Game 11 Orioles vs Yankees

By Frank Solares

Lets start with the good news, the Yankees are 7-4 and in sole possession of First place and after being down 5-0 they came back with the help of Posada’s bat (seven hits but five of them are HR)

Bartolo was brilliant again, I would keep him as the long man.

2936 for Jeter with a hit up the middle

Swisher got pie!

Only three hitters on the Yankees are currently hitting, Arod stays on fire he is hitting .412, had 3 hits with an RBI. Cano batting .326 on the year had two hits tonight to add to his totals and Martin is batting a respectful power full .289.

Mo saved his own victory! (I know he does not get a save)

Now the bad news, Yes the Yankees are in first place, Yes the Yankees have played ok through 11 games but that said.

No one else is hitting just look at the outfield from left to right Gardner .150, Granderson .194, Swisher .211.

The captain is under the Mendoza line, He is JETER he will bounce back he always does (I look at the back of the baseball card). Jete, please don’t lose your confidence we need you this year!

Recap

HR: Posada (5, 9th inning off Gregg, 0 on, 0 out)

RBI: Cano (8), Teixeira (11), Rodriguez, A (9), Martin (9), Posada (8), Swisher (7)

Game 10 Orioles vs Yankees

The Yankees are finally in first place. It took them 10 games but it actually came through fruition. The Baltimore Orioles are a nice good team, hell they are the team of the future. That said they had not played a team of the Yankee caliber. Both teams are now 6-4 tied for first and they are 5 games ahead of the Red Sox in the loss column.

Sprinkle 2 hits from the Captain, Yeah MAN he is now 66 hits away from 3000 hits and OHH by the way, he tied Barry US Bonds in career hit list.

Alex goes boom for his fourth, and Jorgie Juiced number four for his first hit in 20 AB.

AJ has 3 victories, so much for the bloggers and internet hacks (like me) wanting him to be traded. I did say he was going to have a bounce back year.

Sori scoreless 8th

Mo scoreless 9th for his 563rd save of his career, Mariano raised his save total to 5.

The Yankees have played the Tigers, Redsox, Twins and Orioles a 6-4 start at this point is awesome.

OHH AND THE SOX ARE NOW 2-9, Just incase I failed to mention it.

Game 8 Yankees vs Red Sox

by

Frank Solares

The Yankees tied up the series at one with a win on Saturday vs Boston. NY is now 5-3 on this young season and the Sox are now 1-7. Its still early but the Yankees want to continue winning ballgames and will await the eventual low in the season. The experts say that a good team is expected to win 54 games in a season and lose 54 games in a season. It’s what you do with the other 54 games that define you as a team.

Yanks offense has been great so far this year. They have combined for 18 homeruns in eight games.

The bullpen for the most part kept them in the game and the lineup had several contributors.

The Captain had a hit to bring the magic number down to 67 and the captain had a good play on the field when he though out a runner at the 3rd.


HR: Martin 2 (3), Granderson (2), Cano (2)

The Birthday boy wins the game and all is great with the world again.

Game 6 Twins vs Yankees

By Frank Solares

The Yankees AJ Burnett had a horrible year both on and off the field. This year has started better than anyone hoped or expected and AJ won his second game of the year.

Yes the Yankees are now 4-2 and AJ has half the victories. Every day he is on the mound he is improving not to mention healing. When your personal and professional life has turmoil nothing is easy and all that is being changed one pitch at a time.

Much to the dismay of the Media and the four letter network the captain had two hits today he is now 69 hits away from 3000.

Sori scoreless 8th after a bad outing two nights ago

Mo scoreless 9th for his 562 save of his career. Mariano now has saved all 4 of the victories.

Now they take on an angry Red Sox team who are 0-6 for the year and the crazy and ridiculous fans are giving up on the season. This is a team that arguably might win 97 games. People should have perspective and cut these guys a break. Its April 7th you insane crazy fans.

Game 4 Twins vs Yankees

By Frank Solares

Yankees improve season record to 3-1

The hitting Stars of the Game were Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada each driving two runs on Homeruns.

HR:
Rodriguez (2, 1st inning off Baker, S, 1 on, 2 out)

Posada (3, 2nd inning off Baker, S, 1 on, 0 out)

RBI:
Rodriguez 2 (4),
Posada 2 (6)

Ivan Nova was impressive he had 6 strong innings giving up 3 runs on 6 hits. Nova the fourth starter earned his spot on the rotation by pitching great in spring training.

The bullpen this year has been a tale of two bullpens. The 7th, 8th and 9th innings guys have been solid, the rest of the bullpen not so much.

Joba scoreless 7th

Sori scoreless 8th

Mo scoreless 9th for his 561 save of his career. (SV-3)

Game 2 Tigers Vs Yankees

By
Frank Solares

Yankees win 10-6

The Bombers had another impressive hitting game. Tex had another 3 run homerun it was his second in as many days.

Russel Martin had a 3 run blast himself and caught AJ’s 5 impressive innings despite having a cold.

Jete had 2 hits bringing his Avg to a shocking .333 some one should tell DJ he is on the down side of his career. How dare he get 2 hits oh and his D was surprisingly well for today he could stay at short and the Captain is now 72 hits away from that magic number.

Four players had multi hit games, three hitters had multi RBI games. Alex goes Boom, Tex was on the Mark and Russell had muscle.

HR:
Teixeira (2, 2nd inning off Penny, 2 on, 1 out),
Martin (1, 5th inning off Thomas, B, 2 on, 2 out),
Rodriguez, A (1, 6th inning off Villarreal, 0 on, 0 out).

RBI:

Rodriguez, A 2 (2), Cano (1), Swisher (2), Teixeira 3 (6), Martin 3 (3).
2-out RBI: Martin 3.

The Bullpen was not impressive and Mo had to come in and get his second save of the year. He is now 40 away from 600.
