Bad news for Brett Gardner who felt pain in his elbow this morning. Tweets from the Yankee beat writers suggest we might not see Gardner until after the All-Star Break.
It’s Phil “Two in a row?”Hughes vs. Dillon Gee.
Derek Jeter SS
Curtis Granderson CF
Alex Rodriguez DH
Robinson Cano 2B
Mark Teixeira 1B
Raul Ibanez LF
Nick Swisher RF
Eric Chavez 3B
Russell Martin C
Never mind the upstarts: Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Nats up 4-0 on Dick K in the 4th...
Nuts, I get the Indians - Cardinals game.
Yeah, Daisuke was very good in the first two, but got killed in the third inning.
No, I meant the fourth inning. He was good through three.
Outstanding match between Brazil and Argentina.
Messi is an artist and an assassin. Unreal performance. 82,000 at Met Life Stadium got their money's worth.
My boys were at a birthday party and missed it so we're watching it again.
3) Yeah, he looked okay. A Gone helped him out of that fourth too with a nifty catch and double play. By the way, for all the talk of A Rod and Tex not doing well, they have more dingers than Gonzalez. Is it just a prolonged slump?
Also, such a drag about Gardner. I suppose it's too early for Cashman to make a move but it would be interesting, with the team going good, if they tried to get someone.
Just about time for the Belmont. Shame about I'll Have Another.
Sox got the tying run at the plate against Clippard with two out in the bottom of the 9th at the Fens...
Salty's up.
Takes a called strike and then a ball low, 1-1...
Soft grounder to first.
Game.
Now...Let's Go Yank-ees!
Hughes cut his hair.
Is he serious with that purple bow tie?
I mean, it's a fine bow tie but it sure doesn't go with that suit.
Two batters, all fastballs--a walk, a K (and a fortunate called strike). Better not just throw heaters to D. Wright.
Jesus, that's one straight fastball.
Wright's gunna hit a homer to right before the weekend is over...just not yet.
Got away with one there. Wright just missed it.
What's up with the weird NY's on the Yankee caps?
Very nicely done, Alex!
That's all it takes.
hey -- someone woked up the Yankees!
Nice job, Alex.
Nice hit, Robbie, that's what I like to see.
Uh oh, bases loaded.
the score truck is warmed up and ready for action..
Garbage.
22) Stalled for now.
fuckin curse of the basso loadino.
Wow, nice change up to Duda.
Wow.
Jim Thome at 605 HR.
Murphy is a pain in the ass at bat, huh?
Didn't get a hit but that was not a bad ab by Murph.
McCarver said that lefties don't like hitting against Hughes. Ike with a base hit. And you got to figure a couple of lefties will take Hughes deep tonight too, right?
Nice pick by D. Wright.
Yeah, good thing lefties don't like hitting against Hughes. Right. T Mac. Shithead.
[30] You were saying?
Gee has settled in.
Damn, Curtis fucked that one up.
Murph did Hughes a favor there, swinging 3-0.
Ump is calling that outside pitch, for both sides.
0-1 pitch, Hughes got away with one to Davis...fouled it back. Wasn't up but was straight...
Got away with another one, a worse pitch, up, right over the plate, on the 1-2 pitch.
Don't lose him, Phil, dammit.
Phil walks him. Now flirting with disaster.
I smell three run homer.
Thank god.
Two shitty at bats tonight for Ibanez.
Swish missed a pitch to hit on the first pitch.
I like that Santana guy.
I wish our guys knew how to do that kind of thing.
Wow, that was a strike?
Cool, I'll take it.
Derek is really not seeing the ball well at all.
That first inning looms large now. Have a bad feeling about this game. A 4-2 loss kind of feeling. You know Hughes is going to give up another dinger.
Right. I mean. Wright.
At least they've only been solo homers. Enough of this Dillon Gee nonsense. Time for some fucking runs.
Alex, it's time.
Dammit, just missed it. Sounded pretty good. Nice base running by Curtis.
"Will it carry?"
It didn't even make the warning track.
He was jammed and I thought maybe I even heard the bat crack.
Robbie just swung at ball four but the ump has been calling the outside pitch, so...
Up to Mark...
I don't know what the point is of having 3-4-5 hitters if they can't drive in runs.
Yaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy!
Yay Tex!
Fucking A.
Hang em and bang em.
C'mon Swish, double down.
Hey, Swish, cut down on that swing now, Conan.
Up to the pen...
And for you hoop fans...end of the 1st. Celts up 27-23
Nice hit by Thole. And a good performance by Phil.
65) That won't last, though I'd love to see the Celts win. I think it'll be too much Lebron and too much Wade in the fourth quarter.
That was a nice first play of the game to see. Atta boy, Curtis!
Curtis makes it look unique to him. Great play.
[anybody] How did Hughes pitch?
70) Nicely. Good fastball. Okay curve and mixed in a change effectively. Just gave up the two homers and they were of the solo variety.
How nervous is everybody about this inning? Count me as plenty with Clay Rapada looming.
I know Rapada is here for a reason. I know his job is to get lefties. But I just never have a good feeling about the guy. Shit, I hope I'm wrong.
I don't care for Clay Rapada
[71] Cheers. Well that was a highly successful top of the 8th.
end of the half...celts 53-46
Wow. That went as well as could be expected. Nice job by Wade and Clay. Now, an insurance run...is that too much to ake?
75) Good game so far. Wonder if the Celts played a perfect half like the Spurs did in Game 6 against the Thunder?
Let's go CELTS!
Curtis is The Man!
nice. curtis is the man.
Is any other Yankee in double digits? if not, 90 HR us even more impressive.
The Grandy Man can.
80) I think Robbie has 11 and Teix has 10.
[78] hah!
Curtis has a club option for 2013. Do the Yanks give him a longer deal before that I wonder?
Gameday has those pitches in the zone.
Nice win.
Outstanding.
