Alex Rodriguez just hit his 53rd home run of the season, a grand slam that hit off the second catwalk here. I'm not sure how high that is, but it is waaaay up there. And there's a pretty good chance that winds up being the home run that clinches the Yankees' playoff berth. That would be fitting, given Alex's season.
It's 5-0 Yankees in the top of the 3rd.

Kat,
Thanks for the quick update but I think you forgot Ughawa is pitching when you said "there's a pretty good chance that winds up being the home run that clinches the Yankees' playoff berth". We need at least 10 more runs!
Shame on you KAT!!
You know damn well we're gonna need 17 before you see any champagne bubbles!! :-)
Igawa should have a For Sale Sign on his back. He shows no improvment from his minor league stretches.
I can't see any yankee future.
Does anybody else despise the shoddy effort put into this blog compared to Peter Abraham's LoHud Yankees Blog? Or even what this blog was before kobrien took over? It's really disappointing and sad.

WHO THE F%$K IS JORGE VALANDIA!!!!
Why does Torre still use Edwar Ramirez and Brian Bruney? they are worse than eric gagne, this team sickens me, i hope they lose the rest of the season and the tigers win the rest of the way.
Torre is getting old and doesn't know the difference between Britton and Bruney. Britton is the one that can pitch and Bruney isn't.
Bruney was NASTY last year!!
I can't figure him out. I remember he showed up very late last year as I remember and I was very excited to have him for a full year in 07...
Alas...
In the words of our dearly departed...
"I'm not too bright"
Hey congrats on winning the wildcard. Since it looks like you're going to win tonight being up 5-0. There's no possible way the Drays could come back against a great team like the Yankees.
What?....hold on.
...scratch that!
DRAYS RULE!!!!
This guy gloom has got to have an IQ of 0. What a total tool and extreme dumb ass
but a happy dumb ass....a very happy dumb ass!
What an embarrassment!
Tigers up!
Sox up!
Paps comes in to get 3rd out in 8th on 1 pitch!
That Godzilla! he's awesome!
I'd say it's the Devil Dogs!
Roidger done for the season?
Yeah and you disappear when the Yankees score. You cowardly fool. The divsion means nothing. Last time I checked those precious Red Sox can't seem to beat the Yankees lately. HA HA HA HA HA. You are pitiful.
Torre looks lik he is up to his old tricks. This game reminds me of Saturdays game. Torre put all the bullpen losers in and they almost blew that one. I am sure they will blow this one. Hey Joe how about you try to win the game instead of resting your arms. It is so Torre to try to rest the arms now after he has abused them all season. Now is when we need to clinch a playoff spot and then rest the arms. Joe you really are "Clueless Joe"!
Hughes I'm a Marine, please don't insult us by calling the Rays Devil Dogs.
By the way Britton sucks worse then Bruney! That fat loser!
Ortiz hits 2 run job!
7-1
Magical number 4
maybe even 3.
Are you still going for the title over there?
Doesn't seem like it. Oh I know we just need to get in.
You better stop worrying about Boston and start worrying about Detroit!
It's not over yet!!!!!!
Sounds like you might have a bad case of TB?
Isn't typical of a Red Sux loser to waste their own time and come on this blog. This guy was probably one of those geeks who waited on line for Halo 3. Get a life buddy! Loser!
RS fans are sad little people. We will get in. The division means nothing. Ask all the Wild Card WS winners dumb asses.
Watching the Rays broadcasters. Remember when Dwayne Staats was a Yankee announcer?
Oakland's walked 10.
Looks like their making their golfing plans in the dugout for October.
No help there!
$200 Million payroll being embarassed by a 24 million dollar payroll down at the Trop.
Sox win! Magical number 4
The game is tied. Where oh where is gloom? Oh wait the fool is waiting for the Rays to score. It might happen, but maybe not. But that seems to be the only time we can hear his "enlightenment". Pathetic.
Hey ignorant RS fans take your magical number and shove it!! The division MEANS NOTHING.ZERO. ZILCH. It did us no good since 2000. Twits. How many WS did the Braves win with their division titles?? 1. Give it up. You feel stupider by listening to a RS fan.
Michael Chairman Mao, our dear baseball leader ...
I like Bruney too ...
He was great last year.
You just never know ...
Jeremy Sowers, Loewen, Liriano ... guys get hurt.
Ankiel was great, now he is floundering over HGH ...
You're up like the W Sox and Astros a few years ago and then you are down.
I saw The Departed BTW at the Moolah. They have couches and drinks!
Secret Agent Yankee reporting from behind enemy lines for an update given to the Evil Empire:
Schill looks GREAT!
Gagne gett'in it together.
Manny's back
Youk's back
All equals one in the win column.
Red Sox are back and getting HOT at the right time!
Yankees....not so much.
That Al Reyes! What a GREAT pitcher?
Betemit: Great pickup!!!!!!
Since most Yankee fans have vanished here. I have one thing to say to RS fans. Suck it! I mean really give me a break. Your team is so flawed also. Get a grip.
Hey Gloom, bet you are just waiting for a Rays score. Aren't you? That is the only way you will post, isn't it??? If the Yankees win---nothing from you I know for sure. If the rays score, you will post. You are seriously friggin pathetic.
Come on Gloom Come on . The Yankees lost. Now post. You Friggin piece of crap.
Championship caliber teams don't blow a 5-0 lead and then lose!
How demoralizing........:(
If George was alive someone's head would roll
RS Update,
Go phuck yourself scumbag!
Not only are they the Devil Dogs, but they're the last place Devil Dogs and their gonna sweep at the Trop!!!!!!
Keep telling yourself the title means nothing if it makes you feel better!
Hey Anal brain Devil Dog,
Go tell yourself winning the division is great if it makes YOU feel better.
You pathetic piece of $hit!
Throwing "Devil Dogs" around is disrespectful to those who served.
Hey JACKASS who used the Devil Dogs name. I AM A DEVIL DOG. USMC PROUD!!!! BE A DUMBASS RED SOX FAN BUT DO NOT TAKE OUR NICKNAME IN VAIN YOU JACKASS!! ME AND MY BROTHERS IN THE CORPS EARNED THAT!!!!! GOT IT!!!
And I have fellow devil dogs who are Red Sox fans who would be pissed for that use of our name. Don't disrespect that CLOWN
Michael, it is a huge disrespect. Talking smack about baseball is fine, but when they drag our name in the mud, I get pissed.
And there is nothing better than a Red Sox Fan and A Yankee fan covering eachothers asses in a firefight. Maybe that will put something in perspective for some who don't know what it is to be a devil dog. I hate the Sox, but Semper Fi to my Red Sox brothers in arms who stood by me.
Semper fi
