lol i was getting kinda worried i was thinking greg must have a hangover or sumthing from last night.

Greg Cohen said...

Yea, it's been a rough morning.

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

Greg Cohen said...

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

No runs in the first, what a concept.

Anonymous said...

Throw strikes.

Greg Cohen said...

Nice, what a break.

Great heads up play by Jeter.

Greg Cohen said...

Ahh damn it the run counts.

Anonymous said...

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

Greg Cohen said...

Looks like Teixeira is over his slump.

THROW STRIKES JOBA!

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

Greg Cohen said...

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

Anonymous said...

Bad Joba.

Greg Cohen said...

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

I'm drunk already.. GO YANKEES

Greg Cohen said...

Hahahaha nice.

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

Greg Cohen said...

Almost.

Anonymous said...

He's afraid of them.. just throw 97 and see what happens.

Girardi won't let him finish this inning.

Greg Cohen said...

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

A-Rod needs his steroids.

GAY ROD.. ha I amuse myself

VERAS??!?!?! AHHHHHHH

Greg Cohen said...

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

Anonymous said...

Brian Bruney where art thou? At least Joba won't get the loss.

Greg Cohen said...

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

Anonymous said...

Ufff!

Great job by Coke.

Greg Cohen said...

Yup sure was. I thought they had no chance getting out of that inning with the lead. Shows what I know.

Anonymous said...

I'm glad he got the hit yesterday, but Melky is dumbass.

Greg Cohen said...

Can't disagree with you there.

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

Greg Cohen said...

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

Come on A-Rod!

Anonymous said...

Greg Cohen said...

No idea.

Greg Cohen said...

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.

Greg Cohen said...

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.
