Yankees news: Teixeira’s hot, Lilly, September call-ups

A few Yankees stories broke last night. Let’s jump right in:

  • Mark Teixeira cranked his 30th homer last night, a three-run bomb to right, to lead the Yankees to a 9-3 win and sole possession of first place. Tex is five for his last six with two homers, four RBIs and five runs scored.
  • The Yankees won the claim on Ted Lilly last night, the final time for waiver trades to be completed, but the Dodgers pulled him back. This makes you wonder how confident Brian Cashman is in the staff. If I’m in his position, I’m looking to nab Lilly too. A.J. Burnett surely is feeling the pressure.
  • Via The Journal News, the first three Yankees’ September call-ups are Greg Golson, Chad Moeller and Jonathan Albaladejo (unofficially).

yankees need a pitcher bad, even if we call up another minor leager, this staff stinks and is overpaid on top of it. cc and andy are the only one pitching like a yankee. with a payroll such as the yankees how in th world do we end every year with doubts about our staff maybe they will learn next year pitching pitching pitching and more pitching when you think you have enough.....another post season putting major pressure on the offense.
