When it rains it pours.
Phil Hughes started strong but a rain delay sabotaged his night and Ross Ohlendorf and Joba Chamberalin couldn't get the job done as the
White Sox squeaked past the Yanks 7-6 on a rainy night in Chicago. The Bombers blew a 3-0 lead in this one, but battled back to knot the score at 6-6 in the seventh on Morgan Ensberg's RBI-single only to have Joe Crede drive in the winning run with a base hit to center in the ninth.
And I'm getting old. Two rain delays for a game that was supposed to start at 8:00 were too much for me. I lasted until the fifth before my eyes betrayed me. So, no roundup. I would normally be furious at myself, but I'm just too gosh-darn tired. Once again, Brian was more man than me and you can check out his recap
here.
I did, however, catch the troubling injury report.
A-Rod is looking to avoid the disabled list, but reliever
Brian Bruney may not be so lucky. And
Kyle Farnsworth felt a twinge in his right elbow after he slipped throwing his last pitch.
The Yanks head to Cleveland to take on the Indians in a wraparound four game set starting Friday night. Andy Pettitte (3-1) will go against Paul Byrd (0-2). Pettitte has won three starts in a row and owns a dynamite 1.74 ERA on the road. Byrd started slowly, lasting a total of 7 1/3 innings in his first two starts, but has given up only one earned run in his last two outings.
Let's see if I make it through this one.

I know you didn't make it to the end of this one, but I have to ask you something. Now I'm not getting on Joba in the least. He's been WAY too good for that. However, I have a question for all those who KNOW he'll be a great starter. Why is it that he seems to lose a little when he's in his second inning of work?
