April 7

Yankees 4 Twins 3

AJ Burnett improves to 2-0 agaisnt the Twins in the rubber match while the Yankees continue to dominate the Twins. Burnett looked pretty great today. His curve ball from the beginning had a nice spin on it and was hitting locations and getting ahead on the count. His changeup looked impressive. If he can keep that pitch consistent throughout the season I think it will help him keeping the batters guessing more. It was good to see him get into a little trouble there in the second inning and not get frazzled. I know April is usually his strong month but the confidence is looking great and promising.

Andruw Jones looked good again with a nice double to knock in a couple. That catch in the sixth was pretty great. Good to have a gold glove outfielder like Jones in a back up role.

Jeter had a nice double and beat the throw in an infield single. 69 is his number till 3000

Hoping Gardner can get things going with that single to the right to get the RBI.

And a nice bounce back for Soriano coming in the 8th to retire the side. It is just interesting to me that Cashman and Levine had to call his agent Boras to get him to acknowledge he has to speak to the media in good and bad and it is his responsibility to the club. Really? Seriously? This is a professional athlete and he needs his tool agent to hold his hand and tell him what to do? Let’s see what materializes this season with Soriano.

Is there anyone who DIDNT hear Swisher yell “F*uck” out of the top odf his lungs when he popped up in the first? I think even if you had the Bob Euker seats up top you could have heard. LOL

Game ball goes to Burnett for a great outing.

Side Notes: Boston lost again today. Hughes will be on the bump tomorrow in Fenway. Its going to be a huge game for Boston as well as Hughes trying to get a better outing then his first start. See you in Boston
