Yanks/Angels recap

The Yankees looked half asleep today at least offensively, you can tell CC is starting to get frustrated as the Yankees are 2-4 in his games and the last 2 games he has pitched pretty well with nothing to show for it. He was cruising along today and had a 1-0 lead early but the Yankees couldn't do anything off of Matt Palmer who is a 30 yr old rookie which says it all right there. This is what gets me about the Yankees offense, they have a bunch of great games where they score a ton of runs and it makes them look better then they are, I still think Kevin Long is terrible and needs to go. A-rod coming back will help them but they have too many days where they are facing guys like today and can't do anything with them. CC is showing signs of improvement, he really hasn't pitched bad at all his last two times out but he still isn't getting the wins and not dominating like he can. The Yankees will try to win the series tomorrow with Phil Hughes on the mound trying to have his 2nd good start in a row. The way the bullpen is going if he keeps pitching well the Joba to the pen talk is going to heat up again. Chien-Ming Wang pitched 4 hitless innings in extended spring training and they thought he looked good, he will be pitching every fifth day and they will give him at least a couple more starts before they see if they are going to bring him back. A-rod looks ready to come back by Friday when the Yankees go on the road but we will see.
