Late Inning Heroics Lift Yankees

The Good
Chad Gaudin put up a decent start going 5.2 innings and allowing 3 runs. Why is Mitre still in the rotation? Marte-Coke-Hughes-Rivera combined for 3.1 innings of shutout baseball. Matsui went 2-4 with a homerun and 3 RBI's. The ever energetic Francisco Cervelli hit a walk off single and it was glorious.

The Bad


You'd think we'd do better when the starting pitcher is out after 2 innings but alas Shawn Camp proved to be a reliable backup to Tallet.

The Ugly

Brian Bruney came in and gave up a pair of hits and a run without recording an out. He may very well be pitching his way off the post season roster, if he hasn't already.

Respect Jeter's Gangster is for the Children

The "Respect Jeter's Gangster" blog joined Johnny Damon's home run club, which raises money for the Children's Health Fund. We are pledged to donate $1.00 for every homerun the Yankees hit this season. Matsui hit his 25th homerun of the season last night.

Jorge Posada 21hr = $21.00
Hideki Matsui 25hr = $25.00
Derek Jeter 17hr = $17.00
Mark Teixeira 35hr = $35.00
Nick Swisher 27hr = $27.00
Robinson Cano 23hr = $23.00
Johnny Damon 24hr = $24.00
Melky Cabrera 12hr = $12.00
Jose Molina 1hr = $1.00
Alex Rodriguez 25hr = $25.00
Brett Gardner 3hr = $3.00
Francisco Cervelli 1hr = $1.00
Eric Hinske 7hr = $7.00
Jerry Hairston Jr. 2hr = $2.00
Total = $223.00
