Baseball’s Savior

Alright, this is what you like to see.  The Yanks dismantled the Phillies today and Joba Chamberlain was solid for three shutout frames.  Three strikeouts, one walk, two hits.  You have to like that.  Kei Igawa also had a solid outing with three shutout frames of his own.  Jonathan Albaladejo struck out two in his single shutout innning.

There was plenty of offense too.  Nick Swisher went three for four with three RBIs.  Cody Ransom went two for two with two runs while Xavier Nady went two for four with two runs and an RBI.  Good, good and good.

Here’s a solid story in Brian Bruney.  He’s looking to set up Mariano Rivera and to turn some heads, he came into camp 20 pounds lighter.  You have to love that kind of dedication.

The Yankees next victim are the Pirates at Steinbrenner Field.  CC Sabathia gets the nod against Tigers cast off Virgil Vasquez.  I like our chances.  Even better, the games on MLB.TV.
