Darrell Rasner Is Keen Observer

The Good

Last time out Rasner pitched 8 innings, giving up 2 runs, and the Yankees lost. The next day Andy Pettitte pitched 7.2 innings, gave up 10 runs and the Yankees won. Rasner, being a keen observer and a true student of the game, noticed the pattern and decided to give up a lot of runs this time out in order to secure the win. We can at least say that Rasner is learning from the veteran pitchers.

The Bad

What Rasner didn't pick up on is that if you're going to give up 10 runs and win you have to pace yourself. Andy gave up 5 of his 10 in the eighth, Rasner gave up 7 in 3.2 innings. That's too hasty young man, you must pace yourself.

The Ugly

Your whole face is ugly. Oooooooooooooh SNAP! Take that loyal readers! All three of you.

The Reason We Can Sleep at Night

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. We will keep a running tally of the home runs hit and the money donated throughout the season. You're probably too hurt to read this but Giambi hit another home run.

Melky Cabrera 7hr = $7.00
Alex Rodriguez 10hr = $10.00
Hideki Matsui 6 hr = $6.00
Bobby Abreu 8hr = $8.00
Jorge Posada 2hr = $2.00
Jason Giambi 15hr = $15.00
Johnny Damon 6hr = $6.00
Morgan Ensberg 1hr = $1.00
Robinson Cano 4hr = $4.00
Chad Moeller 1hr = $1.00
Wilson Betemit 3hr = $3.00
Derek Jeter 3hr = $3.00
Shelley Duncan 1hr = $1.00
Total = $67.00
