10 Things

Busy week at the gig, both with work, and with all the stupid shit that it entails ... So with that it took away from the D-b-D ... However, I have been keeping notes and looking out for some stuff ... So here goes as it's an ole fashion pitcher's dual going on in Fenway.

**Bruney and Traber have been solid not allowing a run.

**They just gave ARod and error, I thought it was a hit, but it was a tough play, so CMW still has the no-no going, as he'll head into the fifth.

**Just learned that Posada has 14 homeruns at Fenway Park.

**Peter Abraham had these notes following the Royals series.
A-Rod now has 1,508 RBI, passing Mickey Mantle for 46th place all-time. He has 520 home runs, one short of tying Willie McCovey and Ted Williams for 15th place.

Andy Pettitte has 165 wins as a Yankees, passing Mel Stottlemyre for sixth place in team history. “My old friend,” Pettitte said. “That makes me feel good.”

The three home runs tonight were half as many as they had over the first nine games of the season. The 12 hits tonight were a season high.

**The injuries to the Yankees haven't been limited to the big club, as Alan Horn hurt his bicep the other day ... It shouldn't be too much of a setback though, and it could have been much worse.

**Around the horn, saw this on Jayson Stark's blog on ESPN:
Prince Fielder has zero home runs.
Jose Reyes has zero stolen bases.
Magglio Ordonez has zero RBIs.
• And Carl Crawford has zero extra-base hits.

**Yankees.com had these notes: The Yankees are 21-2 when Joba Chamberlian appears ... The Yankees hit back-to-back homeruns on Thursday for the first time since Jason Giambi and Robinson Cano did it at Boston on Sept. 14, 2007 ... Manny Ramirez is 13-for-22 with two homeruns and five RBI against Wang.
