    And again IMO they really need to rest Alex (3 for 36) Rodriquez. The long season is starting to take its toll on him. Rest him up now so he'll be okay down the stretch..

    Arod needs to get his swing figured out. He's a DH so I don't think this rest idea is going to do anything. It's not like he's out there everyday playing the field.

    Hope CC can slow down Twin bats. Sano reminds me of a
    young David Ortiz, an ex Twin who they gave up on and
    traded to Boston. OMG! I can't stand that pompous piece
    of shit..

    Bird gets his first RBI with a single to right. 1-0 Yankees.

    Like waiting on a bundle of dynamite, after one's pushed the trigger, and nothing goes off, altho' even the 1st A-Bomb took approximately a good 25 seconds longer than expected, before the blinding light, hit..........

    It would be a big shot in the arm or boost, to Bird, if he can drive in a run or both here.........

    What worries me is that Toronto's offense does what should be done against bad pitching. The Yankees need to get out of this funk.
