Yankees Strike Back

The Good

8 and 0. Those are the two numbers that stand out in yesterdays. 8 runs from the Yankees, and 0 runs allowed by AJ Burnett. Further more, only one of those runs was by a homerun. That means that yes, the Yankees can in fact score runs without the ball leaving the park.

Also good, Chamberlain and Mitre pitched 2.2 innings allowing 0 runs. Who knew that was possible?

The Bad

Jeter's 0-5 night stands out. Jeter's been having a sub-par year at the plate which is a bit odd considering that this is a walk year. My guess is that Jeter ends up batting over .300 for the season.

The Ugly

We will all be subject to another day of anticipating A-Rod's 600th homerun.

The Yankees Do Love The Children

Robinson Cano hit a solo homerun yesterday, granting a $2 donation from the RJG to the Children's Health Fund, and giving hope to the children. Thank you Cano.
