Yankees review after 13 games

Well they have played 13 games and they are 7-6, ther have been some really ugly games and some good ones. These Yankees are better then a 1 game above .500 record. So with last nights rainout, lets take a look at the good the bad and the ugly.

Lets start with the starting pitching. The Bright spot has been A.j. Burnett and Andy Pettite. There is big concern with Chein-Ming Wang and his 34.50 era. They will skip his next start in Boston on Friday and with yesterdays rain out will not effect the rotation until next week. Look for him to work out his problems soon or you'll be seeing Phil Hughes.

The bullpen has been good and bad at times. The bright spots have been Brain Brunney, Jonthan Albaladejo, Marino Rivera. The bad have been Jose veras, Damaso Marte these two have been the main ignitors of bullpen explosions. Look for fill Coke to be t he go to left handed specialist.

The lineup has O.K. considering injuries to Nady, A-rod, and Matsui. The Yankees will miss Nady's bat and depth in the outfield. They also need to hope A-rod will come fully recovered from hip surgery. There also needs to be some decisions made on Matsui on his cranky knee. Bret Gardner is a work in progress and Cody Ransom has struggled at the plate. Look for Nick Swisher to cool off like he has started to do. If hit could hit around .290 I think they'll take it.
Also expect Cano to have a big year which he setting up to have.

Yankees bounce back 7-3 over Indians

It was shaping up to be another bad day for the Yankees. Carl Pavano of all people just had pitched 6 good innings against his former team and left the game with a 2 run lead. In the 7th inning Matsui singled and Robinson Cano scored to make it 3-2, Jorge Posada pinching hitting for Jose Molina homers to right with Cody Ransom on base on a conversely call that was reviewed. The Ball was touched by a fan than hit the top of wall then bounced back in field of play. The ruling was based on the trajectory of the ball. This put the Yankees ahead in the game 4-3 . In the 8 th Cody Ransom doubled down the left field line that cleared the bases and gave the Yankees some breathing room.

A.j. Burnett pitched 6.1 innings walked 7 and gave up 2 home runs before being relived by Jonthan Albaladejo in the 7th. Brain Bruney and Marino Rivera closed it out of the Yankees.
