Andy Pettitte pitched a gem and it was overshadowed by the bombs in Cleveland tonight! The Yankees were knocking them out of the park at a record level. They were on a mission and they clearly refused to play small ball. Maybe this was just a crazy coincidence that the Yankees continued to crank out home runs. Maybe it was a sign that the Yankees are truly in-sync. Or maybe this is what Brian Cashman knew would happen all along, and we, the fans, on the outside looking in are wrong about this club. Any way you slice it... the Yankees are in fact the real deal, and it was evident tonight when they were the "true" Bronx Bombers!
First off, our "go-to" guy, Andy Pettitte. 7 strong innings. He struck out 4 and gave up 5 hits and only 1 run. What can you say... it's Andy Pettitte... simply the best and stronger than ever. And to think... this guy retired. My goodness.
Now onto the hitting. There was a ton of it and I'm bound to miss something, but here it goes...
Brett Gardner hit a double in the first inning and then the homers began. In the 3rd, Ichiro Suzuki hit a solo shot. Robinson Cano, who is hot as hell had a 2 run home run and a 2 run double tonight. Kevin Youkilis clobbered a two run home run off Brett Myers in the sixth inning.
Then Lyle Overbay hit a solo shot off Myers in the 8th, and then Brennan Boesch hit a 2 run shot off Myers in the 8th. In the end, the Yankees were a power club tonight... small ball what?
Final tonight: Yankees 14 - Indians 1. Oh yeah... and that losing record? Um, we're 4-4. A new season starts tomorrow...
