Joba and Damon lift yankees 5-3

For the second straight outing Joba Chamberlin has had a rough first inning. It has been hurting his ability to go deeper into games. It seems that he may be to pumped up in the first. Once he settles down he seems to be fine. Being a strike out pitcher, he is going to throw a lot of pitches anyway. We will see what the Yankees can come up with in his next start over the weekend.

Damon on the other hand has been terrific lately. He did his heroics again on Sunday with a 2 run homer that broke a 3-3 tie and gave the Yankees the win. He also was named AL player of the week for last week.

A-Rod has been quiet since going deep on the first pitch he saw in his return. Hitting only .182 for the weekend and has made it known he feels a step slow right know. The One benefiting the most has been Mark Teixeira one homered in two straight games though is still struggling at the plate.
