Rain Rain Rain
It has been raining all day in New York and the game was cancelled with no make-up date yet. Boston lost to the Rangers so now the Yankees sit alone in first place by a half game.

Hard Baseball and Posada Throws it Away (Literally)
The error free streak is ovah! Jorge Posada, in an attempt to throw out a base runner, threw wildly at Robinson Cano who missed the ball and let it trickle to the outfield scoring the first E in 18 games.
The error was meaningless as the Yankees put a seven spot in the fourth with some hard baseball. First Teixeira was smacked in the ribs and given first base. A-Rod trickled a ball to the shortstop who in turn attempted to start a 6-4-3 double play. However, Tex came in hard to the second baseman taking him out on a CLEAN play and breaking up the double play. Beautiful take out slide too if I might add.
In the Rangers top half, AJ Burnett threw one at the head of Nelson Cruz (who had homered earlier in the game). Burnett, the Rangers, and the Yankees were warned and no more rough and tough ball was played.
I love how the code plays out in baseball, but still, never throw at the head.
Sox and Jays win as well. Lead is still one game in the East...Yankees have the best record in the American League, second in the majors to Torre's Dodgers.

Division Leader
With a 3-1 win over the Cleveland Indians, the Yankees are in first place in the AL East for the first time since April 16 of last year.
With this win, Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte set the record for most saves by a reliever and starter combination with 58.
