News & Notes
- Andy Pettitte has made 36 appearances (35 starts) against Toronto in his career. In those games he's 17-11, with a 4.19 ERA. At Rogers Centre/Sky Dome, he's 12-5, with a 4.04 ERA in 19 games (18 starts). Last season against the Jays he went 1-2, with a 5.05 ERA in three starts, and was 1-1, with a 3.46 ERA at Rogers Centre.
- In 11 career starts in the big leagues 27-year-old Scott Richmond is 5-4, with a 3.58 ERA. This season he's 4-1, with a 3.29 ERA in six start.
- Brian Bruney threw 25 pitched off the mound today. He said he felt fine and he'll throw again on Friday.
- Hideki Matsui said he could have played tonight, but Girardi held him out of the lineup just to be careful. The lefty pitcher doesn't help either.
- Derek Jeter is still not able to play, he hopes to return to the lineup tomorrow.
- Phil Coke is out tonight, his back is still bothering him.
UPDATE 8:00 p.m.: Chien-Ming Wang will make his next start on Sunday for Scranton/Wilkes-Barree against Columbus.

Stick around and discuss the game
as it happens in the comments section
A lot of people on Pete Abraham blog are complaining about the lineup.
ReplyDeleteBut what do you people expect with Jeter, Posada, Nady and Matsui all hurt, you are going to have a weaker lineup. At the start of the season the yankees had a strong bench.
The lineup is still good enough to win. The defense should be an upgrade tonight with Pettitte pitching.
There's not much Girardi can do at this point. I'd probably bat Gardner or Melky second, and drop Swisher to sixth. Just so there aren't four automatic outs at the bottom, three is bad enough. Plus Gardner can bunt and the way Damon had been hitting he'll probably have a couple chances to move him along.
ReplyDeleteThe first 10 game winning streak of the season starts tonight!
ReplyDelete4th!!11!11!!!
ReplyDelete-internet fag
The 2 fake umpires are back behind home plate.
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty funny.
Go Bombers, no Doc Halladay excuses tonight.
lead off walk not good need to get ahead on these guys
ReplyDeleteanother wonderful start
ReplyDeleteJesus, throw strikes Andy.
ReplyDeleteAnd what the hell is going on with Teixeira's glove? It's one thing to be struggling at the plate, but don't carry it onto the field.
Tex is a goober
ReplyDelete-vag
How is Teixeira goober? What is a goober?
ReplyDeletewow the offense is alive, gardner did something with the bat!
ReplyDeletePENA!!111!!!111!!!
goober, the chocolate peanuts at the movie theatres, get wit it dooode
ReplyDeleteWow, Gardner homered... Unbelievable... I wanted him to bunt.
ReplyDeleteWhat team is this and what have they done with our awful Yankees?
ReplyDeletelol.... Hopefully they can tac on a few more and make this a real laugher. I'm still not comfortable with a four-run lead.
ReplyDeleteGardner has been hanging out with A-Rod.
ReplyDeleteDerek Jeter who?
ReplyDeleteIt's a small sample size, but doesn't this team seem to play with a little more energy when Pena's in the game?
ReplyDeleteWell I guess never facing Richmond didn't really bother anyone.
ReplyDeleteSchruender,
ReplyDeleteThis time it did not. Thank goodness for that.
swisher has been hitting worse than ransom lately
ReplyDeleteSwisher has been bad, you're right.
ReplyDeleteLike how A-Rod's just taking his walks tonight, just his presence in the lineup is really gonna start to make a difference. Tex 2 for 2 tonight.
ReplyDeletewow the 2nd inning was the best offensive inning that yanks have had this year. or the best i can remember at this point. haha
ReplyDeleteTeixeira's had three great at-bats, maybe this is the game that turns him around.
ReplyDeleteHere's where the Yankees blow it. This team sucks.
ReplyDeletePETTITTE HAD BETTER GET HIS HEAD OUT OF HIS ASS, STOP WALKING THESE RETARDS, HE'S NOT GONNA MAKE IT MUCH LONGER...
ReplyDeleteRelax anon, it's still 6-2.... Oh damn it, come on Pena, you have to make that play.
ReplyDeleteSee anon, he got out of it.
ReplyDeleteIt looked like the beginning of the end to me. Glad I was wrong. Still four innings to go though.
ReplyDeleteOh come on, be a little optimistic.
ReplyDeleteWell those two runs make me feel a little better.
ReplyDeleteyesss i love this game even though Andy isnt doing great. It feels good to be winning!
ReplyDeleteguess the turf doesnt agree with Pena
ReplyDeleteNice to see some offensive output tonight. Andy is pitching a nice game.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow morning my family and I will be flying down to Orlando, Florida, for an 8 day stay at Walt Disney World. This is my first time going and I am very excited, but the bad news is the blog won't be updated at all until I get back (hopefully when I return the Yankees will be doing better).
ReplyDeleteSo, until 8 days from now, so long, and go Yankees!!
Yea, great to see some offense, Crossfire.
ReplyDeleteThat's great YB, have a great time. I was there twice as a kid and had a great time both times.
Thanks. And like I said, hopefully when I come back the Yankees will be doing much better. They've been doing better tonight at least.
ReplyDeleteI'll still be around for the rest of the night, but we have to be at the airport by 9 so I'm gonna go to sleep soon.
ReplyDeleteI'll be convinced that Big Tex is out of his funk when he becomes the all-fields hitter everybody says he was. So far he's been a dead pull hitter, following in the path of da Giambino. But hitting to center is a start. Now start working the count and getting more singles.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good point, Mike. He is only pulling the ball.
ReplyDeletejust throw strikes man...
ReplyDeleteYankees Win THHHHAAAAAA YANKEES WIN!
ReplyDeleteIt's really amazing how these guys just can't get the ball over the plate. .... Ahhh, there's the inning ending DP. Still, gotta throw strikes. Mo should never have had to even stand up let alone make a few warmup pitches.
ReplyDeletei want that job, where do i sign up to drive like an ass on the field?
ReplyDeleteMy final Yankee game before I leave and it ends on a high note. Good job!
ReplyDeleteAceves looked pretty good. I hope he can one of the better guys out there in the 'pen.
ReplyDeleteTex is still a goober.
ReplyDelete-vag.
Anon,
ReplyDeleteAceves did look good, hopefully Joe starts using him more.
YB,
Maybe it's a sign of better things to come.
CC needs to dominate tomorrow and send a message to Toronto then go home for the 10 game homestand on a high note (even though that new monstrosity doesn't provide much of an advantage)
