Scott Richmond goes for the Jays while Joba is on the mound for the Bombers who look to start a new winning streak after last night’s disappointment. Meanwhile, intrepid rodent reporter attackgerbil is in Seattle to scout the Mariners, who face the White Sox. Nah, that’s not true; he just can’t afford to stay for the Yanks-M’s series starting Thursday. Tonight at SafeCo it is John Danks (9-8, 4.23) vs. Doug Fister, who is throwing is first major-league start. Should be thrilling. Time to hit happy hour.

Joba looks good early.
Yankees lighting up Scott Richmond like a pinball machine early on.
Well, they only have one run so far.
Man, why the hell did Tex get sent home?
That was a perfect couple of throws, but the catcher had the ball when Tex was halfway down the line.
Joba looks even better in the second.
Great inning for Joba, 11 pitches.
Damn, Robbie was halfway to 2nd on his home run trot on that one.
Man, Cano is en fuego. He is a very dangerous hitter when he’s on.
ha ha, BALK.
feliz cumpleaños Melky!
Melky: “here you go Robinson Cano it is a sacrifice fly for you”
Robbie: “thank you Melky Cabrera you are my best friend”
OMG AROD SO UNCLUTCH!!1
I’m pretty much talking to myself in this game thread.
And Joba suddenly loses the strike zone in the 3rd.
Well, that sucked. Joba usually wriggles out of these situations.
I guess it’s basically 0-0 again. I have a feeling the Yankees will get to Richmond again, though.
Joba needs to cut the Steve Trachsel impression out and pick up the pace.
GODZIRRA hits it to the moon! Tie game!
I love this team.
Back to back in back to back days! HIP HIP~
Posada eeeeks it over the wall in right. Are they really going to do instant replay on this one? They say a fan interfered, but he actually didn’t.
Inglett jumped too soon; not enough ups. This review has to be a formality.
Way to go, fat guy in the Mantle t-shirt!
Winske.
Melky with a Jeterian slap hit to left on an inside-out swing. Yankees up 6-4.
Damon singles to right, Melky flies down the line from second and scores. 7-4! Johnny gets caught in a rundown, Keystone Kops routine ensues, ends after he slips.
Beautiful inning.
First to 70!
Great win. Great game. This team makes me smile.
Nice to see Mo getting the better of his old nemesis… MARCO SCUTARO.
I <3 this team so much.
I took a lot of crap for my statements early on about how much I really liked this team and how confident I was in it’s make up. Sure the #5 spot is a concern and Bruney is not right, but other than that there is a lot to like!
Bruney has lost the lights-out form he had at the beginning of the season, but he’s still useful. I also wish Hughes were in the rotation, but it’s a moot point.
Ibelieve that is the 3rd straight night in which they have solo-homered back-to-back in order to go from one-run down to one-run up. And I’m not sure but I think 6 different guys have been in on those 6 HRs (need to double-check the latter). If it’s not an (admittedly weird) record, it must be close. Regardless, it is cool.
just back from the game…let me echo above statements. I love this team. Hope they can keep rolling.
So my facts are off but only slightly. This was the 3rd straight night in which the Yanks tied or took the lead via back-to-back solo HRs and these 6 HRs were hit by 6 different players: Damon + Teixeira vs. Boston in the 8th on Sunday to go from down one to up one; Cano + Hairston in the 4th last night to go from two down to tied against Toronto; Matsui + Posada in the 8th tonight to go from one down to one up vs. Toronto.
In addition to being very cool it is also a minor reflection of how incredibly balanced this line-up is.
“In addition to being very cool it is also a minor reflection of how incredibly balanced this line-up is.”
no, it’s a reflection of the tiny dimensions of the new ys, and the little known theory that the yankees turn on a giant fan blowing out toward right field when they are up to bat…
Yes, or that…
someone had to set the record straight IH, before you went off all half-cocked about the yankee lineup actually earning the somewhat inconsistent, yet potent at times, offensive success they’ve enjoyed this season ;)
Thanks for keeping me in line dc – I needed that :o)
