YANKEELAND REJOICES. YANKS BEAT METS EASILY

It wasn't much of a contest.  Johan Santana who just pitched a no hitter in his last start didn't have the same luck this time giving up 6 runs on 7 hits in just 5 innings.  The Yankees struck early last night and didn't look back and now they lead the Subway Series 1 game to zip against the New York Mets.  I'll take that...I'll take that all day long.

Robinson Cano was one of the big stars last night jacking out 2 home runs and collecting 4 RBI's on the night.  Yankeeland was also happy to see Nick Swisher crank 1 as well as Andruw Jones.  Overall, 9 runs by the Yankees. 

Hiroki Kuroda was the other star and pitched great again which is nice to see.  He went 7 innings, allowed only 1 hit and no runs.  He left in the 7th because he got a bruised foot, but X-rays came back negative.  He could have probably went the full game if he wasn't hit on the foot.  But as John Sterling would say to Suzyn Waldman... "That's baseball Suzyn, you never can predict it." After Kuroda, Cody Eppley pitched great and then was the debut of Ryota Igarashi.

Igarashi wasn't outstanding in his inning, but he also wasn't terrible either. He allowed the lone Mets run of the game although he did strikeout 2 and walk 2. His ERA ballooned to 22.50.

Alex Rodriguez was 1 for 2. He scored 2 runs and walked once, but again...he struck out 1 time.  The K bug is killing me. Why does this guy strike out nearly every single game.  That's a clear indication to me that all this stuff is in his head.  He's thinking too much.  Read ALEX THE LOST BOY for more incite.

Final Score tonight: Yankees 9 - Mets 1.
