THHHHHHE YANKEES WIN!!! Late Rally Capped By Posada
The Yankees trailed 9-4 heading into the bottom of the 8th inning in the Bronx Friday night. The Yankees put up a 4 spot in the 8th to come within one run. In the bottom of the 9th Mark Teixeira led off with a walk. Hideki Matsui lined a base hit to left to put the tying run in scoring position and the winning run on first base. That brought up the Yankees hottest hitter Robinson Cano who ripped a line drive up the middle to load the bases. Jorge Posada then drove a 3-2 fastball off Angels closer Brian Fuentes into left center to plate 2 and cap off a sensational comeback victory. This is the type of win that can really get a ball club on a roll. This Yanks fan is excited as hell about this one. I have Sinatra playing, and a cold Budweiser in my hand savoring this one. Start spreading the news…
Bombers Crank 5 Bombs to Even Series With Tribe
Starting pitching once again was not very spectacular. Joba Chamberlain went only 4 and 2/3 giving up 5 runs on 6 hits and walking 5. Walks seem to be the theme for Yankees starting pitching so far in 2009. The Yanks were able to overcome the weak effort with 5 home runs. Damon, Teixeira, Cabrera, Cano, and Jeter all hit solo shots and another run scored on a throwing error to help the Bombers edge the Tribe 6-5 and get their first win at the new Stadium. Jeter continued his display of clutch hitting in 2009 by putting the Yanks ahead for good with an 8th inning home run to right field off Jensen Lewis. Mariano Rivera nailed it down in the 9th to earn his 3rd save of the season. Chien-Ming Wang will take the ball for the Yankees today and hope to improve on his 0-2 start and robust 28.93 ERA. Wang has been rocked in his first two starts and didn’t get out of the 2nd inning against Tampa. Fausto Carmona will take an 0-2 start and 9.00 ERA to the mound for the Tribe. This looks to be an offensive type day as neither pitcher has started out well at all. Lets hope for some more Yankee long balls today and as always Go Yanks!!!
