CC got clubbed. No clutch hitting. Now,its Hughes at 4pm in the heat. Or we wait for the hangman in NY. Either way CC put us in a big hole. It seems the Yanks are still in a lay off. Too bad they decided to contiinue sleeping through this game. I shut the freakin TV off after CC gave up the fifth run. Some dopey subway commercial is on. I can not stand to listen to that Ernie Jones guy. The guy knows very little about how to call abaseball game.I am sure they are playing him a lot so they want to get their money's worth out of him. He sounds or acts like a fish out of water. Wow the Yanks got on the scoreboard- Cano drilled a SOLO HR. Look at these box scores Jeter through Posada oh for 15!
Do these guys have any guts. Its Gardner, Jeter and Swisher - 0h for seven so far - Wilson still pitchiing.- He just threw his 101st pitch. Gardner legs out a hit. Jeter looks clueless. Maybe he is done? Maybe not, he just doubled in Gardner. Its Wilson who is done. I tell ya Texas and its crowd thinks this game is over. Heck there are none out in the eighth with a runner on 2nd in a 5-2 ball game. Unless, their Darren Oliver comes in lights out we could have a game.
One and one to Swish. What have these guys got? Three & one to. Great pitch. Three & two- Missed ball four- 1st & 2nd. Tex strike one - The tension growing. Way inside.- Three and one. Missed it foul it off - 3-2 again.Ball four again. Arod bases loaded no one out. washington will make a change - Its # 56 - Darren O'Day. To face Arod - Only one previous encounter Arod is 0-1- First pitch he drives in two- A screamer over third maskes it 5-4. O'day's day is done. Now, cano versus a lefty with runners on 1st &2nd - No outs - Ahit here and the Yanks can grab the lead.
Oh boy! Clay Rapada just called up.1st pitch tie game! 1st and third. Look who is coming to the mound. Its Washington- Two pitchers two pitches 3 runs - still no one out. Is going to bring in a righty- Derek Holland. A lefty

Deep to right - Cano goes to third on the out.

Gardner who started the inning.- one and one Holland is dealing. Two and one - Big pitch-- Grounds out -
Yanks score five - Garner Jeter Swisher Texieira Arod Cano thames all reach bases safely before on out is registered. Thats seven batters in a row.
Now the game is in the hands of the 8th and 9th guys.
Wood is on the mound to face Kinsler.
Ball two. Three and oh. Ball four. Tying run on base. Wood stunk in game three. Ball one. Finally strike one - one & one. he is going ! Two and one. Un believable! Yes they picked him off! 1 out.

We go the top of Ninth- Jeter Swisher and Texierira. We need more runs! In the ninth Texas will send up, Cantu andrus and young.
Pitching for the Rangers is Derek Holland again. One and one. Molina behind the plate 2-1 to Jeter. He rips it over Hamilton's head for a leadoff double. Swisher Bunt? Foul ball. Get jeter 1-1 to swisher. Pops out on bunt attempt- horrible. Tex runner on second one out. Strike one - Big ab for tex 1-1 count. Molina and olland talk it over - 1-2 tex looks weak! 2-2 almost had him. Three and two.Popped it up to right. Two outs for Arod. Big insurance run out there. A lefty versus Arod - come on ! 1st pitch popped up!
On to the ninth- The yanks will count on Mariano Rivera to get the 1st game of the best of seven. He has had trouble here recently in this spot. In this stadium. He did great against the Twins. by saving two games. He has had plenty of rest. He will face Cantu andrus and Young. Golston's in right.
Pinch hiitter Mitch moreland. Base-hit. Runner on 1st. no one out. Andrus ball one and he does not look sharp. One and one. Showed bunt- Strike two foul bunt off. 1-2 He bunted with 2 strikes. Runner on second.
