Today’s game is moving a lot slower than the previous two. Both pitchers have struggled with control. Apparently today I am struggling with typing. Must be the after effects of last night’s pilgrimage to Bern’s Steakhouse. Lots and lots of Phillies fans here today. Joba is still missing some of the time but he is […]

Joba is clearly working out some kinks. He looks a little skinnier than last year. Yes! Got Ryan Howard looking with a man on second.

Monday Live from Steinbrenner Field

Well, the USA staved off elimination in the WBC so we still have no Jeter. The thing I miss most is watching him play long toss before every game. Looking forward to Joba today! Although he just walked the first batter on 4 pitches, then struck out the next on 3… (cue ominous music). 1:26 […]

Coke started to lose it in his third ining of work with two outs. He allowed three line drives on a row, then walked a guy. Dave Eiland made a visit and he got a dribbler out of the next guy. Posada out of the game.

This game is flying along. Like yesterday, which had no walks, this one is walk-free. We are halfway through and only one hour has passed. Phil Coke did his part with two perfect innings. As we said in the Maple Street Press Yankees Annual, Coke would be wasted as a situational lefty. The annual is […]

Swisher just lived up to his name and struck out on 3 pitches.

What is it with pitchers getting hit here? Yesterday one of the Astros got hit in the hand with a line drive. Today Glen Perkins of the Twins just got hot with Matsui’s broken bat and fell right off the mound. It was the third out so they took him right out.

The first outbreak of the Let’s Go Yankees chant came in the second inning after a nice two strike clap. Pettitte then ended the inning with a K.

Huge hand for Jorge. He has been DHing so it is not like he hasn’t played but still. Wow, Jorge beat out an infield hit! And because they were holding that speed demon on, Damon’s grounder became a hit instead of a double play. And then he tagged and took third on a foul pop! […]

Amusingly, Posada is leading off.
