Cruisin' - Sabathia returns to form

by Travis G on Jul 7, 2009 11:37 PM EDT in Game Recap

The Yanks scored a few early runs and that was all CC Sabathia needed. The only blemish on his record was a second inning homer by Michael Cuddyer. Outside of that, he cruised to his eighth win.

On the offensive side the heroes were Mark Teixeira (4-6) and Brett Gardner (3-5, 3B). Despite scoring 10 runs, no Yankee homered (for the first time in nine days).

And what a catch by Carlos Gomez.

- Elsewhere, Alfredo Aceves has been named Thursday's starter. His limit will be 65 pitches.

The important thing is that the Yanks notched their 11th win in 13 games. Hope to see more winning styles. Just like what Gomez did in catching that ball. Awesome! Anyway, in relation to sports event, People are interested in seeing a Steve McNair’s wife photo. A Steve McNair’s wife photo is of more interest after the slain NFL player was reported as having an affair with a 20-year-old woman, Saleh Kazemi. Rumors are starting to fly of a Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi affair and murder suicide. Many would put a payday loan towards figuring it out. McNair was drafted into the NFL in 1995, retiring in 2007, and was a regular feature in the playoffs for both the Tennessee Titans and then the Baltimore Ravens. Many would give a cash advance for a Steve McNair’s wife photo, and the culprit behind his tragic end.

65 pitches for Fredo?

I guess those 4 innings the other day was a method to the madness.

Officially he’s now the next Ramiro Mendoza. What a find ACE-ves is.

CC was just on. It was one of the most tension free games of the season to date. As stated above, kudos to the young Mr. Gomez for a terrific catch on A-Rod or the beating would have been much worse. You would have thought the Twins would have been looking for a little payback after the sweep at the Stadium earlier this year ( 3 walk offs!). Let’s hope AJ can keep the ball rolling.
As far as the Cervelli demotion, I think the club feels they are paying Molina a subtantial amount of money and he’s a solid back up catcher that should be on the roster. Cervelli does bring some energy with him. David Cone had very positive comments about Cervelli. Now if he can continue to improve as a hitter…
