Yanks at Devil Rays 7/7-7/9

The final series before the AS break got underway last night w/ a nice 1-0 victory. Wright bounced back from his horrid performance against the Mets and pitched 6 shutout innings and the pen took it from there. Click the link for the box:

The pitching matchups for the rst of the series are:

Wang vs. Kazmir Tonight
Kris Wilson vs. Fossum on Sunday

I don't know much about Kris but the pen should be rady as they'll get 3 days off after the game.

Yesterday wasa rough way to end the 1st half. We could have ben 2 back and riding a 5 game win streak but instead we blew a 5-0 lead and head into the break on a bad note but at least Boston lost to keep us 3 out going into the break. We have a big series w/ Chi after the break so we better get some rest and take that series so it can give us a leg up on the WC race just in case.

Well once again we fail to sweep a series when we have it by the balls, but i'll take 2 of 3 considering how well TB was playing coming into this series. The deficit is 3 at the break.

Time to pick up a pitcher and a reliver !

I think we need a bat and a reliever and hopefully it will be coming off the DL w/ Dotel, Cano and Sheff/Matsui.

I read a blurb in the paper today saying a rumor at the ASG is that the Yanks are going to re-acquire Tom Gordon.

Interesting. I don't think we can bank on Dotel personally so acquiring Gordon depending on who for would not be a bad move. You have to wonder then if a deal for Gordon also means a deal for Abreu.
