Matsui's homer in eighth gives Sabathia 3-2 win

CC struggled a bit but still pitched a real good game. He pitched 17 innings on this road trip and gave up 9 hits and 2 runs. That's more like the guy the Yanks went after last winter. Now it's home to take on the Twins, O's and Phils!
The offense struggled a bit but everyone contributed a little to make the win a team effort! There were some real good defensive plays as well!

Great job by CC and once again proof that Gardeners speed can make a huge difference! That's 2!

speed helps, next year move Nady to left, Gardner in CF and Melky in right

I like Damon but he is a DH at this point. Its time to say good bye.

It's good to see CC warming up, and looking forward to seeing what he can do from here. Now it's time for AJ to be AJ, and we'll be good to go. Arod hit the ball much better last night, so he may be rounding into shape as well. And I am liking this Cavelli (?) kid behind the plate.

Yanks and Mets will get a good chance to help each other out next week playing each others rivals at the same time. Hoping for a Yankee sweep of the Phils.

As everybody was saying around baseball. The Jays, even though they have the best record in baseball, have not played the powerhouse teams yet. And the yankees showed them that it is easy to be up Balitmore and others. I just hope the Red Sox who are also feeling the early season injuries can win their series when they play the jays.

From your lips to gods ears!

Cervelli has been great. The way he's been playing the Yankees haven't missed that Molina got injured as well. I've been really impressed how he works with the pitchers during the games, and the results they've been getting together.

Yes, I agree, he's been a very pleasant surprise! I'm not certain he could play at his present level for an extended period of time but he's certainly done his job to this point!

And that will be OK in the mind of John Henry. It's just awful for baseball when the Yanks get someone and he doesn't! But when he gets the big name, ie Dice K, then it's OK! Rumor has it he's negotiating to purchase the Boston Globe. I'll bet he'll really get good press then!!!!!

Yanks doing it today.
NY Times lost a packet on the globe; stupid to buy a print in the dawn of the electronic news age. Globe by far has the best sportswriters in the country. Sox leading in the 8th. with Jays yanks and Rays all up today its a must win.
