Results: Yankees vs. USF Bulls @ Steinbrenner Field, Tampa, FL



Here are your results from the Yankees' first exhibition game from today.
                                                          __________

Final Score- Yankees 11, USF Bulls 4

Here are a few lines, stats for these games versus college teams are not easy to find, I managed to salvage this:

Joba Chamberlain: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 22 pitches/15 strikes
Ian Kennedy:           2 IP, 1 H, 2 K
Jorge Posada:         3B, 2B, 3 RBI

On a lower, yet obvious note, Kei Igawa was the only struggler for the Yanks here today, here's what went down for old Kei.
He comes into the game in the 6th with a 9-0 lead, he got an out, then on 5 pitches walked the 9th hitter of a college lineup.  He then walked another batter and hit another, bases are now loaded, 2 outs.  His sinker didn't sink to PH Eric Baumann and knocked it out for a granny.  Not to mention, Baumann missed all of the 2006 and 2007 seasons with a shoulder injury.
Hey Cashman, you're a smart guy, but I gotta know, it's been a burning question of mine for some time now, what were you thinking when you coughed up all that dough for this?
Get back to me when you can, Brian.

Barring any report, that should be it for the night.
