Streak snapped at nine

Well, it had to end sometime. It started badly with a Jimmy Rollins homerun, and ended 7-4. The Yanks never led and the closest they came was within three runs.

Burnett pitched poorly (6 ip, 5 er), there's no pussy-footing around it; Wang, who entered in relief, didn't pitch much better (3 ip, 2 er), yet lowered his ERA to a robust 25.00. The good news is that his velocity was better (averaging 93 MPH, topping out at 95).

A-Rod, Jeter and Tex all homered. A-Rod also hit his first double of the year.

The Yanks put just one runner into scoring position all night.

The Sox and the Jays both lost, so the Yanks don't lose any ground.

Andy Pettitte goes against J.A. Happ tomorrow in a FOX game. That means Joe Buck and Tim McCarver! Oh, the joy!

at least it's not a Red Sox game

you can almost hear Joe Buck spanking it every time Pedroia and Youkilis come to the plate

Buck

I like Buck’s voice. I am not a 96er since I have been a Yankee fan since 1977 but the 77 and 78 wins were not as important as 96’s was and I will forever remember Buck saying " Hayes waits…the Yankees are champions of baseball"!! For him delivering that statement and what it meant to me he will always be cool to me!!
