Yankees Gut One Out - 04/03/2008 Another bone chilling night in the Bronx, as the Bronx Bombers take on the Jays in the rubber match of the three game series. Taking the hill for the good guys was Phil Franchise who was opposing the Northern Hillbilly, Dustin McGowan and his Wolverinesque mutton chops. The only lineup changes for the Yanks from last evening’s were: Matsui to left, Molina to catch and Damon as the designated hitter. Jorge probably could have played but the Yanks are being extra cautious with the cold weather. It's only game number three, but I am already sick of John Sterling’s "You never know what's going to happen in baseball, you can never predict how the game will go" speech that he makes two or twenty times a game. |

Hip Talkin’: There’s a dream he dreams, whcre the high school is dead and stark It’s a museum and we're all locked up in it after dark Where the walls are lined all yellow, grey and sinister Hung with pictures of our parent’s Prime Ministers Wheat kings and pretty things Wait and see what tomorrow brings. |

Every bloody game we have to listen to this shit, luckily I only have to endure two maybe three innings of the dynamic radio duo on my way home, so I only have to hear it once. By the way, I'm in a pissy mood, which usually translates to me working more “blue” than usual. Blue Jays suck ass!!! McGowan’s an ugly hillbilly bastard! Hughes was perfect through three until the house elf, David Eckstein blooped a double in front of Matsui in left. Yankee-killer extraordinaire, Alex Rios drove in the first run of the game, but that was all the Jays would get except for the ejection of the Big Hurt, Frank Thomas, who got punted for arguing a third strike call. The Yankees wasted a leadoff single by Abreu, who alertly took third with two outs on a fielder's choice by Giambi as the Jays had no one covering third for the exaggerated shift against the Big G. In the fifth, Hughes walked the Human Nose, Marco Scutaro, with two outs and possum-faced Greg Zaun moved him over to third with a double down the right field line. A-Rod knocked down a grounder by the house elf who beat out the throw to first allowing another run to score. Hughes got out of big trouble by getting Matt Stairs to ground out to Robbie Cano to end the inning. Godzilla singles to get the lead-off hitter aboard for the third consecutive inning, but that was quickly erased by Molina's double play ball. Hughes pitched a 1-2-3 sixth, and Johnny Damon gave the Bomber faithful hope with a lead-off double and then the Captain took a breaking ball in the square of the back to get the rally started. Bobby Abreu worked a walk with a great at bat to load the bases for last years American League MVP - Alex Rodriguez. Damon scored on a wild pitch which also advanced both runners into scoring position but A-Rod fanned on a breaking ball from the Hillbilly. Giambi drove in the tying run on a sacrifice fly but Abreu was called out trying to advance to third on the play. Phil Hughes was done after six and it was a very impressive outing by the 21 year old right-hander, 2 earned runs on 4 hits is not too shabby at all. Replacing Hughes was the lefty Billy Traber who struck out Lyle Overbay on a sweet curveball. One hitter, one out, not a bad night's work for Traber who was replaced by <shudder> Brian <gulp> Bruney <sigh> - who looks like he has lost about 15 pounds from last year, let's see if his ability to limit his trips to the buffet table has translated into the ability to throw strikes. Bruney got Hill to ground out to second (should have been a strikeout, except for a terrible call by the ump) and the Human Nose flew out to Abreu for the final out of the inning - maybe the weight loss did ol' Brian some good? Brian Wolfe set down the Yankees in order in the seventh leaving the score knotted at two leading up to "Joba Time". Joba stuck out possum-boy for the first out, got the house elf to hit a dribbler to second but gave up a two out single to Stairs to bring up Alex Rios who flew out to Abreu. Melky led off the eighth with a single to right, and that was it for Mr. Wolfe who left to take care of some blood and brains that Vincent and Jules left in the backseat of their car. Damon laid down a beauty of a bunt that was fumbled by Downs allowing Johnny to reach on the error. DJ laid down a sacrifice bunt and almost beat out the throw (looked safe on the replay, but it was DAMN close) to put the runners on second and third for Bobby Abreu. Abreu blooped an RBI single to center, with Damon staying at second as it wasn't clear if Wells was going to make the play or not. A-Rod struck out looking, bringing up the hitless for the season Jason Giambi. Giambi got plunked on the elbow to load the bases for Robbie Cano who harmlessly flew out to center. "Enter Sandman" for the ninth and after a lead-off single by Wells, the over-rated fielder made it to third with two outs before Mo struck out Aaron Hill to end the game. The Yankees Win, THHHHHEEE YANKEES WIN!!!!!!!!! Man, the Blue Jays have a helluva pitching staff and they are going to be tough all year. Luckily for the Yankees and their fans, the Jays are managed by one of the dumbest humans on the planet. Great start to the season for the Bombers, it's always a great feeling to win that first series!!! Congratulations to the Yankees on two hard fought victories this series!!
