The Good
The Yanks had another come from behind win, winning the game off of Jorge Posada's walk off single in the bottom of the twelfth. We would have won earlier but our second baseman is Robinson Cano. Also, and perhaps most importantly, we scored five runs on Roy Halladay.
The Bad
Cano with runners in scoring position is bad, but Wang out with a right shoulder strain is worse. Just kidding. Nothing is worse than Cano with runners in scoring position. Preliminary reports are that Wang should only miss a few weeks. In Yankees language that means he's probably out for most of the rest of the season.
The Ugly
Tomorrow, the RJG boys will be headed to Scranton to join the Lohud Yanks Blog festivities. This means we will not be able to post until we return to RJG headquarters (I can' tell you where that is, but I can say it is in a crystal fortress of solitude) on Monday evening. The primary implication of this is that there will be no more funny posts from us for almost 48 hours. Without RJG there will be no joy in the Yankee blogosphere, no laughter. Your children will sob uncontrollably and there will be nothing you can do. It will be dark, as though the sun herself could not bare our absence. Prepare for cold. Deep cold.
Charity Loves Us
Posada and Damon both hit home runs in today's winning effort. Even Matsui hit one, though that was probably unintentional since it would mean that he had to run around all the bases, not a strength for him right now.
