He out pitched Beckett and I’m sure Hank feels good about that. Cabrera made a great catch in the outfield, Cano made a great double play ball with a flip to Jeter. Awesome game. I was thinking, Joba the Sloba could be a nice name for him. It’s like he’s in the Ghostbusters and he just sloba’s people except he... Read Full Story

Mike Lupica Mike Lupica of the New York Daily News believes the Boston Red Sox are in for a “pitched” battle. The Red Sox have lost too many late inning leads this season and have been a bad road team. The Red Sox lineup has looked as helpless as the Yankees’ lineup has this season and Lupica believes that Joe Girardi has done a better job with the Yankees’ bull pen this year than Joe Torre. Says Lupica.. Joe Girardi, at least so far, has done something Joe Torre hadn’t done for a long time... Read Full Story
