Angels-Yankees Series; Upcoming Games

After Thursday night's game, I'd say you'd be kidding me if the Yankees could split a series with the Angels, the best team in baseball right now.

-After getting a spanking of 12-6 on Thursday night, I knew Sidney Ponson would be pitching the next night. Just like every other Yankee fan, negative thoughts were swirling in our minds. Instead, Ponson comes out and pitches one of his best games in pinstripes against the best team in baseball. He threw 7 innings of 2-hit, shutout ball. He had a no-hitter going through 5. We couldn't even reward him for his great effort. Our offense was complete shit against Ervin Santana. I knew it was over when Mo came in in a 0-0 game in the 9th. His stats in save opp. compared to non-save opp. are interesting. He gave up one run and that was it.
-Yankees got their revenge yesterday when Mussina came out and pitched 7 innings of 2-hit ball. It was very nice to see him get back on track. He's been our ace, and I'm lovin' it. Can you imagine this team with CMW pitching? We'd have one crap pitcher in Ponson or Rasner. But with IPK knocking on the door, we might only have one now. The Yankees got their offense rolling to a 8-2 win. (Oh& can we say congrats to JoMo for a 3-3 day including his first hr of the year?)
-Today was one of the craziest, best comeback wins of the year. I'm super pissed I missed it. I got to see the awesome first inning when Rasner sucked worse than a Grandma pitching out there. He only gave up 2 runs. But we were down 5-0, then only 5-1 on Pudge's first hr (WTG, bud!! Glad to see he's getting it together). The unpredictable happened when we tied the game up, then got ahead on Nady's 3-run hr to make it 8-5 (part of a 6-rbi day). Of course it all unravels when Edwar Ramirez gives up a grand slam to Texeria. I thought we were done for then, it was the 8th inning after all. Thanks to some costly errors by the Angels and good base-running by Justin Christian, we were able to take the final lead.

Hey, if the Yanks offense didn't suck on Fri night, we could've taken 3 out of 4 from an excellent team. The team to beat. Instead we split it and now face the Rangers.
