Okay, there's one way for a starting pitcher to get the JPotG award--when the hitting is the star. Tavarez wins it for pitching seven scoreless when he could've given up 10 runs and still won. I think that's Julian "Dick Weber" Tavarez' second award. Timlin pitched a 1-2-3 ninth, that should build his confidence. I don't think he's done at all.

Lugo's almost there! .201! On the other side of shitty, Manny reached .300 tonight. A dong for him tonight, too. Papi, Coco, Drew, and Hinske also went deep.

Way to take another series. It's so late-90s Yankees to say "just win each series." But it is a good theory. We're 9.5 up at the moment. 5 out of 6 and 21 games over. Gold.

Update: The Rockies score four in the seventh, and beat the Yanks 6-1. Sweet. 10 games up, and it's another round of "is this the end of the Yanks" for the media. I don't see much of the NL, but that Rockies club is freakin' awesome! After whipping up on us, I expected a rollover against Dunbar, but they've come through in the first two games. I guess this weekend I can compare them to the St. Jimmy Pops.
