Well honestly who expected to see a win from the yankees with mussina on the mound lmao.

But I am excited to see Phil Hughes pitch tonight, He is key to our season and he needs to get us 14+ wins IMO for us to have a shot at the postseason.

Yankees:

Quote:

Phil Hughes handcuffed the Jays early, retiring the first nine batters. The Yanks erased a two-run deficit in the sixth, with Johnny Damon scoring on a wild pitch and Jason Giambi plating Derek Jeter with a sac fly. Bobby Abreu knocked in the winning run in the eighth.

Blue Jays:

Quote:

In the third inning, leadoff hitter David Eckstein scored on Alex Rios' single, a hit that extended Rios' hitting streak against the Yankees to 23 games. Eckstein added an RBI of his own to support right-hander Dustin McGowan in the series finale.
