Yanks Have Good Weekend

The New York Yankees won their last couple of games against the Blue Jays. On Saturday, they won a dramatic game in 12 innings on a walk-off single by Jorge Posada after Robinson Cano bunted on 3-0 and the lead runner was thrown out at third base.

He has been so bad with runners in scoring position that Joe Girardi finally dropped him down to seventh in the order yesterday.

The bad thing about Saturday's game was that Chien-Ming Wang had to leave the game with a shoulder strain and bursitis and is out indefinitely. He was actually pitching pretty good until he gave up a two-run home run, which is when he felt the problem and then came out after the next pitch.

The bullpen was great as it has been so often lately.

Yesterday, Joba Chamberlain was just awful and you do have to start wondering about him as his velocity is down. To me, he doesn't have that slider anymore that used to devastate you when he would get two strikes on you. He has good stuff, but something just doesn't seem right and I hope he is okay. They say they are going to do a lot of talking with him this week and try to get him right, but I also get this feeling that he is kind of cocky and doesn't want to listen to anyone.

Alfredo Aceves was just brilliant yesterday, pitching four scoreless innings and picking up his first career save. The Yankees need someone to pitch Thursday and it looks like they will call up someone from AAA as Alfredo Aceves and Phil Hughes aren't stretched out enough. It seems to me that they want to keep Hughes in the bullpen this year as he has been so good out there.

The Yankees will try and complete the four-game sweep this afternoon with Andy Pettitte on the mound.
