Yankees and the Playoffs
Today the Yankees beat the Jays 7-3 in the Bronx. The offense started clicking again led by 2 HRs and 4 RBIs from veteran righty Andruw Jones. Freddy Garcia pitched 6.1 giving up 8 hits and 3 ER. The bullpen of Chamberlain, Robertson, and Rivera shut it down afterwards. Mariano made his 1000 appearance with the Yanks today in the non save oppurtunity. The bullpen has been the strength and will need to continue with news after the game of Phil Hughes and Rafeal Soriano. Hughes' DL stint will be extended to 60 days with his circulatory problems. Soriano has been diagnosed by Dr. James Andrews with an inflamed ligament in his elbow. He has been told to rest for 2 weeks before taking part in a month long pitching program. GM Brian Cashman says he could face batters again in 4-6 weeks. When he comes back he will probably make and appearance or two at the minor league level first. The other news is the Thunder and the Mavs. The Mavs can clinch tonight against the Thunder. I feel they will. Westbrook and Durant aren't playing together and the Thunder have no leadership. For the Thunder to be better look for them in the offseason to make a run at Chris Paul. He would fit in with their system and would be like a Jason Kidd to them. The Mavs will go to the championship series. Thanks for reading leave me questions. I'm Out!
