Game on YES at 7 pm
NEXT UP: Saturday, July 13th, at 4 pm, at Baltimore
this was one that they had to have
and they had at it.
tomorrow is another day
and it should be interesting times for all concerned
That's like the last out of Reynolds' second no-hitter, where Yogi dropped the foul pop up, then caught the next one.
Seriously, Cabrera should have been given an E-5 for prolonging the time at bat.
Clay Holmes aint sal Maglie
and the Baltimore manager is full of birdseed
For all the talk of the Yankees being in a tailspin, so have the Orioles. The Orioles have not played well since that series in New York, and they have now lost 4 in a row. NOW is the time to catch them if the Yankees can. Tonight was a start. Hopefully, they will continue this trend in the next two days.
Maybe, that'll wake them up!
