Yanks win last game of long road trip
Yesterday’s game was great. For one the Yankees won, Chad Gaudin did not pitch like himself in a good way, Teixeira had an amazing game getting all three of the Yankees RBI’s (two on a home run), and Jeter had his 5th multi-hit game in a row.
Chad Gaudin left a bit of a situation to the Bullpen but our savior Ace got out of the jam with a 1-2-3 DP almost identical to the one A-Rod hit into a couple nights ago. At the end of the game Rivera picked up his 36th save making the final score 3-2 in the Yankees favor.
The lead over the Sox is still at 7 with them beating the Jays 6-1. It seems like Ortiz is back on the rice and beans of late with his sudden surge of homers. Sadly the Red Sox seem to have found there groove and are just as hot as the Yankees lately but hopefully that will all change when the Yankees make themselves at home at Fenway.
Tonight the Sox have a chance to move a half game up in the Division since we are idle today. But even if they sweep the next series that would still leave the Yanks 3.5 games up which is AWESOME! All I can hope for is that we sweep the series at fenway putting us up 9.5 or 10.5 games. Sounds pretty good to me!
PLAY OF THE GAME
Teix’s 2-run blast in the 4th making the score 3-0 and putting up his 2nd and 3rd ribbies of the night. He was all the offense the Yankees needed for their 3-2 win.
Thank You!
I don’t have time to write much today sadly but here it goes. The Yankees crushed the A’s 7-2 and had an offensive explosion for the first time in 5 days when they pummeled the Mariners 11-1 also when CC pitched. Jeter had his third straight 3-hit game and is on a role! The thing I like the most about this is that the Yankees WON ending their small 2-game slide. The other thing I loved about this game is that now I don’t have to miss the series finale which I said I’d do if they lost yesterday.
CC had a great game and made an amazing play off of a Nomar Garciappara line drive. His record is now at 14-7 and is tied for the most wins in the Majors with Adam Wainwright and Josh Beckett. Sadly the Red Sox also won so the Yanks didn’t get to extend their already robust lead to 8.

Derek Jeter’s go-ahead RBI single in the sixth, putting the Yankees up for the first time 3-2.
Ex-Yankee becomes Yankee Killer
Yesterday’s game was pretty much as bad as the Seattle game. This time it was the offense that didn’t come through going 0-6 with RISP. The defining moment was when A-Rod grounded into a 1-2-3 double play with the bases loaded to end the only threaght the Yankees really gave to the A’s all game. Tomko was amazing today going 5 shutout innings vs. his former team. Why couldn’t he do that for us?!?!?!?!
The one good play for the Yankees was when Johnny Damon made a great over the shoulder catch in left field then he threw back into to Robinson Cano (Who’s hitting streak was ended at 14 yesterday) who ran it back to first base to double off the runner and end the inning. The sad thing is that AJ Burnett had a great game just one bad inning and he’s charged with the loss.
That face pretty much sums it up right? That’s pretty much what i was feeling like, the feeling was kind of like this: What?!? You mean we lost. . . again!!! That’s impossible!!! This team does not lose two games in a row repeat TWO games! This is unacceptable Yankees if you guys decide to lose tomorrow too I might just not watch the rest of the series! Yeah I said it I might miss on whole game Yankees so you better pick up the pace.
Here are some happy memories to remind you of the good times. . .
1921 Yankees – first year the Yankees won the World Series
Arguably the best Yankees team ever the 1998 Yankees celebrate their World Series sweep above.
Old timers day 2009 Yankees beat Tigers. . . and Joba Celebrates.
You might have to think wayyy back for this one, It’s Saturday the last Yankees win.
So Yankees remember the good times and keep your eye on the Trophy!
