Yanks Lose Again

The Yankees lost 13-11 to the Reds today in Sarasota. It was not a day for the pitchers. Brett Gardner continued his quest for the CF job with 2 more hits, Jeter went 3-3, Tex had 2 hits and Arod had a couple of doubles. None of the Yankees pitchers are worth talking about as they all got hit around, Mark Melancon gave up a run in 1 inning but it was on a passed ball and had 2ks so i guess he did the best job. Alfredo Aceves got knocked around as well as Marte,Abaladejo,Bruney,Cox. A couple of notes from the game Jesus Montero left with a strained groin but it doesn't seem to be serious but because he is their #2 prospect and is so young im sure they will bring him along slowly. Abaladejo left when he got hit on the leg by a ball, it is just a bruise and he will be day to day. Arod met with reporters after the game and only took baseball questions then he left with Cano and Tex headed back to Tampa. He will meet with MLB investigators tonight in Tampa and then he will be in Jupiter at some point tonight to join the Dominican team tomorrow, so the Yankees and PR man Jason Zillo will get a break for a little while. A couple other notes via Peter Abraham of the Journal News and http://yankees.lhblogs.com CC simulated game was canceled today because of weather and it will be tomorrow instead. Jorge was feeling better today and could DH tomorrow or if not then Tuesday. Jason Johnson was cleared to start throwing outside and will have a 35 pitch bullpen tomorrow. This is a good story as he comes back from retinal cancer, i hope he hooks on with someone if not the Yankees. Kanekoa Texiera has the flu. The Yankees will play at Houston tomorrow in Kissimee. I am sure we will hear more later on the Arod meeting but that may be all the blogging I do with the Yankees for today.
