History doesn't repeat itself on June 11 as the Yanks beat Houston 4-3


The Yankees disposed of the Astros 4-3 in what was easily the fastest game I've ever been to -- as Mariano Rivera threw the last pitch of the night to ring up Jason Michaels, the clock barely struck 9:30pm. A Yankee game that was over before 10pm? Suzyn, you can't predict baseball!

The Yankees went to work early on Brett Myers, scoring three runs in the first -- thankfully ensuring they wouldn't get no-hit by Houston again -- and it's a good thing they did because they could barely touch him for the remainder of the game. Barely anything else at this game stood out to me, primarily because we were celebrating my buddy Dave's bachelor party so I was certainly more sauced than usual at the Stadium.

In pitching 7 1/3 innings of two-earned-run ball, Pettitte picked up his 200th win as a Yankee and managed to lower his ERA by 0.01.

And in more good news, apparently Alex Rodriguez's hip injury isn't terribly serious, and it sounds like he'll return to the lineup no later than Tuesday against Philadelphia.

And in even more good news, the Yankees are now only one game out of first place after the Rays got demolished by the Marlins! Wahoo!
