pettite struggles against the twins

In last nights game against the twins the yanks took a loss 6-5 after pettite breaking their 5-5 tie in the 8th. The yankees had many chances to produce runs on the board but could not do so. This game was'nt a great performance by Andy but the yanks are looking ahead. Joba Chamberlain is now making his major league debut as a starting pitcher against the Toronto blue jays. It will be interesting now to see what joba could do with his four pitches.

Yanks take 2 from baltimore

The yanks winning two so far now put them in fourth place in the east. They are starting joba on tuesday and the team is definetly excited about that.

Jorge will possibly play sooner than expected.

In the secound game against the twins they went into extra innings winning in the top of the 12th inning. This lead them to feel confident going into the third game of the four game set. Unfortunetly the yanks came up short. The yanks now are 28-28, 7 games behind toronto

Baltimore becomes rally killer for the yanks

Ian kennedy coming off a great start his last time up ends up struggling and lasting only up to the third inning. The yanks had the lead 4-0 going into the 2nd inning giving Ian some breathing room, but he seemed to not have his stuff last night as he gave up a 3 run homerun to millar soon before ramon hernandez tied the game as they went back to back. The yanks came back as they took the lead to 8-4 having ohlendorph coming in after Ian injured his (im sorry i don't know specifically). Soon ohlendorph gave up the lead as he allowed 4 homeruns in the 5th inning. The game was now tied 8-8. They brung in mo' to pitch in extra innings before they would bring in latroy hawkins and he failed giving the orioles the victory

The yanks struggle to stay consistent pays off as Ian kennedy gets the job done

The yankees have just won one (suprising to us all, but it knew it would happen) . The life has come back to the bronx after struggle and lose constantly.The secound game against the orioles Ian Kennedy had the start. Time here for Kennedy is to prove himself and to the yanks that he could be in the rotation. It turns out that Ian went 6 innings allowed 1 run, and 4 hits to keep the yanks in the game. Damon went 3 for 4 leading off that game. Now damon always said that when he gets off great the yanks respond and well that was'nt quite the case this time, but the yanks did well. The great one jeter went 1 for 4 though but he's always a key factor for the yankees.The game was nothing but a pitching duel for Ian Kennedy and also a test. The game was tied all the way to the bottom of the 9th making the yankees have to take care of business in the last inning.
Now an amazingly hilarius thing took place yesterday and it was really hilarius so let me explain will you. Ok Right after Hideki Matsui reached first with one out still remaining Jason Giambi was up. He got called out on strikes because of the claiming of the Orioles catcher. The ball was clearly inside and high but the catcher said that it hit the knob of his bat and into the glove. It would now be 2 outs. Joe Girardi was extremely upset with the call and loudly and angrily voiced his opinion to the umpire having him ejected from the game. He also got fined and suspended for the series opener against seattle. But in the game now, Robi was up with 2 outs and a runner in scoring position. A single could do the job and that's exactly what he did. There was a giant hole between short and third on the left side of the infield. Robi based knocked right to the left side and they always say hit 'em where they 'aint and it drove the hustling Matsui in to win the game. A dramatic win for the yanks as they approach a 2-game winning streak.

Yankees rebirth against the Orioles

After slumping with loosing four straight the yanks come alive. A-rod has not only made his return but he's hit 2 homers in 2 consecutive games. The secound game against the orioles the yanks took control having Darrell Rasner pitch 7 innings with allowing only 5 hits and no runs to break their loosing streak.The yanks are coming ou of their bad luck and this is just the beginning.
