Joba Chamberlain will be in the rotation moving forward, meaning he will pitch every five games. They decided he needed to pitch more regularly. The innings limit hasn’t changed. Some starts will be less than five innings.Yup, just keep changing how you're gonna handle the kid. Smart move Yanks!
Stick around and discuss the game
as it happens in the comments section.

No one around tonight???
I was wondering the same thing.
Yeah, a slow night!
CC looks really good so far. Melky annoyed me on that play in center where he lost the ball. He never yelled for help or anything. He should've yelled over at Swisher to let him know he lost the ball... Luckily, it didn't hurt us.
Homer by Damon!
CC does look good. Yeah Melky should of said something. As long as CC doesn't blow the lead I think it could be a very good night.
Now Melky can see it!
Micheal Kay just said the Yankees are leading the RED SOX 2-0. lol
Hey guys, I actually fell asleep for a while, been a long day. Big play by A-Rod to say the lead, that could be a huge play in this game if CC can get out of it here.
It sure would.
Damn, tie game, but at least they cut down that lead run.
Now we have to score some runs. Both Hughes and Rivera haven't pitched in a little while so it would be good to get them in this game.
It's gonna be quite intresting to see who wins awards after the season. You got Mauer and Jeter for MVP, you got Beckham and Reimold for Rookie of the year, and for Cy young, it could come out to a CC/Beckett race.
Boston just tied it at 5.
How are they playing?
You mean because of the weather? No idea.
I mean who are they playing? My bad. lol!
Oh, lol, Toronto... Nice inning by Phil.
Boston should be winning if there playing Toronto but i'm glad there not though.
Alright Greg, I might not be around tommrrow in the late afternoon because i'm getting treatment for my arm. See ya.
Later Liam, good luck with your treatment.
Thanks, this is my second to last time:(
Nicely done Mo... I want to see Jeter get a pie in the face.
Same here, Night.
Did the Stadium actually boo Molina calling time?
I know they thought Ramirez stepped out, but still, that's dumb.
Go Bombers, I call for Damon's 2-run walk-off HR.
They've been in a booing mood for some reason. Maybe they're unaware of the standings, or maybe just angry at the weather.
Oh no, not Bruney. Apparently Girardi doesn't care about winning tonight.
Wow, heck of a job by Bruney and a great play by Molina to end the inning... Now can we please just end this.
I don't like the chances now with cano up
I'm still pissed that A-Rod's blast somehow got held up by that wind. I thought that was long gone off the bat.
It also did the same to tex and 1 other yankee I forgot who....
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
YES ROBBIE!!!!!!
PIE TIME!
OH BABY!!!!
CANO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AJ! Get the pie out!
greg, just tellin you that the kazmir trade went through and kazmir is an angel now
Thanks A7Tex, these damn contradictory reports are making me dizzy.
Great win for the Yanks. A total team effort. The 7th inning defense, the Hughes-Rivera combo and course CC all deserve credit for this one.
ARod and Swish saved the day in the 7th.
ARod's throw home nail Quentin for the second out and his outstanding play on the ball hit by Nix really saved the game.
He may not have got anyone out but he saved a run there by keeping the ball in the infield and the runners from advancing. And that ball was basically past him when he got it.
Swish's throw to nail Castro was also key.
You guys are absolutely right, the defense in the seventh won them the game.
This team is built to win the only thing that can ruin it is Girardi over managing
good game
