Yankee Panky
Here are some notes from Yankeeland:
* Last night, Captain Derek Jeter reached the 200 hit mark for the fifth time in his career. This is also the 10th time in eleven years that he's scored 100+ runs.
* Robinson Cano had two hits, including his 40th double of the season. He is now hitting .340, higher than Jeter's .338, and only four points behind Minnesota's Joe Mauer, who is at .344. He's still a handful of at-bats short of qualifying, but he'll make it before the season ends. He may be the surprise batting champion.
* Melky Cabrera hit his 25th double and drove in his 50th run. He's hitting .285 with 73 runs scored.
* Chien-Ming Wang improved to 18-6 with his win, and is now 26-11 in his short career.
* Jorge Posada took a broken bat to the side of his head in the 9th inning, but stayed in the game. Makes me feel better about my job.
* Mariano Riviera made his first appearance since August 31st, and struck out the side in the 9th to earn his 34th save. He threw 21 pitches, 14 for strikes.
* Garry Sheffield made his first appearance as a firstbaseman. Flashed some leather, too, making a few good grabs on some low throws.
* Carl Pavano is still injured. He's shooting to return by the Old-Timers Game in 2022, in which he plans to start.

That is so funny!

DB - you forgot the A-Rod update.
Since he was the subject of a cover story titled "The Lonely Yankee" in Sports Illustrated last week, Rodriguez is 0-for-12. He popped up with the bases loaded to end the fifth inning yesterday, swinging at the first pitch. He is in a 4-for-28 slump as well.
I can feel Joe Buck pouring over the numbers as we speak..
