PREGAME NOTES:
- Richie Sexson, making his Yankee debut tonight against the left hander - will play first base and bat fifth.
- Billy Traber was sent back down to Scranton to make room for Sexson on the active roster and Phil Hughes was moved to the 60-day DL.
- Get this - the Yanks have not scored more than three runs off a starting pitcher since they scored six against Pedro Martinez on June 27.
- Greg Smith has never faced the Yanks or any of their hitters. He is 3-4, 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP in 10 starts on the road this season.
- Moose is a lifetime 17-10, 3.82 ERA, 1.20 WHIP in 34 starts against the Athletics. He is 6-5, 3.72 ERA, 1.27 WHIP in 12 starts at the Stadium this season.

We'll make them, no doubt
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

I hope so
But TB is going to be really tough to beat out. Right now, they are better than the Yanks. Hands down.

wow
a Richie Sexson at-bat that didn’t result in a home run or a strikeout?

Yeah
Moose is rolling right now. Give him a little wiggle room and he’ll pull through.

Huh...
I could be mistaken, but I could’ve sworn I just saw the bats show up.

So who gets the boot when Bruney is activated off the DL?
A.) Chad Moeller
B.) Justin Christian
C.) LaTroy Hawkins

Hawkins = Garbage
Latrash better be grateful that we’ve been so hard up b/c his ass doesn’t deserve to be pitching on any major league team. Dude sucks…..they said recently on YES how many games he was pretty much responsible for losing…...

Moeller, all the way.
Hawkins is still useful in the pen and they already have the two catchers. And Christian will probably go down to AAA once Johnny Damon comes back.

Oh, man!
I want to see Robertson in the 8th from now on.

It's a little early for that
I like Robertson too, but he’s in the role he needs to be right now. Let him prove himself before you start giving him larger roles.

Phil
Is it just me or does anyone else think Hughes is healing slower than my 85 yr old grandmother after she breaks her hip??? Seriously…..goddamn Bruney gonna be back soon and he was at first thought to be out for the season

Phil/trade rumors
1 more injury and Phil might start to be labled with the injury-prone tag.
Also as any1 heard of any trade rumors for the yanks recently? I was hearing A.J. Burnett but hes been very inconsistant this season.
