The Yanks traded for Jeff Francis today.
They are in Baltimore this weekend to wrap up the first half of the season before the All Star Break.
Specializing in injury law.
Looks as if poor Carlito Beltran will be placed on the 7-day concussive list.

Happy 4th you guys.
Today marks the 75th anniversary of Lou Gehrig’s retirement speech.
Over at the Daily Beast, check out this excerpt from Ray Robinson’s fine Gehrig biography, The Iron Horse.
Game this afternoon.
Let’s hope our boys make it 2-in-a-row.

Should be a mess o strike outs tonight as things don’t get any easier for the Yankee offense as they face David Price. At least our man Hiroki’s on the hill.

The thought of Chase Whitley against the Red Sox is not a calming one. I don’t care how much the Sox hitters have struggled this year. Ortiz sees him some Chase Whitley and he’s going to want seconds. But…Chase has also pitched well. Sure be nice to see him come up with six solid innings tonight.
And the Sox have Lackey, ugh, that guy again. The gunslinger. Always a pain in the ass.
How about s’more from McCann and Kelly Johnson? Maybe Carlito breaks out of his slump.

Only trouble is, Lester’s starting for the Sox. Maybe Sori or Port Jervis run into one…Maybe Beltran turns one around.

Just don’t get swept, fellas.
Never mind the horseshit:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
A good start from our man Hiroki, fine effort by the bullpen–especially David Robertson who had his breaking ball working–a nice hit-and-run from Francisco Cervelli and Kelly Johnson, a homer by Mark Teixeira, and a big night from Jacoby Ellsbury (3 hits, 4 RBI), gave the Yanks a 5-3 win over the Jays in Toronto.
Today, we can relax.

Yanks were on a nice little run, now they’re on a crappy little jag. That’s how it’s been for them and practically everybody else in the majors this year.
Tonight gives our man Hiroki and the hope the Yanks avoid getting swept.

Yanks get another crack at the Jays tonight in Toronto. Nice match-up of soft-throwing control pitchers. If Phelps is off even a little bit they’ll cream him. Buehrle will get tagged if he’s off but he’s been good this year. And the Yankee hitters have not, as a whole, been productive, especially lately.

It’s about as lovely as you can ever expect the weather to be in the summer–sunny but cool, low humidity. Perfect day to be at the Stadium.
This weekend gives Yankee Schmaltz with a Schmear, plaques, Old Timer’s and standing ovations.
Enjoy the festivities and:
