Yanks Sox Review Quick Notes

~What to take from the Yanks Sox series. Well if your a Sox fan its along the lines of annoying but whatever we still have a double digit lead, and we'll just swing out on the west coast and bounce right back. If your a Yankee fan you can have a glimmer of hope. Last night was a win that they haven't gotten all season for the most part. Claw back into a game in the late innings against a teams bullpen. Robbie's bullet off the wall was huge, and Arod's homer was obviously bigger. Could this catapault them into a good stretch? Yes. Could they go out and get swept by the White Sox like they did after their last series win over the Sox perhaps.

~Here's the good thing for the Yanks, the White Sox are currently scuffling mightily, so they are catching them at the right time. And further more the impeding schedule is a lot easier then the month of may. Their June schedule is 4 @CWS, 3 PIT, 3 ARI, 3 NYM, 3 @COL, 3 @SF, 3 @BAL, and 3 OAK. Now's the time to start winning games.

~More good news for the Yanks, some of their hitters are starting to hit up, namely Cano who is starting to hit the ball very hard on almost every at bat. Also, Abreu woke up yesterday and perhaps he can get back to his old ways of actually getting on base and being useful.

~I think the Giambi injury might actually help the team. It gets his fat ass off the base paths and it gets Melky into the lineup and more importantly into the outfield daily. Really, he's the only one who plays the outfield that is solid. He's got a + arm, he's got good speed all around he helps them being in the outfield. And so what if he's not a super hitter right now, I think he's a guy that will help them being in the lineup.

~Damon playing 1st base could be very humurous. Don't know when this could happen, but he is taking ground balls there. I think the highlight will be when Damon takes a relay to the plate, wow that will be funny.

~Dougie Minkowitz's head had to be ringing for a long time. It's not exactly a big loss for the Yanks, but it does hurt their late inning defense, and it definately sucks for him. The photos on Yahoo are a pretty good flip through.

~Some bad things for the Yanks, Abreu is just god awful in right field. Even that catch he made on the run was pathetic last night. It shouldn't have been near that difficult. The Ortiz hit that got by him was incredibly weak, and the worst of it all was the I'm a little girl scared of a 3 feet high wall on saturday which started of the Yanks miserable inning.

~More bad, Joe Torre is making some dumb ass decisions. You have a runner on second you are up 1 with no outs, and you intentionally walk the batter because why? So you can put the lead run on base with no outs? That's super decision making. Then you intentionally walk V-Tek later in the inning to "set-up" the double play. Great, especially when both scored.

~Groin Fatigue? Friggin Groin Fatigue? What the hell is that? You been gettin too much action lately old man, poppin too much Viagra? Just amazing how much money he will make this season for a guy that won't be the ace of a teams staff. It's sad that the Yankees really needed to make this move.

~Andy Pettite better not be seriously hurt that would blow.

~When did Dustin Pedroia start hitting .333? How under the radar has that been, and how annoying is he? I think he's already climbed into the pole position for most hated Red Sox player. I don't like him. Him or the Ogre is the worst.

~I wonder how the Red Sox will play tonight after their late night finish, and the flight out to Oakland and facing Dan Haren, who's been the best pitcher in the American League this season. It'll be an interesting test for them.
