Game 108 - v LAA - L 6-13

Youch, Pettitte didn't have a nice night at all - pretty much like Moose the other night. It was Pudge's first game and he and Pettitte weren't on the same page at all. Lots of crossed signed, a missed ball and seems like some tension there.

Rubbish call by Hicock - home plate umpire - Pudge was ridiculously safe.

Bad bad game.

Game 107 - v BAL - W 13-3

Traded Kyle to Detroit for Pudge in the 7th :(

But we'll see how Pudge does going forward. Also Posada had shoulder surgery. Anyway, lots of good offense.

Game 106 - v BAL - L 6-7

Did not watch

Close and a good come back in the 9th, but not good enough

Game 105 - v BAL - L 4-13

Yikes, Moose just didn't have it tonight, which is to be expected - no-one can go on his place.
All round lets just forget this game eh.

Game 104 - @ BOS - L 2-9

Bummer - Ponson gave up runs early and Yankees never came back.

But at least it was a series win.

Didn't watch live - rain delay and I was in Amsterdam.

Game 103 - @ BOS - W 10-3

Nice win eh.

Wakefield pitching so knuckleball was hit for distance by Cano.

Nothing else to say but Alex hit by pitch but he took it.

Game 102 - @ BOS - W 1-0

Definitely a pitching game neither team should deal with starters - but Chamberlain got the result over Beckett thanks to Giambi beating the shift by hitting to the left to score Abreu.

Chamberlain threw up and high to Youkilis which looked nasty but was apparently an accident and given the game/score seems believable... but it's happened to Youkilis before and he was pissed.

Nice game and nicer win.

Ps Manny sat out 'injured' - leg. Not really, he just doesn't want to play for Boston any more.

Game 101 - v MIN - W 5-1

Minnesota really didn't play that well but the Yankees killed them.

Moose pitched 8 innings with no runs - it was fantastic to see - 105 pitches, 73 strikes and 7 strike outs. He is getting better and better. 13th win - would love him to get 20 he really deserves to bu he's got to get another 7 out of probably 12 starts - doable if he keeps on this current form.

A good win.

Game 100 - v MIN - W 8-2

Yet more offense although helped by the pitching of Minnesota.

Cano is still on a good roll, as always better after the ASG break.

It was quiet until they got to the starting pitcher, then the MIN bullpen got int a little difficulty and the Yankees took advantage.

Rasner had a fine outing - got in and more importantly out of trouble, should get him another start.

Game 99 - v MIN - W 12-4

Lovely offense - one of those days where everything went well.
Alex started it off with a homer, also Robbie also homered and the rest also contributed nicely.

Ponson had an ok outing, he wasn't happy with it, but it did the job.

Posada is on the D/L, but personally I think Molina is a better catcher definitely although not as good a batter. Without the surgery though Posada won't be of any use really even with the bat.

Game 98 - v OAK - W 2-1

A really impressive outing by Andy - his pitches were hitting the corners and completely fooling the batters.

Melky and Robbie are getting better.

Another close game - wonder how many of these there have been this season - seems like last year was all power, this year it's grind and loses by small margins.

No way would Posada made that last out - Molina is a fantastic defense catcher - just wish he could hit a bit better.

Game 97 - v OAK - W4-3

A 12 inning thriller that neither team could bear to lose.

That was a real one for the books - the win was given by Molina being hit by pitch with bases loaded.

Mo gave up a run to allow OAK to take the lead which was then equaled by Betemit RBI.

Molina was in for Posada and took it for the team.

Game 96 - v OAK - W 7-1

A really good game for the offense, they looked nicely solid - also the defense was sharp.

Sexson had a nice first game - not sure he'll get much playing time, but he's cheap.

Cano is looking good.

Alex is getting back to his usual pace - plus he had a great hit on the catcher - a very NFL move *g* He was still out but good to see him showing the effort so publically.


And what can I say, Moose ♥

Game 95 - @ TOR - L 1-4

Once again the offense went back to sleep - Abreu is not helping the cause and we're missing Damon's bat.

Posada isn't able to throw anyone out and the opponents know that and are taking advantage. Ridiculous. ====> Turns out he's just ended up on the DL.

Game 94 - @ TOR - W 9-4

Slightly better eh.

Derek hit his 200th home run. Alex hit his 537th.

Rasner got into trouble early giving up 4 runs but then he was runless after that - although he kept loading the bases and getting in and out of trouble - showed fortitude and strength and got the win.

Sad news Bobby Mercer died. It was a shock as we all thought he was hanging in there. Wish he could have lived long enough for the ASG and new stadium.

Game 93 - @ TOR - L 0-5

What offense! 2 hits no runs... against Toronto!

Halladay was good, but that's not an excuse.

Joba was good though - he's doing well thankfully.

All in all yeuch.

Game 92 - @ PIT - L 2-4

Make up game from 27th June.

Moose was great as usual but no offense and Veras giving up 2 meant a loss - typical.

ps. Moose had a hit.

Game 91 - v TB - W 2-1

Phew another extra innings game. Won by Abreu who got doused with the water barrel by Cano and Cabrera *g*. It was a walk off win - Abreu's first.

Also Molina is still catching - we miss Posada's bat, but no way do we miss his arm. Molina is a throw out machine. Plus he had really improved at working with the guys and is calling an excellent game.

Gardner is doing ok but I am little tired of some people treating him like the second coming, he's only been here a few games.

Game 90 - v TB - W 5-0

A really good outing by Andy, although the slumping Rays helped.

Melky is starting to show more improvement at the plate as is Cano - second half beckons - hopefully they really pull it round.
Also Derek showed some great defense - getting old... Pah!

Game 89 - v BOS - W 5-4

Yankee stadium - Sec.. Box 102 Row g Seat 5

Alex equaled Mantle on the HR list. It was a long extra innings - the come from behind runs, then Gardners walk off win - nice.

It was as good a win as it was full of drama

Game 88 - v BOS - W 2-1

Yankee stadium - Sec 24 Box 306 Row F Seat 4

Ooooh Moose, I love you so much it's silly. 6 innings, 4 hits and no runs - he is our star. Especially as the offense was MIA as usual.

Then Mo gave us a major scare by loading the bases, giving up a run but then got the out to win.

Loads of batters got hit by pitches but is was all so unintentional so no fights - even Mo hit two which Moose found funny as it equalled a high.

Bullpen was great as usual.

Game 87 - v BOS - L 4-6

Yankee Stadium Sec... Bx291 Row D Seat 5

Another loss - not as bad as yesterday, but as soon as it was 6-3 to BOS you could see that they couldn't find a way back. Before you could trust they would find some hits but you don't think they could.

Now Damon is out injured - no idea for how but he's going to be missed as are the rest of the top of the line up who are MIA.

Depressed much!?

Game 86 - v BOS - L 0-7

Yankee Stadium Sec .. Box 291 Row H Seat 12

Wow that was shiteous. Bad pitching, ridiculous hitting - swinging at anything.

Only 2 bright things, both Melky and Robbie got two hits each.

Bad.

Giradi had a closed meeting after - everyone looked very emotional afterward.

Oh dear I was right yesterday about hoping there'd be enough offense for today!

Game 85 - v TEX - W 18-7

Well a nice RBI by Cano - very small ball so far. The Ranger showing they are very good offensively so far (against us anyway!). Ponson gave up 3, then Giambi got a grand slam - nice. Robbie's had some good double plays - he's starting to heat up with the bat too - shame he couldn't share that with Melky.

Couple of errors by Rangers have helped somewhat.

The lead's been back and forth but Giambi is the Yankee savior today so far.
Now that's some hitting. However it's against a rookie who's in his first start, so not exactly an ace. Hope they haven't run out of offense for tomorrow.

Ponson, not a great start but we'll take it.

Game 84 - v TEX : 2-3

(Did not watch live)

Is it coincidence or what, since the Mets series the line up has been messed with and since then they're not hitting.

It's weird and seems like this year is worse than previous years.

We need to start winning and now
