CC's in late season form... just located a nasty 96 mph fastball on the low outside corner for a called strike on Mayberry in the 8th inning w/2 men on base & stuck him out w/a nasty slider down & in to get out of the jam... ends the inning w/a Joba-esque fist pump.

time for the ghosts to make their presence felt... bottom of the 8th & 9th to score 2 runs... let's GO YANKS!

good job by Veras in the 9th... walked a batter but got 2 tough hitters to strike out in Utley & Rollins.

time for another whipped cream pie ending!

I hope we can get at least one run here. CC does NOT deserve a loss.

Cano leads off w/a single... let's GO baby!

PENA STEALS 2B! we're set up w/Melky at the plate... Gardner, Pena & Melky all in the middle of our rallies today... LET'S GO YANKS!

MELKY SINGLES!!! TIE GAME!!!!!!

Melky steals 2B... Swisher at the plate, set up for a game winner here.

Swish grounds out to 2B, Melky moves over to 3B... here comes Gardner.

grounds out to 1B... extra innings

Jeter singles to start the 10th... who's gonna be the hero today? my money's on Teix to get his cream pie facial.

Damon singles! Let's GO YANKS!

farg, Teix GIDP... ARod up.

ARod getting walked intentionally... Pena up w/a chance to be the hero... our kids have been the reason we're back in this game to begin with... Pena can seal the deal w/a hit here.. LET's GO!

flies out to CF... big missed opportunity in the 10th, runners on 1st & 2nd 0 outs & get no runs... couldn't even bunt w/Teix & ARod up at bat.

It's too bad they couldn't have scored more runs for CC today. He didn't have his best stuff but he battled great and kept the team in the game.

dammit... Tomko gives up a run, Phils up 4-3

tough loss after a nice comeback in the 9th... CC pitched well & the kids came through again, but can't tempt fate so many times with a big missed opportunity in the 10th

Is CC strategically getting fewer Ks to keep his pitch count lower?

hughes looked great today...

upon further review, i apologize to gkfv2. i basically went on a rabid tangent.

After 1 IP, Bruney's headed back to the DL
