5/23 - red sox at yankees

[Hammer]

1-0 yankees already... pettitte walked crisp in the first, then picked him off, after striking out ortiz. damon doubled, then jeter singled off pedroia's glove to drive in damon. and thats where we stand.

[Hammer]

3-0 yankees, hideki matsui with a laser shot into the short porch.

[Hammer]

arod hit it to the warning track in right center, it was a bit inside not on the fat part of the bat, otherwise it might be 4-0. everythings been hit hard so far though.

[Hammer]

and so much for hitting the ball hard... weak groundball to youk from jorge posada, 2 outs.

[Hammer]

and abreu with a sharp single to right, 1 on 2 outs for giambi

[Hammer]

schilling picks off abreu, giambi will lead off the 2nd

he caught abreu sleeping at first, he went back in standing up and was tagged out. looked like he mightve got the foot in, but it was so close and he looked so foolish he deserved to get called out.

[Hammer]

missed how manny got out... youk doubled down the line, so man on 2nd 1 out.

[Hammer]

lowell flew out to abreu in right, strong throw keeps youk from tagging... hes not the swiftest footed guy anyway

[Hammer]

varitek pops out to arod, pettitte is through 2.

[Hammer]

giambi strikes out

[Hammer]

bunt single for bob cano... a crafty move indeed, a nice bunt.

[Hammer]

mientkiewicz continues to be the biggest waste of space in lifes history... stares at a pedestrian 90 mph fastball down the plate for strike 3.

[Hammer]

damon hits one in the hole to lugo, he made a jump throw to 2nd, but cano wouldve beat it anyway, as the ball sails into right field. john damon gets a single, and then theres an error that allows cano to get to 3rd... 1st and 3rd, 2 outs, for derek jeter.

[Hammer]

.619, 1 hr, 15 rbis were jeters numbers before that at bat with risp and 2 outs. lets up that a little bit more, a single off mike lowells glove, rbi single for jeter. 1st and 2nd 2 outs for matsui.

also that was his 2215th hit of his career, passing joe dimaggio on the all time yankees list.

[Hammer]

matsui flies out to manny, 4-0 yankees end of 2.
