Yanks take 2 in Tampa, Head home for Stadium Opener
After a miserable performance in game 1 of the series in Tampa that saw Wang get absolutely shelled and the Yanks fall 15-5, the Yanks rebounded nicely to take the second two games and head home to the Bronx 5-4. Captain Jeter is heating up as he went 5 for 9 with 4 RBI and a game winning double in the top of the 9th plating Cody Ransom and securing a 4-3 win for the Bombers in the series finale in Tampa. The Yanks took 2 of 3 from the defending American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays. The Yanks head home now for a 7 game home stand against the Indians and A’s to open the new Yankee Stadium. C.C. Sabathia will be on the hill for the Bombers in the first regular season game to be played at the new Stadium. He will be up against Indians ace Cliff Lee who has been rocked so far in ’09 giving up 11 runs on 17 hits in just 10 innings pitched with a robust ERA of 9.90. The Yanks will have to bring their A game as Lee the 2008 AL Cy Young Award winner is not likely to get beat up all year. The Indians come into todays game with a 2-7 record. I like the Yanks chances in front of the home fans today. This Stadium is awesome and I can’t wait to get to a game there! Go Yanks!
