PrintThe Yankees defeated the Angels five to three today, winning the series, and heading back to New York with a lot of confidence. The Yankees went 6-3 on this roadtrip, winning one out of three vs. the Mariners, sweeping the Athletics, and taking two out of three from the Angels.
Bartolo Colon was good enough, surrendering three runs in five and a third innings pitched. David Robertson relieved Colon and put on his usual act, walking two, and raising Yankees fans collective heartbeats. Houdini emerged unscathed, and Joba Chamberlain and Mariano Rivera finished the Angels off.
Mark Teixeira hit two home runs, and Nick Swisher belted one off the foul pole in right, to total four of the Yankees five runs. Brett Gardner had the other RBI.
Jorge Posada was 2-4 and Francisco Cervelli was 0-4. Jesus Montero was not present.
For the Jeter lovers out there, Jeter went 1-5. Jeter is now fourteen hits way from 3,000.

They changed the rules of math
Now 3+2+1 = 8. They also got rid of long division and are just rounding Pi off to 3 in all cases. You didn’t hear about that?

Since only one run scored without benefir of a HR
Do we have to give the win back?

Is there an equivalent of Kevin Long for baserunning?
And if so, can he have a talk with Brett Gardner? 10 SB, 7 CS is providing negative value on the basepaths and it is frustrating given GGBG’s raw speed.
He’s doing something wrong, and hopefully someone soon will figure out what.
Can we also
get him to convince Jorge to not try to stretch doubles into triples or singles into doubles. He wasn’t fast enough to do that even when he was a young player, let alone now.

That play was so much worse than that
It wasn’t just a case of stretching a double into a triple. It was one of the worst, stupidest cases of bad baserunning I’ve ever seen watching the sport.

No, really.
It was downright moronic. He’s always been an idiotic baserunner, but that was awful. Saying he tried to make a double a triple doesn’t do it justice.

It really does not
It’s like he didn’t even look to see if someone was covering 3rd base, which is unbelievable.

Even worse
He thought nobody was covering 2nd base since Kendrick threw behind him. Angels 1B was in place. Really 2 bonehead plays there, Kendrick throwing to 2nd and Jorge assuming the first baseman was not trailing the play like he’s supposed to.

A great road-trip for NY and a good warmup for the tough homestand ahead of us.
Interesting stat from the NY Times recap for today’s game:
The Yankees are a major league-best 15-3 in day games, and have scored 115 runs in those 18 contests.
Let’s have more day games! :)
Farewell and thanks to #46.
There was a theory about Tex's day-night splits last year
People were wondering whether it was his eyesight causing his much better batting in day games.
Doesn’t seem like it could be a team issue, though. Unless seeing Hank too much causes some sort of eye disease. That’s a possibility, for sure.

I hope none of our pitchers see the base path.
I cringe the entire at bat anyway, just from them getting pitches thrown near their fingers.

Hey gang, just a heads-up if you haven’t seen it already—story posted by the NY Times a couple of hours ago:
MLB still investigating A-Rod’s treatment by Galea
Farewell and thanks to #46.
From the article:
In recent weeks, the investigators have sought to obtain the medical records Galea kept about his treatment of Rodriguez. To date, they have been unsuccessful despite the fact that Rodriguez has cleared the way for the records to be released, according to two people with knowledge of the request.
Unless there’s some really elaborate gaming going on here, A-Rod’s signing off on letting Galea release the records makes me cautiously optimistic that nothing’s ultimately going to come of this in terms of any possible MLB penalties, etc.
Farewell and thanks to #46.
I guess Dirk can’t do everything, eh?

Home Runs are EEEEEEEEEEEEEvil!
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
A lot of people have criticized the Yankees for hitting too many home runs, saying they can't score any other way.
So it became a joke that they don’t count and are evil.
