Angels 9, Yankees 8
Ouch.
When did we think the Yankees have this one?
1. A 3-0, top of the first.
2. When they re-tied the game, 4-4.
3. When Tex's home run brought them to within one, 6-5.
4. Martin's two-run double re-ties the game, 8-8.
5. Tex's leadoff single in the ninth.
Then the stomach punch, and from Brett . . . Tomko. Walk-off homer.
Oof.
As Charlie Brown says, "Thus endeth the (five-game!) winning streak."

Yankees 2, A's 0
One of those games where you hold your breath, knowing, knowing that Kuroda is living dangerously, that one hanging slider, one grooved fastball, one unfielded fly ball . . . disaster.
Didn't happen. And Tex looked good, as well.

Yankees 6, A's 3
As Richard Justice said on Yahoo radio today, you can about to see a rotation take shape, with Pettitte and Nova.
With three great plays in right field, plus a home run . . . the Yankees just seem to win when Swisher is in the middle of things, ay?

Yankees 8, Orioles 5
Kay was right: Lost in the Cano onrush has been A-Rod, not a lot of power but steadily up to .300. Good to see Tex grab hold of one.
Phelps is destined to start soon.
20-15 and the season starts tomorrow.
Mariners 6, Yankees 2
No team came closer to having a great game and ended up with a lousy one. Two bases loadeds squandered, two bad Pettitte pitches, the tip off the glove in the eighth leading to two runs--unfortunate to spoil Andy's comeback. 19-15.

Yankees 6, Mariners 2
A good win in so many ways. Start the series by beating Yankee-killer Felix. Kuroda, who may be a second starter yet. Cano heating up, as we knew he would. And Ibanez, who may stay valuable.
Plus . . . that bullpen. Wednesday's Robertson meltdown is ancient history.
Yankees 5, Rays 3
No spectacular, but enough. How many times has CC done this, erase a killer loss in the matter of a single day?
