    Rivera has 3 saves already. Didn't have that until like early May last year.

    Wang + Joba + Mo = W


    Middle of the order A-Rod, Abreu, Matsui is hitting well so far. I expect the others to come around soon.

    You know who I wish our 1B was? Nick Johnson. Or at least a healthier version of him that wasn't on the DL most of the time.



    1.5 games back

    I love these Yankee Posts. I feel sorry for you guys, you have your hopes set SO high and what happens.....they barely make it into the playoffs and they lose to the Indians :-P

    i know people will harp on the lack of hitting, but the fact that their three wins are all low-scoring games is a good sign.

    I actually rather see Betemit playing. I think it is a shame he cant' get a chance to play everyday somewhere. He could be a good ball player.

    I always thought he would be a star for the Braves one day. He is a super talented player, but he just can't quite make it happen consistently. Id rather have Andy Phillips over both of em' but that is no longer an option.

    Speaking of option, I see Albaladejo was sent back down to Scranton to make room for Pettitte. It's a shame, as much money as the Yanks throw away, they aren't willing to bite the bullet and pay someone to take Farnsworthless off their hands. I'm not convinced that Hawkins will is going to help much either. I'd rather see guys like Albaladejo and Veras out there in the pen.

    Moose on the hill tonight.

    I had a dream about derek last night...or maybe it was a nightmare....we were in bed together...there were three of us, he was in the middle...

    I was tossing and turning while we were all in bed together...I couldn't get comfortable so I got up, left the room and laid down somewhere else and slept...

    I called it a nightmare because last night I was actually tossing and turning in bed....I did slept but I just kept waking up and readjusting my pillows. I did this a few times last night:)

    I was in it too? Cool. How is it making love to a screenname? And was i the reason it was a nightmare? Go Yankees.

    i wouldn't expect jeter for the series in KC. he had an MRI and said it revealed a strained quad.

    a lot of notable items from tonight's postgame

    - Mussina ties Bob Gibson for 42nd on the all-time list with his 251st career victory. His 17 wins against Tampa Bay are second to Tim Wakefield, who has 19. He also tied David Cone for 21st on the all-time list with his 2,668 career strikeout.

    -Brian Bruney has now made 13 consecutive scoreless appearances if you include spring training.

    -Bobby Abreu is hitting .400 in the first seven games, he batted .253 last April

    -Jose Molina has a hit in every start this season and going back to last year has hit safely in 16 of his 20 starts

    - The Yankees have an error in six straight games, their longest streak since July 16-26, 2006 when they made 10 errors in six games.

    abreu's in a lot better shape this year. remember he got injured in spring training last season. and i'm not ready to count out mussina, especially with a start like this where he was working the curveball really well on both sides of the plate.

    Farnsworth and Hawkins with scoreless frames. :eek: Let's hope we can get more of those type outings from them. We don't have any off days for a while and Joba and Mo can't pitch every night (unless Torre pops back up).

    Great outing my Moose! I kinda expect him to be up and down all year, but you gotta give him credit for gutting it out every time he goes out there despite the fact that he doesn't have much left in the arm. Hopefully he can stay healthy enough to win 12 games or so.

    Hughes going tonight.

    Nothing happened to Kennedy. They saw it was going to rain. So they didn't want to waste his start. He might come in later. Yeah Bruney has been great so far this season.

    Did something happen to Shelley Duncan?
    They said something about him talking about it being emotional and taking time?

    They sent him down so they can bring up Alberto Gonzalez I believe.
