Yankees.com: CC’s gritty start backed by Cano and Co.
BALTIMORE—CC Sabathia earned yet another win while facing the Orioles and the Yankees took advantage of some sloppy defense to help post a 4-2 victory on Wednesday at Camden Yards.
Each of Sabathia’s past four victories this year have come against the O’s, and he has won his past seven starts against Baltimore—though this one did not come as easily as some of the rest.
...
The Yankees got to O’s starter Chris Tillman for three runs and seven hits in six innings, though only Curtis Granderson’s fourth-inning sacrifice fly was an earned run. Julio Lugo booted a Mark Teixeira grounder to open the sixth inning, and Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano followed with singles that tied the game at 2. Cano finished with three hits.
I think it was Ron Gardenhire who once described the Yankees’ lineup as Murderer’s Row, plus Cano. A more apt description now might be Robinson Cano and the Seven Eight Dwarves.

Elves in Boston, dwarves in New York. Makes sense.
Seven Dwarves (Swisher isn’t too bad).
I’m pretty sure it was Jim Leyland that said that in the 06 playoffs. before our pitching decided to make the tiger lineup look like 9 Babe Ruths.
Nick Swisher demands satisfaction.
Blackhawks!
Sorry thurm.
Nice. Booing the presentation of the Stanley Cup. Stay classy.
Aw come on. I booed the Marlins celebrating in OYS in 2003.

Do I at least get partial credit for being in the right division?
Nick Swisher demands satisfaction.
Good point. It’s Swisher/Cano and the Seven Dwarves.

Let’s see…There’s:
Lucky
Busty
Hippie
Speedy
Injury
Pokey
Sixthree
Gardner reportedly may get an MRI Friday. Of course I may get an MRI Friday for all I know.
Edit: make that “expects to have” per the NYT.
[10] made my night. Especially Sixthree.

LoHud:
• Brett Gardner said he believes he’ll get an MRI when the Yankees get back to New York on Friday, but that’s primarily to make sure there’s nothing going on that the x-ray didn’t pick up. When he stole second tonight, Gardner slid into the bag with his left hand and “didn’t feel it at all.”
[13] Adding to, and much improving on.
Yay win.
8 May 1918, Coshocton (Ohio) Tribune, pg. 8: “New York fans have come to know a section of the Yankees’ batting order as ‘murderers’ row.’ It is composed of the first six players in the batting order—Gilhooley, Peckinpaugh, Baker, Pratt, Pipp, and Bodie. This sextet has been hammering the offerings of all comers.”
[10] That was excellent. Nearly spat my butterscotch at my monitor.
