Nuthin but a Homer
Four home runs were hit in today's festivities as the Yankees take two of three games in the series. Swisher went for #12 which is half of his 2008 totals. Teixeira's 18th bomb moves him ahead of his Rays counterpart Carlos Pena and Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz for tops in the AL. Only Adrian Gonzalez (also a 1B) has more with 22.
Pettitte was his typical self and earning the win with former starter Phil Hughes putting in a perfect inning of relief work.
Rivera earns save number 14, only one behind Brian Fuentes of the Angels.
Boston was idle today putting the Yankees a full game ahead with a crucial three-game series starting tomorrow. June? Crucial? Yes. The Yankees can handle the other three teams in teh East, but are a dismal 0-5 against the Sox this season. Four more losses and they lose the East if they tie with Boston.

Aqua Teen in New York?

We have all heard of the bomb scare in Boston about a marketing ploy involving the Adult Swim hit show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force".
Two advertisers were arrested for setting up placards of two characters named Ignignokt and Err, both Mooninites, around the city advertising the show, only to have it backfire on them.
Boston locals were not amused by the placards calling them in as suspicious packages and causing a scare. Local police and bomb crew immediately took care of the placards and restored peace.
Now you can find t-shirts of these characters poking fun of Boston and what you could call "pay back" for removing the placards.
Rest assure that these shirts will find their way to Yankee Stadium when the Red Sox are in town and eventually sold in New York stores state wide.
