Down With The King!

The Good

CC Sabathia has been gritting out starts this year, which isn't what you want to see out of your ace, but yesterday, Sabathia was a strange combination of dominating and being largely hittable.  His final line was 6.1 innings with 3 runs (2 earned).  Nothing too exciting.  He gave up 10 hits and 2 walks in that time, which speaks of a pitcher whose pitches weren't fooling anyone.  But then he also struck out 10 batters, which makes it seem like he was unhittable.  It's a paradox.

The Bad

Raul Ibanez hit a homerun against us, and it reminded me how clutch he was for us.  I would be more upset about it if we weren't winning, but we are, so I can't shed too many tears about it....for now.

The Ugly

Austin Romine's 0-4 night has brought his average down to .071, an average last held by Ben Francisco.  Judging by how secure Francisco's job has been, we can only assume Romine's a lock for the near future.

With Wins Come Donations

Unless you don't hit homeruns, which the Yankees could not be bothered to do last night.  No money for the kiddos.
