Game 2:

Jeter lifted the Yankees again yesterday, smashing a game-ending home run over the right-field fence off Keith Foulke in the bottom of the ninth inning. It gave the Yankees a 4-3 victory (over the World Series Champs, the Red Sox) and salvaged a lost afternoon for closer Mariano Rivera.

The Tribe lost 1-0 in the ninth.........Jake Westbrook pitched a helluva game for Cleveland but the White Sox came up 1 better, 161 games to go.

ya I think Clevland does look good to go real far this year. Even though I will still be rootin for my Tigers I kinda like the Tribe this year. they have a good pitching staff and C.C Sabithia will be back soon. They have some pretty good hitters I personally like Coco Crisp. They are off to a rough start right now 0-2 but Tigers got roughed up by KC today so I cant talk really.

I dunno there is alot of games left we will see

The day after George Steinbrenner used an e-mail message to criticize the underachieving Yankees, Manager Joe Torre sat in the dugout at Yankee Stadium yesterday afternoon and solemnly said he did not expect his team to snap out of its funk in one game.

Was Torre ever wrong.

The Yankees needed just two innings last night to unleash a musclebound offense that scored 13 second-inning runs and lifted them to a 19-8 victory over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

During a half-inning that lasted 34 minutes and left the crowd buzzing, the Yankees sent 17 batters to the plate and scored 13 runs and had 11 hits, including a grand slam by Tino Martinez.

A Magic Number by Rodriguez: 10 R.B.I.

They have played baseball on 161st Street in the Bronx since 1923. In all that time, with so many legends having roamed the grounds, no player has ever been responsible for 10 of his team's runs in a game. Not Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig. Not Joe DiMaggio or Mickey Mantle. Not Derek Jeter.

***

A-Rod hit three homers in his first three at-bats and became only the 11th major league player with 10 or more RBIs in a game, leading the Yankees over the Los Angeles Angels 12-4 on Tuesday night.

A performance topped only by another Yankee infielder from the past, "Push-'em-Up" Tony Lazzeri....

http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Tony-Lazzeri

Lazzeri holds the American League record for most RBI in a game with 11, set May 24, 1936. That same day he became the first major league player to hit two grand slams in one game.

Tony Lazzeri was selected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991.

As a member of the Yankees until 1937, he averaged 79 runs, 14 home runs, 96 RBI and 12 stolen bases including seven seasons with over 100 RBI and five seasons batting .300 or higher (including a high of .354 in 1929). During this time the Yankees won six American League pennants (1926, 1927, 1928, 1932, 1936 and 1937) and five World Series championships (1927, 1928, 1932, 1936 and 1937).

And not many people know who he was!

When a team wins for the fourth time in five games and for the 14th time in its last 16, the credit gets spread around the way it was last night after the Yankees defeated the Detroit Tigers, 4-2, at blustery Yankee Stadium.

Yankee Explosion; Devil Ray Implosion

The longest day of the year in terms of sunlight brought the shortest game of the season in terms of Randy Johnson, the starting pitcher for the Yankees. But Johnson's failings were forgotten, at least temporarily, when his teammates recovered from a 10-2 deficit to defeat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays by 20-11 last night before 40,241 roaring fans in a messy and stunning performance at Yankee Stadium.

The bombardment peaked in the bottom of the eighth inning, when Bernie Williams gave the Yankees their first lead with a bases-loaded triple that scored three runs and put them ahead by 13-11. Jorge Posada, Gary Sheffield, Alex Rodriguez and Hikeki Matsui then followed with home runs in the same inning. The Yankees scored 13 runs in the inning and finished the game with 23 hits, 6 of them home runs.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
