      Well, the Yankees won a nail-bitter yesterday, but what I'm really happy about is that Ivan Nova, the rookie who had only one Major League start before the game.  He went 5 and 2/3 (Girardi took him out to early again) while striking out 7 and only giving up 5 hits.  He seems to fear nothing, saying that pitching in the Major Leagues is the same baseball that he played in Scranton, and he dominated there.  Ivan seems like a great option for the Yankees in the postseason, and you have to believe Joe Girardi would have him in the playoff rotation.

      The Bombers must've taken some time off yesterday, only scoring 2 runs, with Marcus Thames (he's been great this series, hitting 4 home runs)

      Like the Yankees, Joe Girardi's mind was some where else.  Who knows, maybe he was thinking about the Cubs job (SIKE, he's definitely going to stay.)

      Last night's game was terrible.  A.J. was horrendous, giving up 8 earned runs and not even making it past the 4th inning.  The 4th!  Unacceptable by a guy who's supposed to be our No.2 starter.  The Yankees defense was sloppy, though they only commited one error.  The bats never really came alive, with half of the runs scored coming in the 9th off of Nick Swisher's homer.
      There was one bright spot of last night's game though, Sergio Mitre went 4 and 2/3 while giving up only 1 hit.  He was masterful yesterday, and if

      Look at the picture, have you ever seen that man holding the ball?
Eduardo Nunez.jpg       Chances are no; but I'll tell you who he is.  He is Eduardo Nunez, a rookie who only came up in that game when the Yankees blew out the Detroit Tigers.  He came in and played shortstop for Derek Jeter in the 7th inning since manager Joe Girardi decided to give the 36 year old a break.
      Nunez had an RBI single in the seventh inning of yesterday's affair between the Yankees and Mariners, making the score 5-4; which was also his first ever Major League hit.  This was only one of the 10 hits the Yankees had yesterday, with only 2 of them being extra-base hits.
      The start of the game seemed

      Of all the times for A.J. Burnett to throw a complete game and only giving up one stinking run, of all the times the Yankees get two hits, of all the times the Yankees get shut out by a pitcher they've never seen before (again), it happens today.  It wasn't A.J.'s fault though;  Burnett looked like the pitcher the Yankees signed for that big contract and paid $82.5 million to him.  He had 6 strikeouts with three walks as well as 3 double plays behind him.  Everything was effective for A.J., he had both his fastball, and more importantly, his curve ball working.  He made the Royals batters look silly.

      The Yankees bats must have been out relaxing at the pool or something else, because all they
