[TheMelkMan]

Wang Ks hafner for a 1-2-3

[yankeesAZ]

Impressive inning by Wang!

[26More]

His sinker has great movement today.

[JOBA RULES]

[TheMelkMan]

Leadoff single for my namesake.

[Tifoso]

[yankees2287]

bouncinig ball gets through the middle for a basehit, followed by a jason lane fly ball out

[yankees2287]

[yankees2287]

[yankees2287]

stolen base by melk...I'm happy melky is still with us

yea hes worth to much to just give away

[Tifoso]

Hi gang!

Hi Lou! How are you today?

[TheMelkMan]

Steal of 2nd by melky. Long fly by ensberg to the track. Just curious, would all of you prefer Lane, Woodward, Green, or Ensberg for the final bench spot (assuming Betemit and Duncan get spots)?

[yankees2287]

arod strikes out

[Tifoso]

Hi Lou! How are you today?

Blessed. It's spring. Yankees and Juve playing today. It's all good.

[Prison Mike]

Good pitching on both sides to start.

[yankees2287]

Hi Lou! How are you today?

whats going on?

[TheMelkMan]

Inning over on an A-rod K, to the top of the second we go. Hey Lou, how are you?

[26More]

We need to lose this Arod character. I don't think he'll make the team striking out on bad pitches.

[CallOfTheCrow]

Oh no, Lou's lost his mind.

[Prison Mike]

Wang's slider has good bite today.

[Brooklyn Yankee Fan]

Back to back singles to open up the Top of the 2nd.

[TheMelkMan]

2 straight singles off wang.

[Prison Mike]

Cano makes that double play in the regular season. Ball took a dead hop.

[Tifoso]

Oh no, Lou's lost his mind.

My wife would say that it's a small loss.

Hi, everyone!

[TheMelkMan]

bases loaded, no outs

[JOBA RULES]

come on wang

[NelsonMuntz]

Michael Kay is actually making sense.

[Hobie]

Yeah...seriously.

[Tifoso]

Guys:

we really appreciate your posts, OK?

May I make a request though (for us w/o TV Radio)--can you be a tad more descriptive?

Thanks a lot!

[TheMelkMan]

Runner at first, 2 out, 2-0 Cleveland.

[Prison Mike]

Cleveland leads 2-0- hard sac fly to Lane in LF.

[hobokenfish]

Sac fly to left, 2-0 Indians.

Single, single, walk, ground ball out at second, sac fly. Does that help?

[Brooklyn Yankee Fan]

Pretty play by Betemit, but came up a little short on the throw.

[hobokenfish]

Chopper to third, infield single. First and second, two down.

[Prison Mike]

Betemit nearly pulled a Jeter in the hole at SS, a leaping throw in the hole that just missed getting the runner.

Perfect throw, just a little late.

[TheMelkMan]

Shoppach chops wide of short, betemit jump throw beat out for an infield single, runners at first and second, 2 outs.

[Prison Mike]

Ugh- Wang throws one away into CF. Runner didn't advance, but this is one ugly inning for the Wangster.

[Tifoso]

Than you guys!

[Brooklyn Yankee Fan]

3-0 Indians now

I'm going to eat lunch, I'll be back.

[CallOfTheCrow]

He's not getting hit that hard though.

[TheMelkMan]

Single for Sizemore, another run scores, 3-0, wang looking shaky.

[26More]

Shelley has a friggin canon of an arm!

[hobokenfish]

Sizemore with a base hit to left field. 3-0. Men on second and third.

Wang picking up where he left off against Cleveland. Teams who are patient tend to do well against Wang.

[TheMelkMan]

Sizemore steals second, runners on second and third, 2 outs, david delucci up.

[Prison Mike]

He's not getting hit that hard though.

True- but most of the time Wang gets hit, he doesn't get hit hard. It's usually seeing-eye singles like this.

[a yankeesfan]

He's not pitching terribly.
