Good morning all.  Yankees got a loss last night but doesn’t look so bad after 10 wins in a row.  They did have several chances to win the game last night which did make it hard but oh well.   Today is a day game starting at 1:05.  Hanson vs. Hughes.

Enjoy the game and the day.   Now let’s get to the links…..

– Cashman had a lot of interesting things to say in a radio interview yesterday about Soriano and the trade deadline.  Johnette Howard from ESPNNY has all the details.

– Wallace Matthews of ESPNNY reports that Swisher was 2-2 with RISP while the rest of the Yankees were a dreadful 0-9.

– Hughes looks to stay hot in the rubber game match today reports Teddy Cahill of MLB.com.

– Steven Miller of MLB.com reports that Pineda visited with the Yankees and is progressing with his rehab.

– The other day Aardsma tossed a scoreless inning in his first rehab start. I said it before and I will say it again that that signing could be huge for the Yankees.

– Bob Raissman of The New York Daily News writes that Yankees broadcaster Suzyn Waldman is standing by Roger Clemens.

– Staten Island Yankees took the loss last night 4-1.

– Gulf Coast Yankees lost as well 5-4.  Slade Heathcott (who you can read our interview with him from earlier this year right here)  went 2-2 with 2 doubles and an RBI.   I really hope he can finish strong with a healthy rest of the year.

– Tampa Yankees won 4-2. JR Murphy had 2 hits (double, 2-Run homer).  Rob Segedin and Kyle Roller each had a pair of hits as well.

– Trenton won 3-2. Luke Murton had 3 hits one which was a solo homer.  Mikey O’Brien went 6 strong innings only giving up one run.

– Empire State Yankees lost 4-2.  Only 4 hits for the team.  One of which was by Ronnier Mustelier who is batting .316.
