Sorry about the five-day layoff, guys. I couldn’t even bear to post a recap of that horrific third game of the series in Anaheim, and decided to take a break(like the players) during the ASB. But don’t worry, I’m back! And like our Pinstriped Bombers, hoping for a good start to the beginning of the end of the 2009 regular season.
Since the 12th(my last post), the AL won the All-Star game, Prince Fielder won the HR Derby, Shelley Duncan and Austin Jackson started in the AAA ASG, and our Yanks dropped their third straight in Anaheim. Not a very productive layoff for Yankee fans.
In Tuesday’s All Star Game, Mark Texiera and Derek Jeter went a combined 0-5, but scored two runs(both by Jeter) in the process. Let’s hope that this doesn’t carry into tonight’s game. As for our favorite closer, Mo did brilliant(like usual), and pitched a perfect 1-2-3 ninth to close the door on the NL. I’m sure Papelbon wasn’t too thrilled about that.
Enough of the All-Star chatter, let’s talk REAL, YANKEE BASEBALL. Tonight, we’ll see the AL Central leading Detroit Tigers and a pitching matchup of A.J Burnett(8-4) and rookie, Lucas French(1-0). Hopefully we can take advantage of the newbie, and show him that pitching in New York is just as hard as it sounds.
The game starts at 7:05 est at the “NEW Yankee Stadium”(<<<<Michael Kay quote). Don’t be late.
Oh yeah, follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HipHipMatsui if you could. Thanks!
That’s all for now.
