TH- Andy. Did he pitch after the rain delay or what?
How about the pick-off!
HM- Robinson. GWH. I sure hope he gets to .300 soon.

Anyway Andy's definitely my favorite starting pitcher among those I've seen. Huge fan of the guy.
TH: Andy
HM: Everyone who batted in that fourth inning (Jeter through Posada). Those were amazing at-bats, each one of them, against a pitcher who to that point looked completely unhittable.

A lot of votes for Cano ... I realize his RBI was the difference, but to me the "heroics" on offense all happened in the fourth inning. Jeter worked a tough walk, A-Rod came through with two strikes, Giambi looked overmatched but found a way to muscle one up the middle, and Posada was set up 1-2 and fould off a couple of tough pitches before delivering the sac fly. It was a clinic on how to hang in against a dominant pitcher.

"We understand that John Henry must be embarrassed, frustrated and disappointed by his failure in this transaction. Unlike the Yankees, he chose not to go the extra distance for his fans in Boston."
Honorable Mention - Melky. If Melky doesn't get on his horse and catch Wright's shot in the second inning (?), it's a completely different game, IMO.
22 years old...Andy is where its at for me. The HGH thing annoyed me but I'll never lose that love I have for him.
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
Cool. Yeah, Andy's one of the special ones. Had he never left, I think there's a damn good chance we'd still be chanting 1918.
You're absolutely correct. If it wasn't for Melky's great catch, who knows what would have happened.

Pettitte, threw an awesome game. Cano with a big hit which turns out the be the game winner. Mo is just a machine, lights out, amazing.
TH: Andy Dandy
HM: The bullpen & Cano
Damn right!
Carlos Beltran wanted to play CF for the Yankees, not the mets. The Yankees said no. Mark Teixeira wanted to play 1B for the Yankees, not the sux. The Yankees said yes!
Great job Pettitte! And, Mo is unreal. NOBODY will ever be close to what he is (and hopefully continues to do for a couple more years).
Speak softly but carry a big stick.

"You know what's coming," former Kansas City Royals first baseman Mike Sweeney once said, "but you know what's coming in horror movies too. It still gets you."
-"Mariano Saves," 10/5 S.I.
Exactly. Jeter, Abreu, Rodriguez, Giambi, Posada. That was the game.
I third that! Melky deserves some credit for his great outfielding!
Other than that:
TH: Petitte
HM: Mo, and Cano
"We lose ourselves when we compromise the very ideals that we fight to defend." Barack Obama
Yeah. Wow. I can't believe I let that catch by Melky slip by. I've been so concerned with his lack of decent AB's lately that I forgot to remember how golden he is in CF.
TH: Andy
HM:Cano for a clutch RBI
I was at a graduation party this afternoon, so I only got to follow Gameday on my cell phone. But the above sounds about right.

Never left the Betances bandwagon.
Team Hero, once again: Andrew Eugene Pettitte!
No caps, but I'll award a second Team Hero collectively to everyone on the offensive side who worked a walk, advanced a runner, or got a run in with an out. (All three of the Yankee runs started out as Johan Santana walks; two of them scored on, respectively, a Giambi groundout and a Posada sac fly.)
And naturally also to Robbie Cano for a genuine RBI single!
Honorable Mention: Melky Cabrera ... for the catch!
Honorable Mention: José Veras ... Kyle Farnsworth ...
... and MO!
Nice pictures.
TH Pettitte
Petitte.
You gotta give the credit to Jorge for that pickoff of Jose. He's the one that nailed Jose on that by calling on Petitte to attempt the pickoff.
