So, far he has pitched pretty darn good, Helly keeps pitching wide to the lefties, probably discomboobalated (spelled wrong way on purpose) with Dad watching him.

[Tobywan]

Longo lines a single into right.
Zobrist hits a rocket to right, Swish leaps awesome catch! Dang you Swish!

Kotch sent a long one into left foul territory, Gardner misses it, almost ate the wall......Kotch stings one to first, Teix makes a diving stop, pops up and steps on the bag....Longo moves to second...Dang you Teix.

Upton grounds out to short......dang 'em all!

[Hammer]

hes a touch wild (hughes, though hellickson is too), but he keeps pitching to enough contact that his pitch count isnt completely stupid, and he keeps getting ground balls. hes gotta stay away from being enamored with strikeouts.

[Tobywan]

Chavez flies out to left.
Posada Singles to left.
Martin lines out to second.
Gardner with a base hit to right.
Jeter lines out to short.

On to the 5th. Yanks lead 2-0.

[Tobywan]

Joyce flies out to right.
SRod Ks looking.
Chirinos Ks swinging.

[Tobywan]

hes gotta stay away from being enamored with strikeouts.

You could tell that to about 75% of the league.

[Tobywan]

Grandyman lifts one high and deep to right....Joyce climbing the wall.............GONE!! Dang it, dang it, dang it!!!!

Yanks up 3-0.

[Tobywan]

Cano doubles off the RF wall. Hmmm, so much for that Home Run Derby curse!!

[Tobywan]
