Burnett Pitches Yankees to a Win

The Good

7 innings and 2 runs out of AJ Burnett was quite a good appearance. Coke-Hughes-Rivera closed the game out with 2 innings of scoreless baseball. A-Rod and Cano both hit homeruns.

The Bad

Nick Swisher went 0-4, and is now down to a .236 batting average.

The Ugly

Posada had to sit for a second consecutive game after taking a pitch of his thumb. He is back in the lineup today.

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.
