WHY BUCK'S ON NOTICE

Tonight's game wasn't about beating the Orioles as much as it was about beating Buck Showalter. Ever since he ticked off Yankeeland with his comments attacking our Captain, it wasn't so much about the rivalry between the evil Red Sox as much as it was beating Buck. And I mean beating Buck hard. Tonight, thanks to Alex and CC, we did that, and Mr. Showalter is officially on notice.

CC Sabathia was superb and there is no other way of putting it. He was on a mission tonight, to get win number 1 and he did. CC Monster looked like the ace we love and worship and was pitching a beautiful shutout until the 7th. Just brilliant CC, thank you. It was a terrific win tonight by the Yankees. Full Story HERE.

Talk about bats on fire tonight., holy crap! Russell Martin looked amazing, 2 more home runs and what can you say about this kid, huh? Cashman looks like a genius right now with this guy behind the dish and the bat is really working for him, isn't it? Could Martin be the diamond in the rough like Swisher was in 2009? We will see.(photo: Getty)
Six RBI's for Alex Rodriguez and that Grand Slam was just a wonderful shot. The 22nd Grand Slam of his career. That's epic. It was at that moment, I looked at my son and said "Do you think he's healthy?" He just smiled back. The guy's on his way to an MVP year and we all welcome it.

Brett Gardner did something rare tonight, he hit, and not only that,he hit a double and a home run. I'd say Kevin Long got to Gardy, don't you think? It was a quote from Long that stayed with me from a few days ago. He spoke of how Gardner wasn't using his legs and lower body to drive the ball. Hmm, I'd say Gardy's driving the ball now Long. Thank you for helping.

Even Jorge hit another home run. He has 6 homers on the year... 9 hits total. There's something weird happening.

It was a rout tonight wasn't it? Look, you know tonight was just another game to some on the Yankees, but to others, it was about doing damage. You can't sit there and tell me that players on the Yankee bench weren't and aren't annoyed by Buck Showalter right now. They were and they are and they will continue to try and pummel this Orioles team as much as they can because let's face it, Buck Showalter spoke out of school and the New York Yankees will take advantage of that kind of behavior all day long and if it means coming into Buck's house to do it... so be it.

Final Score tonight, Yankees 15 - Orioles 3.

Happy Easter everyone. Freddy Garcia rises on Easter Sunday tomorrow to try to get his 2th win. 1:35pm game, weather permitting. Let's all say a prayer in church that we're able to play ball and win the series. I know I will.
