The Good
A-Rod hit his 30th homerun of the season, making it his 87th straight 30-homerun season.
The Bad
The Yankees are sure picking a terrible time to lose steam. The post season starts next week, and we've lost 6 of our last 8 games. Unless they pick it up through the weekend, there's going to be no momentum. I'm hoping they pick it up come crunch time, but there are some concerns.
The Ugly
Okay, so Javy Vazquez was not Bronny Cash's greatest idea. Another dissapointing start where he allowed 7 runs in 4.2 innings. This fully assures he'll be pitching out of the bullpen come post season. Burnett should probably join him.
But do the Babies have to Suffer?
The answer is no. A-Rod hit a homerun yesterday, not just to reach a personal milestone, but to make sure the RJG blog gave $2 to the Children's Health Fund as part of their homerun club obligations. We're happy to do it.

Yanks Clinch Playoff Berth, Not Birth, That Would Be Weird
The Good
The Yanks, after toying around with the idea for about a week, decided to make the playoffs after all. Sabathia pitched, Mo pitched, the offense scored.
The Bad
The post game celebration was more understated than last year. Mostly the now even older Yankees sipped on brandy while they discussed investment options in the den.
The Ugly
Not a single RBI hit. We scored five runs purely by arguing that there were ghost runners on base whenever something happened in the game that would have pushed one of those ghost runners in. The umps bought it, but Cito Gaston got ejected for arguing that there are no ghost runners in professional baseball, only playground kiddie baseball. Needless to say, Gaston is no longer welcome on most sandlots.
Flexing the Small Ball?
The Yankees scored five runs by hitting balls into the outfield that would ultimately be caught and taking walks. Oh well, we're in the playoffs so we're not going to complain.

Post Script
How in the world does A-Rod have 29 home runs on the season? He had like three or four, then he hurt his calf, and now he has 29. How is that possible?

Pretty Bad
The Good
What mechanical adjustments could possibly merit the absolute tear Curtis Granderson has been on? Kevin Long is either the best hitting coach in all history, or Curtis Granderson was swinging one handed all this time, whatever the case, Granderson hit his 24th homerun of the season last night.
Our bullpen gave us 5.2 innings of scoreless baseball.
The Bad
Is it me or are the Yankees stalled right now? It would be nice to enter the postseason with force, but it looks like we're just puttering in.
The Ugly
Does anyone have any confidence in AJ Burnett at this point? This seasons a loss for him, and I hope he comes back next season stronger, but in between then we have a post season to compete in. I don't know about the rest of you, but I do not want Burnett handling a baseball in a postseason rotation.
Oh and I almost forgot to mention that he lasted 2.1 innings allowing 7 runs in yesterdays game.
Couple Yanks Ready for the Postseason

The Walk-Off Walk
The Good
Phil Hughes pitched an excellent game going 6 strong innings allowing just 1 run. He was a bit shaky in the 7th, but Robertson was able to handle the inning. In fact, the bullpen was generally strong with one exception.
Also good, A-Rod blasted a 2-run homerun to temporarily put the Yankees ahead, until the 9th.
Juan Miranda, the most unlikely of hero's, came through in the 10th with a bases-loaded walk, to win the game.
Lastly, I am not going to bother to write a review of Saturday's game and make you relive that experience. This definitely fits under the "good" category.
The Bad
Lets go with Matsuzaka's 8 innings of 2 run ball. Never mind that his ERA was pushing 5 on the season, and that he hasn't given up less than 4 runs in a start since August 5, the Yankees made the man look like he belongs in the major leagues. Jeter especially with his 2 strikeouts on pitches nearly in the same spot.
The Ugly
Have to give this to Mo's blown save. It normally wouldn't matter that they stole 4 bases on him, since he normally would just get a couple weak groundballs and some strikeouts. Instead it cost him. That's 3 consecutive appearances that Mo has given up a run. Concerning? Not really, but worth mentioning.
Flexing in the Bronx
Though we won't review Saturday's futile effort, we will include Granderson's homerun as well as A-Rod's jack from last night to our tally of homeruns and donations to the Children's Health Fund. Speaking of Granderson, he has really fought his way back to have a respectable season. The last few weeks have been really impressive. A-Rod is now 1 homerun shy of hitting 30 on the season.

We Clawed Back, But Clawed Short

Total = $372
The offense came alive last night hitting 6 homeruns including multi-homeruns from A-Rod and Teixeira.
The Bad
Though the Yankees clawed their way back and put the tieing run at the plate with 2 outs in the 9th, they couldn't get it done. An ugly swing-and-a-miss strikeout for Cano left A-Rod stranded at 2nd, and fans weeping in the stands.
The Ugly
Andy Pettitte showed massive signs of rust and maybe even some tetanus poisoning with his 3.1 innings of 7 run ball (6 earned). Though he may shake off the rust, tetanus is a little more difficult to shake, and could prove costly in late innings of his starts.
Homeruns Not the Problem
Although this loss cast the Tampa Bay Rays into first in the division, children everywhere were able to breath a sigh of relief when they heard the Yankees hit 6 homeruns, drawing $12 additional dollars from the RJG blog to heal the babies by way of the Children's Health Fund.

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.

Rain Not Kind to Yankees
The Good
Jeter's continued his surge to save his numbers with a pair of hits in last night's game. Burnett appeared to be doing well before the rain out, which I suppose is good. Berkman hit a solo homerun.
The Bad
Despite a decent showing through 3 innings, Burnett was stuck with the loss giving him a 10-14 record on the season. The biggest difference for Burnett between last season and this one is that he used to watch 300 before every start last season, where now he watches Sense and Sensibility. It apparently hasn't produced the results we all hope for on the mound.
The Ugly
4 releivers, 6 innings, 6 runs, ugly.
At Least A Child Was Helped
Lance Berkman hit a solo shot for the children, but that was probably the only reedemable part of last night's offense.

Yanks Take Second Game from Rays
The Good
Phil Hughes gave us 6.1 innings of three run ball. The Yankees scored five runs in the first, giving us all the offense we would need. Then they gave us some more offense, just to maintain the five run lead.
The Bad
five walks isn't great, but Hughes limited the damage.
The Ugly
As best I can tell, the Rays used every pitcher on their roster in last night's game. Is Girardi ghost managing the Rays?
I Sort of Expected More
Considering the score, I expected more than one solo shot from Swisher, but that's all we got. Sorry folks.

Yanks Take First Game of Series from Rays
The Good
Where to start. Ivan Nova gave us five scoreless innings, and allowed 3 runs over 5.2.
Is Kevin Long a wizard? He magically turned Granderson into a legitimate hitter with flashes of power in a matter of days. Congress should probably investigate whether having Kevin Long as your hitting coach is an unfair competitive advantage.
Lastly, with the AL East race so close, checking the box score every morning has the same anxious feel that it does during the playoffs. I haven't felt this way since last November, and it's nice to have it back.
The Bad
I guess Nova falling apart a bit in the sixth was bad, but the kid has really shown us something. He'll learn to avoid those sorts of innings with time, but he was one out away from a quality start. Not bad for a late season call-up slotted as our number five guy.
The Ugly
After the loss, Joe Maddon went into the visiting clubhouse and chewed out his players. "You lolligag around the bases," he said.
Immediately a hand went up. No one in the room knew what 'lolligag' meant, seeing as no one on the Rays is old enough to purchase alcohol legally in France. This ignorance of his old-timey sayings frustrated Maddon to no end. He then trashed the visiting clubhouse and made his players clean up the mess. Then he was all, "Now you know, and knowing is half the battle."
Immediately another hand went up. "Is that from a movie or something?" came the question. Maddon was pissed.
Just As We Expected
When Brian Cashman traded for Curtis Granderson last winter, we all expected him to hit at least thirty-five home runs. A day. For now, we'll live with two. For now.

Yanks Take Chance to Sweep and Throw It Out the Window
The Good
Pettitte pitched well in his first game back, going six strong innings, allowing only 1 run.
The Bad
As the starting pitching is beginning to stabilize, the bullpen is starting to destabilize. It's called balance.
The Ugly
Missed offensive opportunities, runs allowed by both Mo and Wood, the Knicks, all these things are ugly. Then the Giants go and lose to Indianapolis. Man, just a tough day for New York sports fans.
Just Plain Selfishness
No home runs, no donations to the kids. That's messed up.
