The Yankees swept the Mariners and have taken Game 1 of this 3 game series against the Athletics. David Phelps pitched brilliantly. Hiroki Kuroda will hope to follow that up with a series win tonight. PSA DP for life!
David Phelps pitched his best game of the year last night against the second best team in the majors. The Athletics could not figure him out all night, only managing two hits against Phelps. With recent news of Michael Pineda not being back till at least August, as well as CC Sabathia's uncertain time frame, this was exactly the start we needed from Phelps to help put out mind at ease. Somewhat.
...we're still doomed. Pack it up and cash it in.

Aaron Uno pretended to be Caesar while in the Coliseum tonight, giving the thumbs down to the A's while Phelps was pitching. Aaron Dos and Aaron Tres moved a few seats down and pretended not to know him. Meanwhile, we have a winner to announce. That winner is long time listener, who scored 4,000 points to thwart his opponents. Not quite his usual "callin' it" but it'll do I'm sure.

Hiroki Kuroda gets the start for the Yankees tonight, as they try to win the series against the A's. Let us hope, once again, for the good HIROK to emerge. Also, if the offense can keep doing that whole hitting thing, that'd be great as well. I, for one, like the Derek Jeter that hits like Derek Jeter.
