Yankees.com: Yanks to Twins: CC you later!
It was a night of early exits in the Bronx: Denard Span and Ron Gardenhire were ejected and Francisco Liriano lasted 2 1/3 frames. CC Sabathia, meanwhile, settled in for his first win, with big hits from Chris Stewart and Andruw Jones.
My cable box thought I’d enjoy watching it initialize itself for a few hours so I didn’t get to see much of the game after the third. From what I saw, CC looked shaky, but it appears that he did much better as the game wore on. I’m still not sure he showed enough to think he’s about to go on a dominant run, but I’ll take the incremental improvement, even if it’s against one of the lesser offensive teams in the league.
Brett Gardner didn’t make the recap highlights, but he went 2 for 2 with 2 walks, all against LHP I believe, making his case that he should not be a platoon player. I agree with said case. You do have to rest him and Granderson some, and it’s probably smart to do that vs. LHP, but they should both still probably play a fair amount against them.

SG? Any chance you’d be able to head north to hang with the apostles for a July or August game at DNYS?
Always hoped that I’d be an apostle.
Knew that I would make it if I tried…
Sweep avoided !
Testify!!!
Pete, you are a rock. I am of course the doubting Thurmas.
SG’s mom will never let him leave the basement to travel to the big city.

I deny it! (thrice)
I am, however, an island.
[7] And a pretty fair boxer too.
April….come she will?
From Christianity to Simon and Garfunkel references. Never know what you’re going to get in a RLYW game recap thread.
Moyer in line for a win tonight. That’s pretty incredible.
[10] Who said RLYW can’t be entertainin’ without complainin’ ???
Moyer in line for a win tonight. That’s pretty incredible.
Considering the league and the opponent, I’d call it semi-incredible.
Jeffo, only to Teix, she can’t quit him. He can check out any time he likes, but I’m afraid he can never leave.

I’ve actually started a new job in Buffalo, so it’s certainly possible. Just make sure it’s not a Hughes start.
I think we can be pretty confident that Hughes isn’t going to be starting in August.
Is your new employer as oblivious as the old one?
SG, next time I’m in Buffalo, Ima gonna hunt you down.
By the way, I missed the game thread mostly, so I must belatedly credit sd for starting the Simpsons mini-riff. Or blame him.
9 April is the cruelest month.
Waitaminute. No errors for Nun-E?
I guess when Pin be for ye, who can be against ye?
Bop- are you in for a nerdfest? YZ? Fgas? Ym?

I don’t think so, which may limit my day-time posting.
[21] I will be back in CT for the Angels series immediately following the all-star break. I’m planning on making a game.
[5] Today I saw a slide at a meeting about people working on a project: Peter, Piero, and Pietro.
[18] See here.
I would definitely try to be, no promises though
If nerdfest 2.0 happens for one of the games from July 15th through July 18th, I think I can make it. I’ll be back in the States and up in Rhode Island visiting my brother then.
Yay win!
SG, since you missed it, Gardner’s hits were solid. He also made a really nice catch in LF.
CC looked pretty bad early, but definitely improved as the game went on. Of course: Twins.
Nun-E played a smooth short. I am amazed.
Cano hit a ball really hard to LF, but directly at the LFer. Signs of life, I hope.
How about more Andruw J and less Tex? Swish at 1b. I hate Tex.
Yankees wins are responsible for the elimination of complaining and the rekindling of the event known as “How many innings before OTF assaults a 14 year old?”
Luckily, I’m only 11, so I’m in the clear.
What say you, ted? Pin?
Speaking of cold hard facts: the Yankees have now won 100% of the games in which Teixeira did not play.
Was at the game yesterday. Andrew’s HR almost landed on my head.
Tickets were $19.

Cheaper than paying the Dolans for the privilege of watching on TV.
[31] Now we know who was running around in the outfield.
[29] When I shave, I look like I’m 14, should I start training in self-defense?
Definitely would like to be kept in mind for an RLYW outing to the stadium. I’m about 3 hours away, and already have a packed summer. But there’s some potential for getting a Saturday at the Stadium sometime.
