Yankees lead 3-2 has Mark Teixeira hit a go-ahead 2-run homer in the 3rd. Joba Chamberlain has thrown 74 pitches through 3 innings.
Update 8:26: Little humor from Peter Abraham:
"Update, 6:14 p.m.: Mark Teixeira was fired up today. It seems the Red Sox owner John Henry has a Twitter account and last night wrote 'The MT curse?' when the Yankees lost. Boston is still steamed, apparently, that Tex signed with the Yankees."
'How old is Mr. Henry?' Tex said, who said he didn't want to get into it with a '70-something-year-old man about baseball. ... I think it's a little silly. It's actually very silly.'
Henry is actually 59, which makes Tex's comment even funnier. Of course he looks about 80."
Followed by:
"Update, 8:20 p.m.: New Tex hitting approach: Picture face of John Henry on ball, smack hard."
Good stuff, Pete. Good stuff.
Update 8:33: Joba has 5 walks in 3.2 innings... 98 pitches.
Update 8:44: Brett Tomko in for Chamberlain.
Bad News for Chamberlain: 5 walks, 2 HBP, and 100 pitches thrown (only 52 for strikes)
Good News for Chaberlain: He only gave up one hit.
Update 8:51: I thought relievers where supposed to "hold" the game... Tomko gives up a 2-run double to Ryan Church.
Update 8:54: 6-3 as Gary Sheffield homers.
Update 9:00: My boy, Dave Robertson's in.
