G.A. a Heck of a day. Figgins?

Ok, Ok, Garret Anderson had one of the best nights of his career statistically, and the bad part for the Yankees is it could of been a bit better. He was only 4 for 6. He left two runners stranded on base and looking at him with total disbelief. How could he do that!

That was only one of many not so kind thoughts that went through their minds as they had to make the long trek back to the dugout after Anderson’s horrible attempt at a single ended up in the shortstop's glove.

I heard from a reliable source that the a hit man was called after that incident. Not really - I had to have some fun. I just finished reading from five different publications on the same things. Little did they say that while Anderson was hitting the heck out of the ball last night it was not until the sixth inning when Anderson hit the Grand slam that the fans started to breath easier.

Going into the top of the third inning we were all thinking that we had this game in the bag. Escobar was pitching and we had a six run lead. But after Kelvim walked the first two batters (something he has not done in a very long time) Jeter singled and Abreu doubled to deep center. Molina and Cabrera scored and we all were thinking oh shit. Not this, could we lose after ripping Mussina for all those runs? After two more Yankee runs scored, we were now only up by two! Scared.

Then, after we had batted around and scored five more runs in the second, we did it again in the third. Sure it was against pitchers who should not even be in the majors except that the Yankees were unable to get quality relief help this year with trades. A Little breathing room was granted until GA finally put the game in the fridge.

Anderson's power surge was not the biggest news for the night, it was the substitution that occurred in the fourth inning when Robb Quinlan came out to play third base in place of Chone Figgins. Figgins will have his wrist (which is listed as a sprain) evaluated today and is said to be day to day. Angels pitcher Marc Gwyn who got the three inning save last night was optioned back to AAA Salt Lake and Brandon Wood was called up to help out in the absence of Figgins.
