CRUSHING BREWS

Freddy Garcia looked real good tonight and the offense continued to click, especially Nick Swisher and Mark Teixeira as they didn't give up one moment.

Freddy went 6 innings, gave up 8 hits and only 2 runs. He now has 7 wins. Congrats Freddy. Where's my buddy Carlos who was worried? Are you reading this buddy? We'll make you a believer yet.

For the most part, you have to really think back to the winter when everyone was freaking out about Cliff Lee going with the Phillies and all of New York was standing there like we were alone and naked. Well, Cashman had a plan, it wasn't great, but it was smart. Signing Freddy Garcia and Bartolo Colon cheap could very well be the greatest steals of the winter. The talent was there, we just needed to take a chance and did.

The Yankees killed Zack Greinke early like I knew they would. He went only 2 innings and gave up 7 runs. Pathetic but delightful if you are from the Bronx.(Photo: Getty)
Again, Mark Teixeira had a homer and 4 RBIs tonight. He's powering up again which means Grandy needs to get back into the home run race too. It was fun a few weeks ago between those two and then things slowed down. Well, Tex wants to read about himself in BYB because he's homering again and I love it.

Nick Swisher hit his 10th homer and an RBI double tonight, going 2-4 but the most important play for me was him chucking it into home plate to nail hairy Corey Hart at home. That kind of play is usually overshadowed by great offense, but not tonight, it was beautiful.(Photo: AP)
Granderson had a nice triple tonight and he continues to just be a lightening rod for the Yankees. He's finally found a home in New York and you have to love this guy. He's a leader.

Final Score: Yankees 12 - Brewers 2

Next game is AJ Burnett against Shawn Marcum. Marcum is 7-2 with a 2.95 ERA so it won't be easy, but I know the Yanks will play hard. They've now won 9 of 13 games against National League teams this year. Not too shabby.
