Yankees vs Texas - We Spank 'em Finally

Final score Yankees 15 - Rangers 7

The bats finally came alive for the Yanks, including a 2 out Grand Slam by Giambi! That was sweet! But the Rangers came back and kept it a close game until a 9 run 7th inning by the Yankees.

The highest scoring game I have ever attended, and my second with a Grand Slam.
Nice to see the bats come alive, hopefully they can keep that going. With the way the Yankess have been playing lately, maybe they should take some of those runs and spread them out a bit more. But it was fun to watch.

And now the pictures, a little more intent on watching the game tonight, so not that many. I did get a shot of the pitch where Giambi bashed the Grand Slam, but it's too blurry

Why couldn't that photo have turned out this good?

This is what we like to see at the end of the game.

Final Score. Thanks Yanks!

Yankees vs. Toronto, Giambi Brings It Home

Man o' man what a game. The most exciting ending I have ever attended that's for sure. I'll leave the real play-by-play up to the Professionals, but in case you haven't heard...

Bottom of the ninth Yankees are down 8-7 after Matsui singled in A-Rod. With 2 outs Giambi comes in to pinch hit for Molina, after 2 strikes he nails a huge walk off homer to he upper deck. The Stadium went CRAAAZY, it was awesome! The entire game was a heart attack central, so glad to see the Yanks pull out the late game comeback. It used to seem so natural for the Yanks to pull out the comeback, but no so much lately, let's hope this is the beginning of something good.

Also of note, Jorge was back today. Jorge is my favorite Yankee. A while back I pledged; that should we attend the game where he returns from the DL, I would buy a Posada shirt. So sure enough, I am now the proud owner of a Posada t-shirt.

Now for the pictures, I got the full starting rotation today.
