Pitchers Duel Falls Flat

The Good

No Bothan spies died transmitting the events of this game.

The Bad

Where do you start, the Yankees left 16 men on base, Posada struck out 3 times in 3 at bats, and we twice loaded the bases to no avail. Where the offense was bad, the pitching was ugly.

The Ugly

Pitching. While the offense missed several chances to break the game open, the pitching allowed 10 runs essentially burying the Yankees. These 10 runs include a bases loaded walk by Sabathia, and 3 consecutive plunkings to drive in a run by Vazquez. Against a competitor, this just won't cut it.

Silver Lining?

At least Thames hit a homerun last night dropping two additional dollars into the Children's Health Fund coffers.

Posada 18hr = $36
Granderson 21hr = $42
Cano 28hr = $56
Swisher 27hr = $54
Jeter 10hr = $20
Johnson 2hr = $4
Rodriguez 25hr = $50
Teixeira 30hr = $60
Thames 12hr = $24
Gardner 5hr = $10
Winn 1hr = $2
Miranda 3hr = $6
Curtis 1hr = $2
Kearns 2hr = $4
Nunez 1hr = $2
Berkman 1hr = $2
Total = $374
