7 in a row! I just hope the Yankee's can keep on winning, which will be tuff since Wang hurt himself.

Let's keep it coming!

Btw, what's your take of the Yanks signing of Ponson? I don't think he's the answer but if they need an extra pitcher for the double-header game against the Mets next week then I'm fine with it. But I still want that last spot for Phil Hughes though - I still believe in this guy

Yea Yanks!

Speaking of which, has anyone yet seen this? The headline is Switch Pitcher Causes Confusion.

Yes, a switch pitcher -- a new one on me and he was drafted by the Yankees and played his first pro game for Staten Island. He uses a special glove with six fingers, two webs, and fits on both hands.

He was brought in for the ninth inning, had struck out two batters, when a switch hitter came to the plate. Batter took his swings in the on deck circle as a left, then stepped into the righty batter's box. Pitcher changed hands. Batter changed boxes. Rinse and repeat many times over until the umpires finally made a ruling. Pitcher struck out the batter to end the game.

If you want to read the whole story and view a video of this at bat, you can do so here. Switch pitcher causes confusion

I really want to see this kid pitch in the majors someday.

Ok I take that last statement back. Josh Hamilton rocked! What an inspiring story he is and his old Legion coach pitching to him put an exclamation point on that.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We just lost Pudge Rodriguez to those Yankees!!!!

[lildago]

Sorry, veejer. I was coming in here to say that I am NOT a Yankees fan. I am, however, a huge Pudge fan. So now I'll be following the Yankees. So disappointed in you though, Pudge.
