Jorge says safe, but the umpire surely did not agree!


Fair or Foul? A.J. Pierzynski was wondering the exact same thing!

New York drops one to Chicago and their always solid right-hander Freddy Garcia.

It could have been worse for New York - but not much worse - as the club suffered a HUMILIATING 14-4 loss to Chicago in front of 50,435 fans at Yankee Stadium yesterday. Giving the offense a boost was Alex Rodriguez, who went 2-for-3 with a solo home run.

Javier Vazquez (1-2) was roughed up in defeat, as he only pitched 3 innings, giving up 4 runs on 7 hits.

Big Gun C.C. Sabathia (3-1, 3.27) will get the nod for the Yankees tonight at Yankee Stadium as the club begins a series with the Orioles, while Kevin Millwood (2-1, 4.13) gets the tough assignment for Baltimore.

Nick Markakis hopes to add to his 11-game hitting streak.
