Ugly

No other words can describe it, that was bad. However, looking at the boxscore I did see a few positives from last night.

**Despite the bad performance from IPK, the three young pitchers that came after him did well ... Albaladejo went two and two-thirds innings, giving up one hit and striking out four, but he did give up an inherited run ... Ohlendorf did not give up a run in one inning ... Traber gave up one hit in one inning, which for the most part kept the Yankees in the game at 6-4.

**But, LaTroy Hawkins gave up six runs on six hits in just two-third of an inning ... and Kyle Farnsworth gave up one run on three hits in an inning and a third.

**Also looking at the good side of things, Giambi finally got a hit, after going 0-for-8 in the first three games of the season ... And Matsui hit his first homerun of the season.

**Abreu, appears to be starting the season on a hot streak, as he went 1-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI ... Through the first four games of the season he is batting .462 (6-for-13).

**Peter Abraham of the Journal News has a few more tidbits.

**Here are some notes on the Triple-A team.

**It'll be Pettitte vs. Jackson today at the Stadium, for a 1:05 start
