Boy, what a win! C.C put on a show last night, as we easily took down the Minnesota Twins by an eight run margin. Carsten-Charles was dealing while keeping the M&M boys hitless in six at-bats. Previously, the duo was 14-for-32 with five homeruns when facing the Bombers this year. It feels pretty sweet to have them have no effect on us whatsoever.
Don’t you know about Robby Cano? Well, I know that he’s snapped his 0-for streak without driving in a runner from scoring position. Whew! That’s a huge weight off of his back. Cano went 2-5 and worked the count magnificantly in each of his plate appearances. In all, he saw 29 pitches from Minnesota hurlers. That’s around 1/6 of all pitches thrown to Yankee batters throughout the entire game. Talk about waiting for your pitch!
Francisco Cervelli went 2-4 in his final game before gettin’ the boot…To Scranton Wilkes-Barre that is. Molina will be activated(if he hasn’t been already) soon, and Cervelli will take a long, painful ride from Minnesota to Pennsylvania. Don’t worry folks, it looks like we’ll definitely be seeing more of this kid. Just not until Posada or Molina gets injured, which shouldn’t take long, considering they both seem to get injured very often. With that in mind, what the hell every happened to Kevin Cash?
Getting a tad bit off subect. Well, in this blowout victory, each Yankee starter had at least one hit. It’s terrific when offensive contributions come from everyone in the lineup.
In tonight’s contest, we’ll see a matchup of A.J Burnett and Anthony Swarzak, a righty who’s posted a 2-2 record thus far. According to the LoHud Yankees blog(http://yankees.lhblogs.com/), Glen Perkins wasn’t feeling well and was scratched earlier today.
Before I bid you farewell, I’ve got to point out something that I’ve began to take note of – Mark Texiera’s long-ball struggles. He hasn’t hit a dinger since June 12th, and is in dier need of a “Summer Slam”. Let’s hope he breaks that 90 at-bat streak in Minny tonight.
That’s all for now. See you guys at 8:10.
