Cycle for Melky
Melky Cabrera, who was originally a back up outfielder before injuries fell to Xavier Nady has made Yankees history today. Becoming the first Yankee since Tony Fernandez in 1995, Melky Cabrera has hit for the cycle.
He hit a three-run home run in the second, a lead off double in the fourth, a run scoring single in the fifth, and the triple to finish it off in the ninth inning.
The Yankees avoided a four-game sweep to the White Sox and won the game 8-5.

Melky is Clutch, Burnett Sits
I did not see the game. Shame on me.

Boston won, Tampa won, Jays sinking faster than the Titanic. Still tied for first and once again the best team in the AL. Tough series next week against the Rays as Boston welcomes Texas.
Chein-Ming Wang made his second Yankees "debut" and it was the same stuff. Texas scores a few runs, Wang weeps. I don't get it. Before the injury last season Wang wa son pace for a career year. This year he is on pace for a not so career year...obviously.
A.J. Burnett has been suspended six games for throwing at Nelson Cruz. Understandable since he threw at his head and not his ribs like he was supposed to.

Yanks Quiet in Trade Talks
As of now the Yankees have remained somewhat quiet this trade season.
With interest in both first baseman Mark Texeria and closer Eric Gagne, the Yankees have not advanced further.
Texeria may remain with the Rangers as talks of trades with him have ceased and the Rangers are asking about pitches Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain, and outfielder Melky Cabrera.
Yankees brass refused to deal the three prospects and ended talks for both forementioned players.
Kyle Farnsworth may be on the move out of New York, but so far there have been no requests and Kei Igawa may be on the move, but with his recent failures, he may have trouble finding a new home.
