Finally get to watch baseball again! Cervelli gets b-day gift he did not want as Yanks lose S.T. game, 9-1.

By: Mike Sommer

Today’s game is on My 9, so I get to watch some spring training baseball (in between housecleaning and laundry). Yeah!

Our LV Yankee Fan club site on Facebook posts today’s lineup vs. Toronto:  Jeter-6, Granderson-8, Posada-2, Rodriguez-5, Winn-9, Gardner-7, Cervelli-DH, Miranda-3, Pena-4, Burnett-1.

Apparently Adeiny Hechevarria has now been cleared to be signed by any MLB club. The 21 year old SS that defected from Cuba is expected to be signed by the Yankees.

Update: Shaky outing for Burnett. 1 2/3, 2 R, 5 H, 1 walk. Thank goodness for batting helmets. Cervelli got a birthday present (24) that he didn’t want—a beanball. Looks like A.J. was trying to work on that new pitch—a changeup.

Update II: Cervelli is headed to the hospital with a concussion. Thank goodness spring training is in it’s early stages and thank goodness for batting helmets. He got conked pretty good. The reporter on My 9 says the stitches of the ball are imprinted on the helmet. Ouch.

Update III: Not a good outing for Albaladejo. Gives up a 3-run dinger. 5 R, 7 H, 1 walk in just 1/3 of an inning.  Boone Logan had looked decent, 2 scoreless.  

Recap: It got a bit boring, as the Yanks lost 9-1. Mark Melancon pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings, but Andrew Brackman gave up 2 runs in his one inning. Romulo Sanchez and Jason Hirsh each pitched a scoreless inning. The bats were quiet for some time. The Yanks only had one hit through the first five innings and just six for the game. Adam Lind had the 3-run HR off Albaladejo; J.P. Arencibia a 2-run shot off Brackman.

The Yanks fall to 1-3 for the spring so far.
