Interesting to see Giambi back in the Bronx. He deserves a loud applause, and even a bleacher creature roll call.
Also, tonight could be an mini audition for Matt Holliday if the Yankees are even slightly interested in him.
Update 7:37
It’s the second inning. Swisher walked. Hideki doubled, first and third. Ransom pops out, no runs. Gardner gets a 2 run single and then steals 2nd. Gardner on 2nd, 1 out.
Update 7:46
The Yankees batted around, and managed to score 4 runs. End of the 2nd.
Update 8:39
The A’s got the bases loaded in the top of the fourth on three consecutive singles (two of which were by Holliday and Giambi). They managed to score 2 runs. Now going into the fifth 4-2 Yankees.
Update 9:01
The A’s brought in this kid named Andrew Bailey in the 5th. It is now the 6th, he gave up a solo home run Damon. Well, anyway this kid has filthy stuff. The Yankees should get him, ha!
Update 9:32
5-2 Yankees. Top of the eight, Mr. Bruney is in.
Update 9:38
End of the top of the eight. Bruney actually gave up a run on a single, then wild pitch, then double.
Update 10:00
Start spreading the news…Yankees win! Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera tied the record for most wins-saves combination with 57.
