HUGE YANKEE COMEBACK ON FRIDAY THE 13TH

On Friday the 13th, the Yankees scored 4 runs in the bottom of the 8th inning and then were suddenly on their way to a come from behind win. It's a win the Boss would love to see if he were still here.  Today is 2 years since his death.  How ironic.  These are the types of games any true sports fans love.  The Yankees beat the Angels tonight in Game one of this series and momentum now needs to go their way for the weekend.  Sure, I'm stating the obvious, but it's important now, more so because we've now started the second half.

Give CJ Wilson credit, he pitched well against the Yankees tonight and there is no denying, he had it in the bag but Scott Downs lost control.  How do you think their conversation went after the game?

Hiroki Kuroda went 7.1 innings, gave up 8 hits and 5 runs. He struggled a bit and actually got a no decision. Chad Qualls got the win and Rafael Soriano got his 21st save of the season.  Atta boy...and untuck.

The best play of the game had to come from Nick Swisher, a great catch that for sure may have been a game changer and the Yankees may not have come back.  Everything happens for a reason...Swish kicked ass tonight in the field.  Good for him.

Derek Jeter had 2 hits tonight, Robinson Cano extended his hitting streak to 16 games and Mark Teixeria was 2 for 5 with 5 RBIs. Teixeira homered 2 times and I think it's safe to say, he's back. He hit the game tying 3 run homer in the 8th. I'd love to see his average rise to the .300 mark.  That would be vintage Teixeira.

In the end, it was Russell Martin who knocked in the go ahead run.  Russell Martin needed that big time because he's struggled terribly in the first half. Hopefully that hit is the sign of something good for him.

This is what Nick Swisher said about the game tonight, brought to you by My 9 Sports:

Yankees win tonight 6-5. Another game tomorrow.... I can't wait.  Go Yanks, Go!
