Seeing #42 close out the Yankees double header tonight gave me chills. I know we honored Jackie Robinson today, but there was something incredibly symbolic about seeing #42 on the mound in the 9th tonight. It's our house... and Mariano is not there. Tonight, he, and Jackie, they were there. Again... I got chills. Adam Warren was that #42 in the 9th today. More on that in a moment.
The Yankees won both games today against the Cubs. The first game they won 3-0, read EASY PEASY... YANKEES WIN GAME 1. Tonight, they did it again, another shutout.
Michael Pineda went in the night cap. He went 6 innings, giving up only 4 hits. The rest of the gang, Phelps, Thornton and Adam Warren held the Cubs down.
The Yankee runs went simply like this. In the 4th, Brett Gardner singled scoring Scott Sizemore. Then, in the 5th, Sizemore singled and that scored Alfonso Soriano. Yup, it was that simple and clearly, the timing is right for Sizemore... he's up at the right time, good for him.
Final tonight: Yankees 2 - Cubs 0.
A doubleheader... and they both go the Yankees way. I love those kind of days... Go Yanks! Great Job!
