    Nice first inning for Joba. Gotta stick with the new routine.

    Definitely. And his velocity was good too . His 4-seamers were 94-95.

    So Joba figures out the first but can't pitch in any other innings now. Great.

    In other news, Swisher is really struggling but I still love him.

    Yep, I can deal with the solo homers, but not the walks.

    Yep, Swisher has looked awful lately. He's hitting .111 with 18 srike outs this month.

    Joba is killing himself with these walks. Watch Morneau hit a two-run bomb now.

    Good job getting out of that. Now hopefully the Yanks can put a few more on the board.

    He really is brutal to watch. The guy's stuff is electric and he can't throw strikes... And there's the leadoff walk.

    He'll be back this week. I just hope they get out of this inning with a tie.

    Tex's breakout game. Great to see him coming around. let's see arod do something now.

    You could slowly see him coming out of it lately, and you're right, today was the breakout game.

    Come on A-Rod!

    Great game. I had a good feeling about this one. Tex had a great game and ARod's homer was just what the doctor ordered.

    Nice to see the Yanks on a roll.

  45. Greg CohenMay 16, 2009 at 5:22 PM

    Ahhh, thanks for clearly that up, Anon.


    Now they gotta keep it up, Crossfire. Hopefully Burnett can get back to how he threw in his first two starts.

    Two things about today; Mo looked great, and Aceves needs to be moved ahead of Veras and Edwar in the bullpen.

    WOW Teixeira carried the team today.

    Swisher, Cano, Melky, Gardner and Cervilli were 0 for 18 today.
