- Tonight will be Brett Anderson's 17th big league start. The 21-year-old has faced the Yankees once before and got hit hard. The Yanks scored five runs on nine hits in 5.1 innings of work. He also allowed three homers.
There are also reports going around the web that the Blue Jays and Phillies are close to a deal that would bring Roy Halladay to the Phillies. More info to come...
- Boston designated outfielder Mark Kotsay for assignment today.
- The Yankees have swept three out of the last four series.

- In their last 36 home games the Yankees are 27-9.
- The Yankees pitching staff has a combined 2.29 ERA since the all-star break.
Stick around and discuss the game
as it happens in the comments section.
Oh my god man. I went to the game last night, and boy was it great. We were in right field right above the Utz sign, and Teix's home run sailed right over our heads.
ReplyDeletePrior to the game during the delay, we went into the Yankee Museum for the first time (I was unable to in my first visit). We saw Thurman Munson's locker (which was cool), autographed baseballs by all the Yankee greats, the world series throphies, and a model of the new stadium. All in all, you gotta check out the museum when you get a chance.
We didn't get home until 2 am, but it was defenitely worth it. I'm going to the Yankees-Red Sox game on August 7th, and that is something I'm really looking foward to. I'm also taking a tour of the new park on the 3rd, so I can't wait for that too.
8th straight tonight baby! GO YANKS!
Nice YB, good for you, glad you had such a good time.
ReplyDeleteOh what do you know, the Yanks once again quickly erase an A's lead.
ReplyDeleteA-Rod looked at a couple meatballs, though.
Very cool YB. First game?
ReplyDeleteA beautifully manufactured run for the Yanks and they now lead 4-2.
ReplyDeletevery nice!
ReplyDeleteGreg, I'm not at the tv. Is Hughes available tonight?
ReplyDeleteI missed if they said anything, but I remember hearing earlier in the year that if he threw two innings he would sit for at least one game. So I'm assuming he isn't available tonight.
ReplyDeleteI figured that.
ReplyDeleteGreat game by Joba. One of his best ever.
Now get him out and preserve his innings.
Joba has been fantastic tonight. If the Yanks don't score a run here I'd be very tempted to throw him out for one more inning. At least start the inning.
ReplyDeleteAnd sorry, I wrote 4-2 before, I meant 4-1.
ReplyDeletecrossfire,
ReplyDeleteSorry it's a bit late on the reply, but last night was my 2nd game at the new house. I went to the exhibiton opender vs the Cubs back on April 3rd. The Yanks won 7-4 I belive.
Man Joba's pitching good tonight. 2nd time in a row. Maybe a hot streak is brewing for Joba?
As long as Joba continues to attack the zone and challenge hitters he can keep this up.
ReplyDeleteDamon needs some time off, everytime a ball is hit his way, i tense up, even the easy fly balls, cause nothing is easy with OLE alligator arms..
ReplyDeletePaulie should be our hitting coach, he knows alot, Long just doesn't seem to know what he's doing...
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't want to do it. He's been asked to be a coach before and he doesn't want to work full-time.
ReplyDeleteBut I agree, he'd probably be great.
ReplyDeleteWell the offense has been great this year Mario, but you're right, Long really never seems like he know's what he's doing.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Yanks should give Paulie a call. Him as our hitting coach would be fun...
Well yeah he doesn't want to be a coach you're right Greg.
ReplyDeleteThings will probably change as time goes on and his kids get older and move out.
ReplyDeleteI was at that exhibition game too YB. Section 117B.
ReplyDeleteWhen was the last game that ARod had a huge game?
He's done a pretty god job at broadcasting if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteOMG I was in section 110 crossfire!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I really enjoy listening to O'Neil in the booth.
ReplyDeleteA-Rod had two big games in the Angels series.
ReplyDeleteGood game by Joba, don't really know what happened with the walk and HBP. Odd.
Great job Joba.
ReplyDeleteHis line:
7 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 6 SO
Nice start.
O'Neill was my favorite player during the WS run. Of course there were a lot of guys to like a lot.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, as I stated earlier, I wouldn't have brought Joba out for this inning even though he is pitching great.
Great seats for the game YB.
Yeah, first row too. I got a foul ball the pitch before Matsui hit the home run off the pole.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at the computer when the fly out was made, so I heard Kay going "hit deep to right," and I was like oh shit! But then Swish caught it so I was like okay, good.
ReplyDeleteCome on Coke, get him out!!!!!!!
sweet. I was in the last row on 117B with my bro
ReplyDeleteMatt Garza & Roy Halladay both went 9 innings game tied @ 2, when was the last time a pitcher went more then 9 innings... ????
ReplyDeleteWhat a job by Coke!
ReplyDeletethat a way Coke!!!
ReplyDeleteYESSSS!!
ReplyDeleteHip Hip!
ReplyDeleteI went with my dad. If you remeber, I was supposed to go with my friend and my friend's dad, but my dad surprised me with tickets for the game that day, so you know who I had to go with - my pops.
ReplyDeleteSolo shot by Posada!
Hip-Hip! Jorge! Hip-Hip! Jorge! Hip-Hip! Jorge!
that was hilarious, MO immediately goes back int osit down laughing, now knowing its not a save situation, LOL
ReplyDeleteGoing with your old man is cool YB. I took my son to his first game on Reggie Jackson day. I think it was in 1993. I am taking him in September for his 21st birthday. I brought him to his first game at old Yankee Stadium. I took him to his first game at New Yankee Stadium. (section 118)
ReplyDeleteAnd in September, i am taking him to the Stadium for his 21st birthday and buying him his first Yankee Stadium beer.
By the way, I have a 2 yr old now too. (got remarried and the wife wanted a kid.)
ReplyDeleteI am taking him to his first game on 8/27 against the Rangers.
Wat the heck? That entire play was messed up. I think Swish was out to be honest.
ReplyDeletebut but but the ball beat em there, make up for DEREK a few games ago....LOL
ReplyDeleteCool.
ReplyDeleteNice, Crossfire.
ReplyDeleteI used to go to games with my dad all the time, but as he's gotten older it's been less and less. I'm trying to convince him to come with me one time this year, hopefully a Sox game.
I hope the ump blew the call, we deserve a couple.
ReplyDeletewell if we're talking about kids,,,,well expecting my first with my wife in late Dec, already have a NY Yankee onsie...
ReplyDeletei love that we're playing small ball, and not having to count on HR derby
ReplyDelete7-1 Yanks. Didn't the Bombers win 8straight out of the All-Star Break last year as well? Yeah, they did.
ReplyDeleteOh, check that, it's 8-1.
Keep pouring it on fellas, 7-1 now, check that, 8-1...
ReplyDelete... Meanwhile in Boston....
Papelbon is pitching with a 3-1 lead, but the O's have runners on the corners with nobody out.
come on TEX, pad those stats, HR here would be awesome...
ReplyDeleteCongrats Mario!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mario! Good luck to you and your family.
ReplyDelete1 out for the O's, runners still on the corners...
ReplyDeleteGod I hope the team can save some of these hit cause they tend to score no runs after victories like this.
ReplyDeletecome on ALEX, you need a pick me up for the 2 strikeouts
ReplyDeleteCongrats Mario!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not too concerned, Emmanuel. They're 46-22 over their last 68. Even if they don't score 6+ runs, they're finding ways to win.
ReplyDelete... Bases loaded with one out and Luke Scott at the plate...
ReplyDeleteBases loaded in Boston for the Orioles. Come on give us a nice 3 game lead Baltimore!
ReplyDeleteCome on Luke!!!
ReplyDeleteshit!
ReplyDelete... Scott strikes out on three pitches, Mora coming to the plate ...
ReplyDeleteWhoa A-Rod was safe. Anyway, we're cruising to our 8th straight win so no worries here.
ReplyDeleteCome on Melvin!!!
ReplyDelete... 3-2 count on Mora...
ReplyDeleteDamn, he struck out swinging... Baltimore blows.
ReplyDeletedamn
ReplyDeletethanks crossfire, findout aug 4th boy or girl, i'm coming up for the make up rainout game vs angels on sept 14th i think it is, sitting
ReplyDelete3rd base side down low,
You know who blows? David Robertson
ReplyDeleteI"m a misplaced Yankee fan,
ReplyDeleteCharlotte, NC
Posada can't block well...
ReplyDeleteMario, are there any Yankees fans down there? I mean, I know we're everywhere, but I mean a decent population.
ReplyDeletegeezzz robertson, you just need to leave NY... we won, but you hate giving up 2 meaningless runs like that, ...
ReplyDelete8 in a row baby!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, another nice win, 8 in a row. This is getting fun.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, i see yankee hats, jersey's everywhere, bars, clubs, and i have a yankees liscense plate on the front of my suv, i get comments on it alot..
ReplyDeleteCharlotte is nice. Been there quite a few times. Went to Erickson stadium the first year it opened.
ReplyDeleteNice, Mario.
ReplyDeleteat the beginning of lastnights game, i was hoping to win 3 out of the 4 vs oakland, screw that, I"m greedy, keep the train going,
ReplyDeleteon a funny note, GODZILLA was on FX tonight, to bad he didn't show up..
we should sweep Oakland. of course sweeping any 4 game series is hard.
ReplyDeleteLOL I was watching Godzilla too.
ReplyDeleteI guess Long can't do anything... the Yanks are leading the league in runs scored because of Long's inability to teach.
ReplyDeleteWith that lineup this team should lead the league in those categories.
ReplyDeleteRight, but it's not like 'Long just doesn't seem to know what he's doing...'
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know if Long is a good hitting coach. He's helped Cano, and A-Rod likes him. That's really all I know.
ReplyDeleteThat and the Yankees were terrible offensively last year. Part of that had to do with losing Posada, but they shouldn't have been as bad as they were.
This year they've been very good, especially since A-Rod came back, and that includes time without Posada.
He's doing a good job I guess. But like I said, this team should be this good. They're lineup is stacked.
The Yankees are 21-2 in their last 23 games against teams not named the Angels.
