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.

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 66, Subway Series, Game 3
Burnette has his next start after a 7-0 loss against the Red Sox earlier this week. Lets hope the lineup is a little more awake.
The Yankees score 4 early in the second. Cano doubles to start off the inning and then after 2 outs and a Matsui walk, Cervilli singles, Jeter singles, and Damon singles. Damon called out at second after scoring Cervilli and Jeter. In the forth the Yankees blow it wide open with a walk (Swisher), home run (Matsui), double (Cabrera), single (Cervilli), single (Jeter), double (Damon), single (Teixeira), bases loaded double play (Rodriguez), home run (Cano), walk (Swisher), walk (Matsui), double but called out at third (Cabrera). 9 run forth inning.
In the top of the seventh the Yankees pull out most of the infield. Pena, who replaced Rodriguez in the sixth, moves to SS, Berroa in at 3rd, Swisher moves to first (Teixeira out), and Gardner in center field. They hold the Mets and score 2 more in the bottom because Berroa was hit, Damon walked, Gardner walked, Pena singled, and Cano scored 1 with a sacrifice fly. Final score, 0-15! The Yankees scored 8 runs with 2 outs.
I don't understand why they took Burnett out in the eighth. I wish the management would let these guys finish some of their games instead of using the bullpen. The starters have 4 guaranteed rest days but the next game could go into extra innings and the bullpen is down a bit. See, Robertson comes in and has 2 strike outs in an inning. Those are 2 strike outs we may need in the next game!
Burnett pitched 7 innings, gave up no runs! on only 4 hits! with 4 walks (boo) and 8 strikeouts! I think he should have finished the game.
Jeter went 4-4 scoring 2 runs with 2 RBIs. Damon went 2-4 scoring 1 run with 3 RBIs. Cano went 3-4 scoring 2 runs with 3 RBIs. He had 2 doubles and a home run. Cabrera went 2-4 scoring 1 run with 2 RBIs. He had 2 doubles.

Game 65, Subway Series, Game 2
Game 2, Pettittes baby. Digs himself a hole a little early, giving up 2 in the second. Rodriguez gets one back with a home run. 2-1. In the fifth Pettitte gives up 3 more and the Yankees only have a 1 run answer in the seventh with Jeter's single to score Gardner. Final score, 6-2.
Pettitte had a rocky start giving up earned runs on 12 hits and 1 walk with 3 strike outs. The line up had an even rockier game, going 5-32 overall. Rodriguez went 1-2 with a home run.

Game 64, Subway Seires, Game 1
Sorry about not posting this week. I had no good words for Tuesday's game, still bad things to say about Wednesday's game, and more bad things about another blown game last night. Soo, against the Mets.
Cano homers in the second to be the first run of the game. In the third with bases loaded, Joba walks 1 and hits another batter to allow 2 runs. But the Yankees get them back in the bottom Teixeira homer while Garnder was on. 2-3. Won't hold the lead long, in the fifth, a double, walk, double and home run scores 4 for the Mets. The Yankees only get 1 back in the bottom with a Jeter home run. 6-4. But in the bottom of the sixth the Yankees do a lot more damage. With a Cano single, Posada walk, and a Matsui homer, the Yankees retake the lead 6-7. Wow Sheffield is mean. In the seventh, he doubles and scores on a single to tie up the score. 7-7. The Yankees give up the tie in the next inning with a walk and a double. 8-7. The game won't be decided till a most embarrassing play in the bottom of the ninth.
We all know the scenerio. Bottom of the ninth, runners on, two out. Tonights hero is Alex Rodriguez with a pop up. Thats right, a pop up was the game winning hit. Jeter singles, Teixeira intentionally walked and Rodriguez comes up in the ninth with 2 on and 2 out. He hits a pop up to Mets second baseman Luis Castillo. Castillo DROPS THE BALL, and with 2 out, nothing is holding Jeter and Teixeira to their bases. They're on their horses, both round third and score during the confusion of the missed catch! Yankees win 8-9!
Joba has had worse and better starts. This one goes with 4 innings pitched, 1 hit, 2 earned runs, 5 WALKS!, and 3 strike outs. Those 5 walks were the cause of the earned runs. Rivera does not get a save but he does get a Win.
Jeter went 2-5, scoreing 2 runs with an RBI. Teixeira went 1-3, scoreing 2 runs with 2 RBIs and 2 walks. Cano was 2-4 scoring 2 runs with 1 RBI.
The loss down in the labels is to catch up with my count, having skipped 3 posts.

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!
