Yankees 6, Blue Jays 4: Countdown

by jscape2000 on Sep 5, 2009 5:47 PM EDT in Game Recap

61 Ks for Dave Robertson- 41IP.

20 19: the new magic number, following the Sox loss.

13 wins for Andy Pettitte- second on the team, and on his way to his best season since 2005.

8 men left on base by Swisher.

7 hits for Jeter to pass Lou Gehrig (I'm rooting for a 3 hit game tomorrow and a 4 hit game on Monday when Edwantsacracker and I will be at the first game of the double header).

6 wild innings from Andy Pettitte today

5 games played in September, 4 wins.

4 hits allowed- none by the bullpen.

3 career saves for Phil Hughes. Leave him in the bullpen forever? (sarcasm)

2 hits and 2 RBIs for Melky- the kid is getting hot again.

1 win to take the series.

I'll be at the Stadium...

Monday night, and Wednesday night… so sorry John, I’m pulling for one of those to be Jeet’s night!! Which means it’ll probably happen Tuesday…

I wish the playoffs could start right now, when this team is just rolling… but they are playing better overall this year than they have in years, so I am trying to have faith that it’ll translate to October.

I’ll be there Wednesday night, too. I’d be ok with him wait until then.

Unless Pettitte pulls a Moose and retires the opening day rotation in 2010 is going to be..
1. C.C.
2. A.J.
3. Pettitte
4. Joba
5. Hughes
Hughes’ bullpen days are over after this season.
