Yanks Win a Wild One in the Bronx!

Man, what a wild one! Rasner put the Yanks behind the 8 ball by giving up 5 early runs as the O struggled against Lackey. They somehow failed to score on fly ball with the bases loaded when Abreu got thrown out at third before Jeter could score! The Yanks started coming back when Ivan Rodgriguez homered, and the Xavier Nady hit a two run double. The Yanks then took the lead on a three run homer by Nady in the 7th. But, in the bottom of the 8th, Edwar K'd the first two hitters, then loaded the bases through walks and a single before giving up a grand slam to Mark Texiera. The Yanks were down one to start the 8th, but Pudg singled, then was lifted for Justin Christian with a 3-2 count on Melky. Christian took, and Melky was safe on an error. Christian tried to steal third and Mathis threw the ball into left. Christian scored and Melky went to third. Some walks, another error and clutch hits from Cano, Nady and Christian, gave the Yanks a 14-9 lead going into the 9th. Veras came in, gave up a 1 out double, but then got the last two outs on a K and a flyball, for the win. Girardi can be questioned for leaving Edwar in when he didn't have it, but, he must also be praised for putting Christian in once the count went to 3-2 on Melky. This was a crazy game, but the Yanks really needed it and they GOT IT! Go Yanks!
