Wins are wins, even if they make you want to vomit several times over along the way.
Javier Vazquez did not have his best stuff today, striking out a just a single batter while allowing 5 runs on 9 hits across 5 innings. The next three Yankees pitchers - David Robertson, Boone Logan, and Joba Chamberlain - allowed nearly as many baserunners (8) as they got outs (9).
When you pitch this badly, it really, really helps to have the other team pitch even worse, and Joel Piniero and Scot Shields did just that. Shields was particularly awful, entering what was a close game in the 7th and quickly making it a not-close game.
Play Of The Game: As much as I want to give props to Colin Curtis for his first career homer, Juan Miranda's solo shot three batters earlier gave the Yankees their biggest boost in terms of WPA.
Quote Of The Game: Due to my rampant immaturity which causes me to giggle at the use of certain anatomically proper words, there's a tie! Talking about Carl Crawford's "injury" last night (look up the video in slow motion), Great Gatsby said:
Gary Thorne (on) MASN said he suffered a "testicular concussion", now that would be a scoop........the idiot meant contusion but said otherwise
To which 49er16 said:
When you first read or hear testicular, you pretty much stop right there paying attention and just feel sorry for the guy.
One would hope that Crawford did not repeat the mistake Adrian Beltre made last year...

Both teams had plenty of missed opportunities. I’m always relieved to come out on top of days like this.

would have been very ugly loss!

Best part of this awful game was Colin Curtis (who?) crapping on the ump
Like how epic was that?
Yankees all day.

I'm a sucker for any joke that involves the word "testicle"
I was originally going to say “I’m a sucker for anything that involves testicles” but then I thought about how that would sound……
good call

I know
I shouldn’t laugh in that “area”, but Thorne made me do it, wait until HE hears it.

Nice to get the split.
I usually don’t care what the pitching numbers look like against LAAAAA, for some reason they just have the Yanks’ pitchers number.
Go New York Go!
I will post Royals scouting report later tonight, GO YANKEES!

I'm not sure Thorne's comment would've been much of a scoop.
Men are often accused of thinking with that part of the anatomy.
(Posting from enemy territory in West Springfield, MA. Boston losing 4-2 to A’s right now causing much dejection.)

How did Joba pitch?

I watched the reply of the ejection
Ump def had a quick hook, glad it worked out for us in the end tho
That was a weird game.
Followed it at work, must have been interesting to watch. Definitely couldn’t have predicted Curtis & Miranda bailing Javy out.
Did you know Joe Morgan thinks Cano will win a batting title one day?
That being said, Javy deserves a win like this.
He wasn’t that good today, but the offense helped him. There have been far more games this year when Javy’s pitched great and gotten zero support.

Gotta love that the
Red Sox are now 8 games back in the loss column.

Good game
Of course, I didn’t see any of it with my internet, AND power at my apartment somehow getting disconnected, and I didn’t get it connected again until 2 hours ago. I have NO idea how it happened, but I missed the game so…
Tough game for A-Rod. Everybody has a tough one once in a while though. Hopefully he moves closer to 600 tomorrow against KC.
Well, since I took the day off from work (well, I actually called in sick), I have a ton of freaking work to catch up on again and now I’m sad. Can’t wait for the weekend. Go Yanks.
"I'm looking at 600 as first base. I want to run right through it and use it as a platform and a spring board for more to come"- Alex Rodriguez
My hat's off to you Yankees today
The assessment that the Angels’ pitching sucked worse than the Yankees’ pitching was dead on. I think that’s the last match-up between our two teams for the regular season. With any luck, the Rangers will all suffer from some form of the Carl Crawford Syndrome (also known as Testicular Concussion), go on a losing streak, and the Angels will meet up with the Yankees in the playoffs (I can dream, can’t I?).
Maybe today they did
But yesterday and the series overall… not even CLOSE. Angel pitching was far better yesterday

Fairly high stress level at times.. but a win is a win
A-Rod 500 and 600 against KC? Anyone….. ?

I'd be surprised
He may start trying a little too hard to get the 600th so I think it may take a while.
We'll see

People who are old enough know that 'PSA' doesn't stand for Pinstripe Alley.
It stands for Prostate Specific Antigen. Carl Crawford should have his checked after that incident.
Yesterday’s win was one of the crappier- played affairs of the season. But it looks the same in the standings. And to think, I would have sent Marcus Thames up to pinch hit for Gardner.

I heard
Giambi is going to mail Crawford his gold thong.

I remember last year Adrian Beltre's first game back.. Griffey Jr. had Beltre's walkup song changed to "The Nutcracker"
LOL
