PETTITTE PASSES KOUFAX BUT THE YANKEES FALL SHORT

Watching these Yankees games have been cringe worthy. I almost feel like a glutton for punishment. But, what can you do? I watch the games, invest time, and money, because darn it! I will stand behind my boys.

Andy Pettitte went 6 IP, and gave up 2 runs. An RBI single, and a solo homer, both to AJ Pierzynski. Still, he managed to pitch an excellent game, and passed the great Sandy Koufax on the all time strike out leaders board.

Shawn Kelley came in the 7th, after Pettitte put two runners on base, and played clean up very well. He ended up giving up his first home run to David Murphy since May 16th, in the 8th inning.

The offense was asleep. They struggled with leaving runners stranded, as per usual. Robinson Cano was able to get an RBI single in the 6th, after Brett Gardner got a triple on an error by Matt Garza. That would be the Yankees only run scored.

Final: Texas 3 - Yankees 1

I'd like to put out a "Missing Persons" flyer out there. If you find the Yankees offense, please return it to 161st, and River Ave, in the Bronx. Thanks!
