he ran into the wall trying to catch a ball and strained his shoulder. I guess we won't be seeing any Melky Magic tonight or tomorrow until after the MRI.
The Rangers take the lead again in the bottom with a double and a single. The Yankees had something going in the bottom, single by Cano, single by Gardner, Matsui hit by pitch, but Swisher hits into a double play and the inning is over. The hero of last month becomes the Yankee dead weight.
After a single and a double the Rangers score another after a ground out. After a fly out the Rangers have another run. 3-6 after seven played. In the bottom Davis homers again. 3-7
It seemed like everytime the Yankees had a little going for them the Rangers took it right back. Double plays ended three of the nine innings for the Yankees. First three innings ended with a runner on third. Joba started rough, taken out and the game was still rough. 4 innings pitched, 4 hits, 3 runs, 4 walks hurt bad, and 5 strike outs. Aceves also gave up 3 runs, but in only 2 innings. He had 0 walks and 2 strike outs. Gardner had a good game, 3-4, 3 stolen bases, and scored a run. Matsui was 2-3 scoring a run and an RBI.
Around the League:
Cubs snap their 8 game losing streak with a 6-1 5 inning win over the Pirates.
Padres loss snapping their 10 game win streak. Even after the 10 wins, the loss keeps them at .500.
Red Sox loss against the Twins 2-5. Good time to tie for first if the Yankees can pull off a win.
Blue Jays continue to lose. Have lost 8 straight. Lost the lead and are now in 3rd place in the division.
Tampa Bay loses again to the Indians. That come back win must have really hurt their pride.
