Yanks win.  Mets lose.
Yanks won a sloppy one.  A.J. Burnett has earned a mulligan.  The bats all contributed, every spot in the order had a hit, run, or RBI except catcher.  Robbie Cano went yard for the third time this spring.  Brett Gardner, BBT favorite, is finally named the Opening Day centerfielder.  Today, it’s Andy Pettite vs. Toronto.
Mike Pelfrey didn’t get out of the first inning of a rainy one, Jerry Manuel pulled the starters after an hour rain delay.  B-Squad left 19 runners on.  A forgettable day.  Today, it’s Oliver Perez against the Orioles.

Yanks win.  Mets win.
Yankee pitchers let up only two earned runs.  Brett Tomko bounces back from bad news.  Xavier Nady was 3-for-4 batting between Mark Teixeira and Robbie Cano, who both homered.  Robbie Cano otherwise left five on base.  Melky Cabrera had three hits – our own Ollie Perez.  Today, it’s A.J. Burnett versus the rrrrr Pirates.
Every Met except David Wright and Carlos Beltran had a hit, and six pitchers took the hill to combine for the win.  T-E-A-M.  Jose Reyes was in the middle of it all with a two-run single.  Today, it’s Mike Pelfrey versus the Orioles.  Shoe will be watching.  Elmer Dessens is 37 years old.

Yanks win.  Mets win.
Yanks squeaked out four runs on three hits and two Reds errors.  CC Sabathia went 7 2/3 with seven strikeouts.  Damaso Marte and Mariano Rivera did the rest.  Mo looks so happy, doesn’t he?  Can I amend my bet on how many games CC wins?  Cody Ransom and Brett Gardner have combined for nine stolen bases this spring.  Mark Teixeira had two hits.
Mets had the regulars all in – finally.  Dan Murphy welcomed them back by showing them up.  Johan Santana killed the Dunn-less Nats six strikeouts and one run over seven innings.  Francisco Rodriguez got through his inning, stranded two.  Today, it’s rookie Dillon Gee versus the Marlins.  About a week to go in the season.

Yanks win.  Mets win.
Joba Chamberlain got carjacked by Chase Utley and Ryan Howard, but managed to gut through 4 1/3 innings, giving up only those two earned runs.  Mama said there’d be days like this.  The bullpen took care of the rest.  Derek Jeter had a steal.  Johnny Damon got caught.  Hideki Matsui went yard and so did Cody Ransom.  Later on, Nick Swisher and Melky Cabrera piled on a couple more.  Yanks had twelve hits in total.
