Texas Wins One

The Good

Posada's hamstring appears to not be bothering him so much seeing as he went 2-4 with a homerun. Then again, it could be that he's limiting himself to either homeruns or singles because the hamstring is still bothering him, and he doesn't want to have to run that much. Only time will tell.

Tomko pitched 3 scoreless innings in relief. Robertson also pitched a scoreless inning. That's 4 scoreless innings from our bullpen.

The Bad

Pettitte was quite bad going 5 innings and allowing 4 runs. Whether his back is still hurting him is anyone's guess, but I would guess yes.

The Ugly

We lost, and yes, I know we have to lose sometimes, but it doesn't make it any easier.

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. Posada hit another homerun since returning from hamstring resting vacation, and adds yet another jack to help get children healthy.

Jorge Posada 8hr = $8.00
Hideki Matsui 8hr = $8.00
Derek Jeter 7hr = $7.00
Mark Teixeira 16hr = $16.00
Nick Swisher 10hr = $10.00
Robinson Cano 9hr = $9.00
Johnny Damon 10hr = $10.00
Melky Cabrera 5hr = $5.00
Jose Molina 1hr = $1.00
Alex Rodriguez 7hr = $7.00
Brett Gardner 2hr = $2.00
Total = $83.00
