Yankees Lose

Damn it.  Not much to say outside of explitives.  Stop by in a couple of weeks and I’ll probably be cooled off.

Yankees Let One Slip As Tigers Even Up Series 1-1

by @ 1:12 pm. Filed under 2006 ALDS

Well, I guess we won’t be sweeping the Tigers.  No biggie.  The Unit should take care of business tomorrow and I see the Yankees jumping all over Rogers.  It could get ugly.  And on the bright side, Mariano Rivera didn’t have to throw.

All the Yankees got was a three run homerun though.  They threatened in the first (bases loaded) and second innings but left a bunch of men on base.  Johnny Damon got us on the board with that three run shot but the Tigers’ pen lived up to their reputation and shut down the Yankees in the final four frames.

So we’ll see what happens tomorrow night.  The Tigers got a boost in their confidence, but hopefully the Yankees slap them back down tomorrow.

Derek Jeter Gets it Done In Game One of ALDS

by @ 2:04 am. Filed under 2006 ALDS

One down, two to go.  Chien-Ming Wang was hardly spectacular, but with this lineup, all he needed to do was pitch fairly.  That’s what he did and that’s why he got the win.

Derek Jeter was a man on a mission.  He went five for five and scored three times.  He also started a very nice double play in the third inning to stop the first Tigers surge.  Had that double play not been converted, the Tigers would have scored an early run and we might have had a much different game then we did.

Bobby Abreu was another big hitter.  He drove in four runs with a single and a double.  Johnny Damon scored twice and Jason Giambi of all people stole a base and hit a homerun in the same game.

Tonight it’s Mike Mussina vs. rookie phenom Justin Verlander.  Let’s make it 2-0 and then finish things up on Friday.
