Joba, Yanks: Domin-Eight
Posted by: MikeGwizdala on Jul 25, 2009 at 06:01:05 AM

As the Black Eyed Peas song goes, post All-Star break these New York Yankees are so 2008.  That's because with their eighth straight victory in an 8-3 win over the Oakland Athletics, they've matched their streak from last season's second half start.

Down 1-0 early as Orlando Cabrera scored on a sac fly after he'd doubled and stolen third off Joba Chamberlain, it didn't take long for the Yanks to settle down.

While Brett Anderson started off much like Vin Mazzaro with seven K's, New York jumped on him early too, getting two back in the third.

Derek Jeter got the Yanks on the board with a single to right.  Jeter was 3-5 on the night with two RBI.

Also with having a big night at the plate, former A's outfielder Johnny Damon had three RBI himself. Meanwhile Melky Cabrera picked

Sweep Six-cess: Yanks Broom Birds

The O's who have now lost their last ten in the Bronx got pounced on early.  Derek Jeter got it started with a lined double to left-center.  Mark Teixeira followed with a single to center, setting things up for A-Rod who has been "hot-rod" of late, to drive in Jeter for the game's first run.  Robinson Cano kept the ball rolling literally, with a slow roller to second that Brian Roberts couldn't handle and it was 2-0 Yanks.  Then it was Nick Swisher plating two with a double, staking the

High Fives For Yanks
Posted by: MikeGwizdala on Jul 22, 2009 at 04:40:07 AM

It was an almost eerie sight for New York Yankees fans.  In desperate need of a 5th starter they marched out a former Florida Marlin wearing number 45 who'd missed all of 2007 with Tommy John surgery.  No it wasn't Pavano, but Sergio who did just enough to keep the Yanks in the game and help them vault into sole possession of 1st place in the East with the best record in the American League.

 

In what looked to be a rocky start for Sergio Mitre, the right-hander survived and advanced through 5 2/3 innings for his first win of the season and as a Yankee.  The O's jumped on Mitre quickly in the 1st with Nick Markakis driving in Brian Roberts to give Baltimore the early advantage.

After the Yankees played manufacture a run with your host Alex Rodriguez scoring on a sac-fly
