The finale to this four-game set was abysmal for the Bombers. The Yankee bats never woke up, and Jesse Litsch used a variety of garbage to keep them off the scoreboard. With 6 games to go, the Yanks are down by 2 to Boston. Boston's final six are all at home, 2 against Oakland and 4 against Minnesota.
The Yanks are on their way to Tampa right now for a three-game set, from there they head north to Baltimore to finish up the season with another three-gamer. The division title isn't out of reach, they Yanks own the tiebreaker, so they have to win two more games than the Sox do this week.
Not much more to say about this one. Hopefully the offense can turn the page and light up the D-Rays tomorrow. One note to the Yankee pitchers: Do Not Let Carlos Pena Beat You.
Player of The Game: A-Rod, he drove in the only Yankee run.
Brian-
Sorry I didn't gat back to ya earlier. I was planning on getting to at least one game in Bmore this weekend.
Not sure which one, but I don't wanna miss an opportunity to see the Yanks play. ( even if the game is meaningless )
Are you headin down to go to a game?
Nah, no traveling for the next couple of weeks for me, my wife's due date is next Wed.
The games might not be meaningless, though. You could see the Yanks clinch the East :)
Congrats to you and your wife! Best of luck to both of you.
Do you know what it is yet? What I mean to say is, is it a Yanks fan or a sox fan? jk
I know you'll educate the kid right!
Are you gonna keep the blog running while your tending to your family? If you need a pinch blogger I'd be happy to try and fill your shoes.
She'll be a Yankee fan, there's no doubt about that.
Thanks for the offer, but the blog will live on. I've got a couple of weeks off from my day job so I should still have time for this. It's going to be the middle of the playoffs, so I'll definitely be watching (in between diaper changes).
No sweat man just thought I'd ask. I've been wanting to contribute to some of these great Yanks blogs for a while, just haven't really had the balls to ask anybody.
Yours is well written and NO trolls!! (always a plus!)
Good luck w/ them diapers, I fortunatly am not at that juncture in my life. YET.
