New York Yankees @ Los Angeles Angels
NEW YORK YANKEES
Johnny Damon, DH
Derek Jeter, SS
Bobby Abreu, RF

PREGAME NOTES:
The Yanks are 3-12 on the season when Ian Kennedy or Phil Hughes starts, but 60-41 when anyone else takes the hill. Ouch.
Xavier Nady is 17-for-46 (.370 / .420 / .783) with five homers, four doubles, 13 RBI, and 10 runs scored in his 13 games as a Yankee.
Dan Giese is a lifetime 0-0, 0.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP in one relief appearance against the Angels.
John Lackey is a lifetime 4-7, 4.89 ERA, 1.56 WHIP in 14 starts against the Yanks. He is 4-1, 3.56 ERA, 1.10 WHIP in 7 starts at home on the season.
Yanks' hitters vs. Lackey can be viewed here. Angels' hitters vs. Giese can be viewed here.

Nice catch by Abreu.
Damn, I wish I could selectively mute McCarver.

Can't watch today's game
Fox blackout rules suck. I’m relegated to GameDay.

Carlos Zambrano just hit an opposite field homerun at Wrigley
It was no cheapie either. He smoked that ball. I’d take his bat over Melky’s anytime.

I'm wondering how long Giese can go today
He may only have 80-90 pitches in him and that could be a problem without a long man.
Hopefully, he keeps throwing strikes and doesn’t have a long inning.

Never mind......
I didn’t realize this was the 5th inning already. That’s what happens when you can’t watch the damn game on TV.

Next inning is big for Giese
He may not have a lot left and the heart of the order is coming up. 6 innings from Giese would be sweet.

I'll take 1 ER in 6.0 IP from any Yankee pitcher
Good for him. He certainly earned himself another start.

It's funny
In an attempt to praise the virtue of it, McCarver just gave a perfect explanation for why the hit and run is stupid.

Girardi
had Ramirez warming in the 6th for relief of Giese, then brings in Veras in 7th, and Ramirez has to warm up again

Good grief....they look like the Bad News Bears out there. What a complete waste of a great outing by Geise.

Atta boy Joe.
Leave Edwar out there to get hammered and let the game get out of hand.
Great job.

Gerardi = Torre II
Gerardi is another Torre - over-managing to the team’s detriment.
It doesn’t help when A-Rod chokes in every clutch situation, though….
This has been one of the most frustrating seasons in decades. I’m taking a week off from watching.

mccarver is such a frickin
asshole..
he’s going on and on about how the yanks have so little money tied in their starting pitching, and that’s why they are struggling, and using today as an example.. um.. starting pitching wasn’t the issue today, dipshit.

"if you are going to overpay, overpay for pitching"
you know, the most volatile, unpredictable commodity in the sport.

i feel like i waste a lot
of breath complaining about Tim McDumbass. He thinks he knows everything as a former catcher… too bad he played like 50 years ago..

I love when someone talks as if they know everything.
Especially when they are clueless as McCarver constantly demonstrates. It amazes me how FOX keeps him on the payroll.
