Taveras grounds out to SS, nice diving play by Jeter on one of the fastest players in baseball, one out.

Holliday walks on 4 pitches.

[browntown653]

Helton with a ground ball single in the SS hole in left, his 999th career hit at Coors Field...2 on, 2 out for Atkins.

[browntown653]

Atkins flies out to deep CF...HUMIDOR!

0-0 after 1.

[browntown653]

Top 2nd

A-Rod leads off with a sharp single up the middle.

[browntown653]

Woo, Posada with a double deep to center field...Taveras turned the wrong way but A-Rod could only go to third.

[browntown653]

This is completely bizarre...

The last time the Yankees played the Rockies in Coors Field (I think the only time) was in 2002. The Yankee rotation for that series, in order, was Mike Mussina-Andy Pettitte-Roger Clemens.

The rotation for this series, in order, is Mike Mussina-Andy Pettitte-Roger Clemens.

[browntown653]

Matsui grounds out to SS but A-Rod scores and Posada goes to third. 42nd RBI of the season for Matsui, 1-0 Yanks.

[browntown653]

Ugh, Cano grounds out to SS and the infield was in...Posada's pretty damn slow anyway. 2 outs.

[browntown653]

They pitch to Nieves, probably because he's not much of a better hitter than Mussina anyway...

And it works as he strikes out. 1-0 Yanks going to the bottom 2nd.

[browntown653]

Bottom 2nd

Hawpe grounds out to Cano, one out.

[browntown653]

Tulowitzki flies out to Abreu on the first pitch, two down.

[browntown653]

Torrealba lines a single past a diving Jeter. here comes THE DANGEROUS JOSH FOGG, .150 AVG, .150 OBP and 0 RBIs.
