The Plane for Scranton is now Boarding

Darrell Rasner just allowed a 2-out, 3-run HR to Andy Marte in the bottom of the 8th. Marte had committed two errors in the game and just more than made up for it. Rasner can put some of the blame on Chris Woodward, whose error kept the inning going.

Advantage Mr. Karstens.

I'll Take a Pair of Hitting Shoes in a Size 12

The Yankees have stormed back for a 5-4 lead in the 7th. Yankees tied it up with 3 in the 6th- Francisco Gutierez robbed Jason Giambi of a home run, but the Giambino rambled into 2nd with a double. Robinson Cano slashed an RBI double to left and scored on Wilson Betemit's single. Jose Molina's 3rd hit of the day brought home Betemit with the tying run.

Cano's 3rd hit of the day put the Yanks on top for the first time in the 7th. Kyle Farnsworth (6th) and Darrell Rasner (7th) have each tossed a scoreless inning.

IPK - D O N E

Ian Kennedy's day ended a lot better than it started. After a rocky first inning, in which he allowed 4 runs, IPK settled down and threw 3.2 scoreless frames. His line for the day - 4.2 IP 5 H 4 R 0 ER 4 BB 2 K. The walks are obviously the biggest issue and lead to his early exit.

Scott Patterson has come on to pitch as he tries to snare that final roster spot.

Yankees had the bases loaded and no one out in the 5th, but Johnny Damon lined out and Derek Jeter bouced into an inning ending DP. They did pick up a run on in the 3rd when Jose Molina doubled, his first of two hits, and later came around on Andy Marte's 2nd error of the day.

The Seesaw

Up and Down 2nd inning for IPK. Retired the first two, but then issued back-to-back walks. That's 3 in just 2 innings. The inning could have been over before the 2nd walk as Jose Molina had Asdrubel Cabrera picked off of first, but Jason Giambi swung and missed with his tag attempt. Victor Martinez flied out to deep center to end the threat.

Slap me Around and Call me Susan

Tough start for IPK, thanks in part to a misplay by Melky Cabrera in center. Indians centerfielder Grady Sizemore lead off with a high pop to Melky. What should have been an easy out, turned into a windblown, sun-filled, 3-base error. Asdrubal Cabrera's ground out brought home Sizemore with the first run. The Indians put 2 more men on with a walk and a single and Ryan Garko brought them home with a 3-run blast.
