The Yankees sure do raise their game when Girardi gets tossed. Maybe it's coincidence, but he got tossed against Baltimore and they rallied to win the game.
^ I was surprised cano hit that ball as well as he did....looked like lopez was going to be mighty tough on a lefty there. Has he not been getting out the lefties like hes supposed to?
I can't remember a Yankee getting called up and being so close to having so many hits in his first week in the big leagues. Pretty soon Gardner's going to barely make contact with the ball and get base hits.
No, it was the other way around with him. Bubba Crosby came up and hit a couple of HRs and gave people false hope that he was a good baseball player. A poor man's Shane Spencer. Gardner's actually a good baseball player.
I hate Papelbon, but he's always first pitch strike. Always. I hate that about him. And a hit by Gardner would be so clutch.
