Yanks Win!

And a 23 year old shall lead them.  Jesus, was it a long time between wins.  Girardi did his best again tonight, taking Monty out after 5.2 again, and then putting Clippard in with an 8-2 lead in the ninth, which became a 8-4 lead after just two batters.  It is over for Clippard and they have to move on.  Chad Green got 4 outs between the 6th and 7th and deserves the 7th inning role.  They scored 8 runs, but the kids are suddenly having the odd bad PA, and they need to wake up.

In other Yankee news, Greg Bird got a cortisone shot and they will turn him lose in a few days.  I can't believe it took them this long to get him a cortisone shot.  Giambi used to get them constantly.

The Yanks released a list of 20 signed players yesterday.  They aren't listing Schmitz or Sauer yet, but  if we're interesting in signing any of those high upside third day guys, we have to hope that the Sauer rumor of 2.65M is wrong, or that Schmitz gave us an insane discount.
