Any win against the Yankees is a good win.
One of my high school football and baseball coaches, Coach Clark, had a saying:
“When you’ve got the other team down… you kick them in the balls”
Well, this is what is expected against a Yankees team without A-rod and Posada. Both have a combined 287 home runs and 1509 RBIs against Kenny Rogers, but they couldn’t be in the lineup tonight. I’m not shedding any tears. Detroit jumped on mediocre Phil Hughes early and often. Polanco gets four hits — hopefully he’s coming out of his funk (and feeling better).
Gary Sheffield homers, but who knows if thats good news or not. Curtis Granderson also homered; just as important, he walked twice and didn’t strike out. Curtis has three home runs in just six games… Gary has two homers in 19. I’m still not convinced Sheffield’s healthy, but maybe if he has to play he should stay in the #3 spot.
Jacque Jones: 0-4 with two strikeouts. Pulled again for Ryan Raburn as a defensive replacement.
