El Capitan always giving his all with his patented jump throw!


Mark Ellis is showing us that he wants to be a contender for a Gold Glove with a nice jump throw deep in the hole to gun down the runner.


Jolly Old St. Nick with a little victory jump after hitting his first home run on the season!

Trailing late, Yankees rally to defeat Athletics.

Under the bright lights on the road in Oakland, the Yankees won easily over the Athletics, 7-1. Alex Rodriguez provided the offense, getting a pair of hits -- including a solo home run -- in 5 at-bats. Phil Hughes allowed 5 hits and 1 run over 6 and a third innings, and the bullpen was able to close the door to seal his 1st win of the season. A-Rod, discussing the game, said, "It's hard to be on the winning end of a game like this sometimes, but not as hard as it is to be on the losing end."

Today the series wraps up at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, and the Yankees -- behind their ace, C.C. Sabathia (3-0, 0.84), who squares off with the Athletics' Justin Duchscherer (0-2, 3.38) -- look to finish off the sweep.
