Yankees.com: Kuroda’s gem delivers Yanks sweep of A’s
Victories haven’t appeared with the frequency that Hiroki Kuroda and the Yankees expected this season, but if the right-hander keeps pitching like he did on Sunday, that shouldn’t be an issue.
Kuroda blanked the Athletics to pick up his first road victory of the season as the Yankees posted a 2-0 win, completing a series sweep at O.co Coliseum.
“I hadn’t had a win in a long time,” said Kuroda, who picked up a victory for the first time in three starts. “I was relieved that I was finally able to get that.”
Andruw Jones homered and Mark Teixeira doubled home a run to provide the offense, and Rafael Soriano pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his fifth save as the Yankees squeezed out a tight victory to extend their season-high winning streak to five games.
Kuroda was excellent today. It was the Oakland Athletics, though, but still, good to see. Has Kuroda had a no decision yet this season?
Big series coming up against the Angels.

Run awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!
Too bad this doesn’t mean much. The A’s season line is .220/.285/.335. CK did a little better. At least he didn’t give up a HR.

Ha! Didn’t you see my reply to your initial comment? I’m in NYC. If you’d like to come to NYC for dinner, I’d oblige you. 
“Feed me Cronin,” Little Shop of Horrors?

That’s what I thought, thus [3]

[3], of course, was the logical response, courtesy of Holy Grail.
Tonight’s match up of two of the one best young pitchers in the game should be a beaut.
And just when Pujols and Tex seem to be emerging from their slumps these two superstars must be sick having to face Hughes and Weaver.
[10, 11] Don’t stop now.
Hey, I just saw the piece on IO9. Nice work, Brian.
At work, as all Monday holidays which are my rare busy days, and no Suze or Serling to keep me company.
Well done, Brian, but Cracked already had me convinced that Superman is a dick.
