PLAYER OF THE GAME: Joba Chamberlain. Joba’s performance speaks for itself. Mike Francesa will need to find something else to talk about for six hours tomorrow.

PLAY OF THE GAME: Joba’s diving catch and double play on Kelly Shoppach’s failed bunt attempt helped shut down an Indians rally. That play turned a two-on, no one out situation into a man on first with two outs.

TURNING POINT: Nick Swisher’s two-run double in the seventh gave the Yankees the lead, and Joba took care of the rest.

NOTES:
The Yankees set the record for errorless games with 18 by going without an error tonight.
Joba Chamberlain set a career high for innings pitched tonight. His previous high was 7 IP.
Derek Jeter extended his hitting streak to 15 games, while Mark Teixeira extended his to 14 games.
The Yankees finished this road trip at 5-2 and have won 6 of their last 7 series.

TOMORROW:
Rangers vs. Yankees 7:05 P.M Yankee Stadium
A.J. Burnett vs. Vincente Padilla

MICHAEL KAY QUOTE OF THE NIGHT:

(speaking of Wally Pipp)
“Wally Pipp lost his job to Lou Gehrig because he sat out a game with a headache. That’s why I never sit out with headaches, you never know who’s waiting.”

On the night that we launch a blog called Michael Kay’s Successors, Michael Kay says this. Yeah, it’s destiny.

See Ya!
