A Biased Look at the New York Yankees, the Greatest Franchise in the History of Sports
[powered by WordPress.]
Chicks dig the long ball so new Yankee Stadium is the perfect place to take your date. This trend continued yesterday as the Yankees pounded four home runs to account for all five of their runs in a 5-3 win over the Rays. Nick Swisher hit a two run shot while Derek Jeter, Johnny Damon and Mark Teixeira all went yard with solo shots. In fact, four of the six Yankee hits went over the fence.
Andy Pettitte threw a nice game and he improved to 6-2. He gave up three runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks with seven strikeouts in six innings. Phil Hughes, Phil Coke and Mariano Rivera (save 14) then pitched scoreless frames each to finish up the Devil-less Rays.
That gives the Yankees their one game lead back. Now it’s time to go play in the shit box for three games. A.J. Burnett will hopefully pitch his heart out against the Red Sox while Josh Beckett throws for the Red Sox.
