The Good
A-Rod and Matsui both went yard, but the best thing was that Pettitte threw a quality 6 innings, allowing 3 runs and his arm felt fine.
The Bad
Bruney gave up a monster homerun in the 7th, and Albaladejo gave up another run in the 8th. These guys are easily pitching their way off the roster.
The Ugly
We scored 2 runs yesterday and that was it. I may not be a bona fide baseball guru, but something tells me you need more than 2 runs against the Angels. But their pitching dominated us. Six of our players went hitless last night.
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. A-Rod and Matsui both went yard, as Matsui inches closer to 30 for the year, and though it wasn't enough to win the game, it was enough to bring a smile to a sick child's face. Thank you A-Rod and Matsui.

I would so love to win a game in Anaheim. Like tonight, for instance. Is that so much to ask? Just one stupid game?
It might be. They have our number in that stadium, and Chad Gaudin isn't exactly the best pitcher we can hope to take the mound. But I still hold on to hope. Slim as it is.
