Payback is a.......

Had to double check this box score, with that amount of homers could have sworn this was at NEW yankee stadium. Orioles bombed Phil "Francise" starting with Aubrey Huff's 3 run DINGER and the bleeding didn't stop until 8 runs scored in the 2nd inning. 13 batters came to the plate in the second inning as yankee fans everywhere had nightmarish flash backs of that brutal second inning against the Indians. There's just something about that second inning? At one point in the game it was 11-1 when the Yanks started the surge of offense sparked by THE SWISH (of course!).

Phil Francise came into the game 1-1 with a respectable 2.70 ERA, after Saturdays performance that ERA beefed up like Mo Vaghn and sits at a pretty 8.49.....OUCH! And all that after 1 2/3 innings pitches. That's one of those moments when you watch sports and can say "I can do that". Phil is looking pretty rough right now, but still they should stick with him and build up his confidence, ecspecially after Ian Kennedy's annuerism, they lose a lot of that "pitching depth" (if you consider that depth).

On a brighter note Baltimore threw out Adam Eaton who gave up consecutive homers to Johnny D and Tex with 2 outs in the 5th. Later in the 6th Baltimore RP Danys Baez (on my fantasy team damnit!) gave up a homer to THE SWISH!

QUICK FACTS via espn reporting
-Jeter is now 7 for 7 on SB attempts on the year
-Tex is 6 for 10 lifetime against Eaton, including 2 home runs
-Brett Tomko, called up from Scranton, allowed a homer on the 2 pitch of his outing. Bronx bloggers is now taking donations for a train ticket BACK to Scranton.

TERRIBLE FACTS via espn again
-6th time this season (its MAY) Yankees have given up at least 10 runs, and yes folks that leads the MLB

Sunday is the desperatley needed rubber game, with Joba (thumb permitting) taking the mound, hopefully Yanks win the game and take the series....
