   oh, boy, repeat of 1st inning bases-loaded fail. Will we succumb or succeed? Maybe AJ is setting the tone…

   Looked pretty good with his comand of fastballs to the first batter, but Starlin stood up, and said “I like those.” Hit a low of the zone pitch twoseam fader thru the hole to right.

   I’d say AJ looked pretty strong, getting two more weak ground ball outs, although his simple fastballs were mixed with breaking balls. Pretty efficient: by the time my drink was refilled, he was done. Guys have to be encouraged.

   Nice, Martin was running on the pitch, so Nunez hopper was only good for one.

   I know, AJ should HIT it!

   Well, inconclusive second for the Yankees, as Brett pops out.

   Nobodyelse here, so I’ll just watch the pitches and swings.

   a question for the passerby: where is the bound of the lower strike zone?

   the knees, but top , middle or bottom?

   Nice curve to the low outside corner, to get Fukudome. okay, AJ!

   Boy, I wish he could throw more curves for strikes, he would deke them much more often on his dirtballs, too.

   Now, this sucks: Burnett up to hit first.

   Ah, more ballet as he sings/waves at strike three.

   AJ was looking good, but he put one down the middle, and Pena smashed it. Tied up!

    Nunez kicks one at a critical time. Ouch. AJ was laboring, but doing it, in the 6th. Coulda been doubleplay, but AJ’s out, instead.

    Now, Robbie fails to glove an Arod dp throw. Man we’re giving them 6 or 7 outs!

    But hold on, if you missed that, you missed it! Bret charges to catch a curling smash , and effectively channels the momentum into a perfect strike to home. Russell had the ball, and 3 steps to prepare for Carlos Pena’s fastest block. He made sure to show him the ball in the glove. DP at last, third time tells.
