Bottom 5th

Morneau, Hunter, and Kubel due up. Pavano at 45 pitches through 4.

I must say, Pavano is missing here and there, but he is pitching to contact and he is locating his curve, something that hasnt happened with any of our pitchers thus far. It will be interesting to see how far Joe lets him go, but I'd give him enough rope to hang himself with.

Morneau to the dish. First pitch sinker, misses away 1-0. FIRST PITCH STRIKES PLEASE!!!!. Pavano gets Morneau to sky out to Jeter. 1 down

1 down, nobody on, Hunter to the dish. First pitch sinker, misses inside. 4 seamer up and Hunter cannot catch up to the 91mph. 1-1. Pavano nearly gets decapitated, Hunter singles up the middle.

Hunter on first, 1 down, Kubel to the dish. NASTY sinker, somehow called a ball. 1-0. Pavano pretends he has a good move. STOP TRYING TO GET THE RUNNER, GET THE HITTER CARLA, JEEZ!!! Carla misses high, 2-0. Wake up Carl, who cares about Hunter at 1st. Kubel fouls a high FB off. 2-1. His 4 seamer has some tilt to it, interesting. Hunter takes 2nd on a ball, Posada with a poor throw. Hunter would have been dead by a mile with a good throw. 3-1 to Kubel, Hunter on 2nd. Kubel nearly de-balls Pussano with an RBI single up the middle. Yankees lead 5-1 now.

Kubel on 1st, 1 down, Redmond to the dish. GET THE GROUNDER CARLA!!! First pitch swinging to Jeter, 6-3 DP, end of the inning.

1 run, 2 hits, nobody left on base. End of the 5th, Yankees lead 5-1
