Let’s rewind back to Friday night. With the game tied 5-5 in the top of the 12th, Chad Moeller led off […]
Soldiering On: Sabathia Takes Tampa by Storm, but Yankees Lose Another Battle As Girardi Adopts Bunker Mentality

Joe Girardi said he “felt like we had to stay away from some guys tonight”. Dave Eiland, apparently being a good soldier, stated in a matter of fact manner, “sometimes you lose the battle to win the war”.
