No one is going to F#$K with this guy...


Fan interferance? maybe... but honestly, nick markakis took one look into the stands and thought to himself... helllll no, that man will eat mee.

(found the pic on she-fan's blog, had to post it)

Postgame observations

The yankees wouldn't say it, but they really needed this win, A.J. Burnett needed to step up, and he did. Here are some notes from the game...

-A.J. Burnett wasn't lights out, but he was solid and gave the Yankees just what they needed, 5.1 innings, 2 runs, 6 Ks... looks good to me.

-That double in the 9th last night may have sparked something in Mark Teixeira, he had 2 hits today including a homerun.

-Robbie Cano 2.0(2-point-oh) went 3-4 with a 2 run homerun AND a walk... how about that?

-Nick Swisher should start in right field until he proves he doesn't deserve the spot, seriously... the guy had an outstanding day, 3-5... a clutch 2 run homerun and ended the day with 5 RBIs.

-The Yankees bullpen was lights out today, 3.2 IP 0 hits 0 walks, 6 strikeouts.

-Overall, great day for the Yankees... now we get to look forward to Sidney Ponson tomorrow for the Royals...that should be funn.

Game 3: Yankees vs. Orioles 4/9

Lineup:

Jeter SS
Damon LF
Teixeira 1B
Nady DH
Cano 2B
Swisher RF
Ransom 3B
Gardner CF
Molina C

Pitching: A.J. Burnett RHP vs. Alfredo Simon (See-moan) RHP

Notes:

The Yankees lost their second consecutive game to start the season, but their hitting wasn't really to blame, though Teix was miserable. 5 runs should be enough for the Yankees to win every single game this year, that is how good their rotation is. Every Yankee fan who watched the last two games will agree, the offense was not impressive...and if they pulled 5 runs out of their asses like they did the first two games, imagine what it will be when everyone's clicking.

The Yankees will be fine, it's only 2 games, Wang will bounce back, CC will bounce back, Teixeira will be a beast. A.J. Burnett does however need to stop the bleeding before ESPN and sportscenter jump all over it saying the 2009 New York Yankees are a big bust, those Red Sox nation bastards...

...back later with updates from the game...

Update 11:29: Peter Abraham over on his blog did a little research on Eiji Sawamura, if you don't know who that is... i reccomend reading this.

Update 1:38: the first pitch to Jeter is a ball...

Update 1:48: Johnny Damon just made an amazing play reaching into the stands battling fans for the ball.

Update 1:50: first strike out by a Yankee starter this year.... and it's the 3rd game of the season.... sad.... A.J. Burnett... our savior!!

Update 2:06: Sidney Ponson is pitching for the Royals tomorrow... atleast i know there is no way we go 0-4...

Update 2:28: Brian Roberts.... singled to center scoring pie. 1-0 orioles.

Update 2:37: A.J. Burnett just struck out Aubrey huff with the bases loaded... love to see that kind of emotion from a starter.

Update 2:39: Mark Teixeira just crushed a ball over the left center field fence for a homerun... 1-1 now.. YEEEEAA BABYYY!!

Update 2:42: "Cano becomes the walking man" ... yes.

Update 2:47: Nick Swisher just flyed one out to right for a homerun. 3-1 Yankees.

Update 3:00: Luke Scott just homered to center. 3-2 Yankees.

Update 3:31: Swisher just smashed one past Ty Wiggington, 4-2 Yankees are in bussiness.

Update 3:36: Huuuuge error by Bass there, 2 runs score and the Yankees are still threatening. 6-2 Yankees.

Update 3:46: Derek Jeter hit into a double play with runners on the corners and 1 out. 7-2 Yankees. going to the bottom of the 6th now.

Update 4:14: i wasn't around to watch it, but apparently Robinson Cano hit a 2 run homerun, it's now 9-2 Yankees bottom seven.

Update 4:40:
Ok, Nick Swisher should start for the yankees... somehow... 5 RBIs today. 11-2 Yankees.

Postgame observations

The Yankees lost their second straight game to start the season, here are some notes from the game:

-Mark Teixeira had 3 straight popups to start todays game.

-Mark Teixeira got boo'd

-Mark Teixeira got his first hit in the 9th inning.

-Mark Teixeira, Mark Teixeira, Mark Teixeira....

-Chien Ming Wang sucked, 7 runs in 3.2 innings pitched, actually worse than CC was on monday, which i didn't think was possible.

-The Yankees bullpen was actually very good tonight, i'm not sure of the exact numbers, but 4.1 scoreless innings sounds pretty damn good to me.

-Robinson Cano 2.0 (2-point-oh) had another solid game with a single and a RBI double.

-The Yankees scored 3 runs in the 9th, one good thing to look forward to for tomorrow.

-The 1998 Yankees lost their first 2 games of the season, then went on to wreck winning 114 games and the world series.

Game 2: Yankees vs. Orioles 4/8

Lineup:

Jeter SS
Damon LF
Teixeira 1B
Matsui DH
Posada C
Cano 2B
Nady RF
Ransom 3B
Gardner CF

Pitching: Chien Ming Wang RHP vs. Koji Uehara RHP

Notes:

Just thought everyone should know that even though the Yankees lost their first game on monday, and both CC and Teix looked miserable, that it's not the end of the world. You're welcome if you were contemplating suicide...

Update 7:25:
Aubrey Huff looped one to right for another double, Markakis scores. 2-0 Orioles...

Update 7:38: Michael Kay appeared to have mistaken Melvin Mora for Alex Rodriguez, because that pop up was not a difficult play.

Update 8:04: i wonder if Jorge pissing on his hands gives him a better grip on the ball...

Update 8:19: Michael Kay teased me, i thought that was a homerun, isntead it was a double off the wall that scored Nady. 2-1 Orioles.

Update 8:30:

Update 8:42: Where's Sidney Ponson and Darrel Rasner when you need them?

Update 8:48: how'd you like that ball to the face brian roberts? i know i liked it.

Update 8:49: Mark Teixeira is the new Melky Cabrera.

Update 9:08: Robinson Cano crushed a double to right center scoring Jorge Posada.

Update 9:16: Michael Kay just got faked out by the hot dog vendor... "let's see, what will he have on the hotdog, i say rellish... nope,ketchup... OHHH NOO MUSTARD!"

Update 9:41: As far as i'm concerned... this game is over... Orioles win it.

Update 9:46: Hey, Jason Kubel! let's see your best twoface impression!
