Rally Monkey Can't Hold Back Gardner

The Good

Does anyone else notice that Gaudin is pitching way better than Joba at this point?

Anyways, big night for the offense as A-Rod and Posada hit a couple of 2-run homeruns in the third inning, with Matsui hitting one of his own in the 5th. The game was won off of Brett Gardners stealthy feet.

The Bad

An error off the glove of Cano led to a run scoring and the game tieing, and against the Angels, you don't exactly want to be giving them extra runs.

The Ugly

These 10:00pm start times on the east coast are killing me.

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. For the second time in as many nights, A-Rod and Matsui both went yard. Posada joined them as well. Matsui might could end up with 30 homeruns by seasons end.

Jorge Posada 22hr = $22.00
Hideki Matsui 28hr = $28.00
Derek Jeter 17hr = $17.00
Mark Teixeira 37hr = $37.00
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 27hr = $27.00
