The Good
Sabathia threw 7 shutout innings recording 8 strikeouts. Absolutely dominant. Hughes and Mariano pitched in an inning a piece, and both recorded 2 strikeouts. Cano hit a homerun, and Damon had a bloop single to drive in a pair late in the game.
The Bad
Matsuzaka gave us plenty of opportunities to take a commanding lead, but the Yankee bats became weak at the site of runners in scoring position. Matsuzaka even loaded the bases with 0 outs and we still couldn't score. Terrible.
The Ugly
A-Rod, who was a hero yesterday, just doesn't know what to do with Matsuzaka. He went 0-4, leaving 6 on base. He grounded out to the catcher with the bases loaded, and even was called out for interference when he struck out and started walking in front of Victor Martinez's throw to second base where Jeter was running. I believe A-Rod has one hit against Matsuzaka in his career. Its time he break that spell.
Respect Jeter's Gangster is for the Children

Derek Jeter 17hr = $17.00
Mark Teixeira 37hr = $37.00
Nick Swisher 27hr = $27.00
Robinson Cano 24hr = $24.00
Johnny Damon 24hr = $24.00
Melky Cabrera 12hr = $12.00
Jose Molina 1hr = $1.00
Alex Rodriguez 28hr = $28.00
Brett Gardner 3hr = $3.00
