Masahiro Tanaka had an off day, giving up four runs over seven innings and only striking out three batters. Thankfully, the offense heard our pleas and backed him up with some timely hits and a couple of dingers. To be fair though, happy as I am that Phil Hughes has seemingly found himself on the Twins, he owed us a couple meatballs.

Chase Whitley gets the start for the Yankees today. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the Yankees and their fans declared in one voice: We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!
Or, you know, Let's Go Yankees.
(I love that speech from ID4)
