That was just an old fashioned classic trip to the Bronx. Dominant starting pitching from an overweight old man, Damon getting on to start the game and scoring, quick 1-2-3 innings, generous home scoring for Jeter and anyone else in need of batting points, deep HR's, poor fielding, Robinson Cano reaching base seemingly everytime, starting pitcher having to weezle out of trouble every inning, and last but not least, Mariano Rivera breaking bats.
Only three more to go.

Anyone else think A-Rod pushed Morneau in the back as he ran through first base. The Throw was high, not up the line, there was no reason for Morneau to have gone down. If you see the replay again watch A-Rod's left hand. If it's AJ instead of A-Rod, there would be a bench clear tonight.
Conclusion: A-Rod is a weezle and the players know it, Yankee and otherwise.

I agree. He had to hobble around to make it look good.Irishmans Shanty wrote:Anyone else think A-Rod pushed Morneau in the back as he ran through first base.

Not bad Joe, you got 6/8 tonight in your 8-0 victory.
Nothing gets the Yankees on track better than some home dates with the Twins.
Only two more left......until the playoffs.

Through two innings today, Joe has numbers 3, 5, & 6 covered and number 7 is nearly a lock.Irishmans Shanty wrote:Joe Torre's Pregame Checklist

Robinson Cano can do whatever he wants against the Twins and here he comes with a man at 2nd. Just walk him, please.
