Home Game 35
Yankees 6 Marlins 5
Subway Race Winner: B train (*see note)
Cap Game: #3



Yay! My first Friday night win!

The Yanks managed to cool off the recently hot Marlins. After the way the first inning went I thought we were in for a blowout. But Florida hung in there and kept it close all night. Wang wasn't as sharp as he had been in his last few starts, but he pitched well nonetheless.

A-Rod is starting to heat up, going 3-for-5 with an RBI and run scored. Jorge also had 3 hits as did Andy Phillips (including his first career triple.)

The people who usually hold up a banner for Matsui when he comes to the plate now have one for Giambi.

Melky's assist in the 6th was just awesome. He fired an absolute bullet. Cano made one of the smoothest tags I've seen.

Today looks like it could be a wash out. Even if they do play I doubt the Old Timer's festivities will be held.

* It seems the subway race is no longer brought to us by Dunkin' Donuts/Baskin Robins. They went back to the old graphics, before the race was sponsored.

In attendance record: 11-10
