Nice hustle by Ruf for that fly ball. The youngster is demonstrating that if the Yankees trade for Lee, they should add Howard to the deal. And then he and Diekman just screwed up that play at first.
Freakin' Diekman holds on and we get the win at 9-5. We have a two-game winning streak working and onward we go tomorrow for more action against the Snakes from Arizona.
not really a pretty game, against a bad opponent but I have to say the offense is at least tolerable when you have Ruiz, Ruf, Utley in there. They actually no how to give the pitcher tough at bats and they get on base. As a fan I just want to see them get the offense straightened out for now. I know they are not winning anything this year but at least that makes the games watchable.
