3 runs on 4 hits for the Royals. If the Yanks got 1 run on 4 hits it would be a miracle. Actually, if the Yanks got 1 run with the bases loaded and no outs it would be a miracle. Cashman has done a great job of building a major league team hasn't he? I feel an extension on the way. I aslo feel the 80's are on the way.
6-0 Blue Jays. 1st inning. Its going to be a tough series in Toronto. Of course we're going to face Burnett and Halladay.
Well they're winning 10-3 now Anonymous. Nice to see the offense show up today. Considering it came on a day where Moose may not have his best stuff I'm even more pleased.
Wow, who is this team and what have you done with my Yankees?
I know anon, I feel the same way.
Oh by the way Matsui may be activated on Tuesday.
The hits just keep on comin'!
What's the heck is going on here? And where has this team been all year?

Matsui coming back could be a big lift. But, it might be a little too late. They should have demoted Melky earlier. It looks like Gardner is starting to hit better. He is putting good wood on the ball which he wasn't before. That would be huge to have a good OFer with speed who can lead off and generate runs. I can't believe he turned his hit into a triple. He has some wheels.
Alright, that it too much positiveness for one post.
Who spiked this teams koolaid? Giambi looks like Mattingly.
No problem anon, YankeeLand needs as much optimism as it can get nowadays.
Beckett got shelled today. 8 runs in 2.1 innings. haha. I hope we dont finish 4th. The Jays are playing better lately.
why did giambi bring back his stache already? didnt he just shave it off like a week or 2 ago. and i thought he started doing better without it.
Yeah, but he started to slump again and decided to bring it back, at least that's what I'm assuming.
This is one of the things that has made Moose so good this year, he can have a bad inning and recover from it. Last year he'd have a bad inning and follow it up with a worse one.
Welcome to the party Bobby!
Can they please hit like this everyday.
Welcome to the Bronx Cody!
Yankees win, thaaaaaaaaaa Yankees WIN!
