Not a good way to start his Yankee career, right? Hopefully, CC will pitch better in Yankee Stadium. If not, it could be a very, very long season.

Health issues for CC? The guys on MLB network are speculating that he may have tweaked a muscle.

WE GOT A BALLGAME. He will be fine. Lest you forget he had a 13+ ERA after 4 starts last year. We all know how that ended

[Lets Go Rays]

Wonderful double play started by Melvin Mora there. Middle 7 6-5 O's!

[Lets Go Rays]

Damon up with a runner on 3rd.

Damon walks, Texeira........................................... ...........grounds out

8-5 after 8 innings. Tough day for the Yankees, but fortunately it's not in New York.

[catman]

The Yankees really need to put Joba back into the set-up role, IMO. They are not going to make the playoffs if they can't get leads to Mariano.

[BronxBomberz]

CC was horrible, he is the LVP today, we couldn't be in this position if he hadn't pitched so badly, but hopefully he turns it around next start.

Barring a collapse for the O's this game is well in hand.

[catman]

10-5 in the 8th, I guess I misread the box score on MLB.com.

[BronxBomberz]

Not the start I expected, oh well.
