Yep.

[jon abbey]

Another rematch from last week, a game NY won 3-2 on a 2 run HR by Granderson.

NY's 10 wins in a row ties the longest streak of the Jeter/Pettitte/Rivera era (including 1998, amazingly enough). The last time they won 11 in a row was 1985, and guys like John Candelaria, Dave Righetti, Ed Whitson, Phil Niekro and Rob Guidry all got Ws along the way.

Swisher's back, Martin back behind the plate, A-Rod DHing again:

Derek Jeter SS
Curtis Granderson CF
Alex Rodriguez DH
Robinson Cano 2B
Mark Teixeira 1B
Raul Ibanez LF
Nick Swisher RF
Eric Chavez 3B
Russell Martin C

Kuroda needed 10 pitches to get thru the first. Hudson up to 19 with 2 outs.

[jon abbey]

Great leadoff AB by Jeter, 10 pitch walk.

[jon abbey]

Welcome back, Nick Swisher. Great take on the pitch right before his double, a tough 2-2 pitch that broke below the zone.

[jon abbey]

Through 3, Hudson at 53 pitches, Kuroda at 31.

Hard not to like Chipper Jones.

[terrynever]

Saved a run there as Grandy guns down Heyward at third for the third out before Chipper crosses home. Yanks are making all the smart plays. I imagine it will end some day.

Chipper's reflexes not so good anymore. Tie game on an E5 after a E3 got things rolling here in the fourth.

[terrynever]

Hudson had to throw 40 pitches in the fourth, thanks to 2 errors by his infielders. He's at 91 pitches thru 4.

That's two at bats in a row where Cano has swung at the first pitch.

Hudson is on the ropes with his pitch count, why not make him work?

Cano has a 1.213 OPS coming into tonight when he puts the first pitch into play, 4 HRs in 45 ABs, you should probably let him decide when to swing.

[jon abbey]

Too much pitching around guys by Kuroda these last few innings, it hurt him in the 4th.

[jon abbey]

And it hurt him again here, that was a bullet.

[jon abbey]

This isn't something you see too often:

"Jason Heyward singles on a sharp ground ball to shortstop Derek Jeter, deflected by first baseman Mark Teixeira."

And no, Jeter wasn't shifted, Heyward hit it that hard.

[jon abbey]

Kuroda needs one more out to keep NY's streak of SPs going at least 6 innings going, this would be the 18th in a row.

[terrynever]

The 1939 Yankees would win a game like this one. 5 o'clock lightning at 10 p.m.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Venters about to blow another.

[terrynever]

The 2009 Yankees would eat pie tonight.

[terrynever]

Can't win 'em all.

[jon abbey]

Longest run of the Yankee game thread era, and we somehow did it without rembrat.

[jon abbey]

1 PM start, mid-90s temperatures. Whoever starts the next game thread, please stay hydrated.

[jon abbey]

Lineup is up, someone start a new thread.
