April has been far from cruel for the Yanks so far. They won again last night, this time beating the White Sox, 7-4. Jordan Montgomery was solid again, and a pair of 3-run home runs (Matt Holliday, Aaron Judge) did the trick.
Happy?

Good start, Sevvy
Crap. At least it only counts for one
Missed the beginning, and probably can't watch much at all this evening.
But I believe the bats will come alive. Soon, please?
Sevvy pitching well. Too early to mention we're being no hit
I'll be happy with another solid Severino start .... so far, so good.
There ya go. Still being shut out though
No no-no!
Tried to make me go all hitless, I said "No no-no"
Oh, come on. E6.
Thank you very much for the out.
Idiots. Morons. Completely deserved that.
Thank you, mighty clean up hitter
Aw shit
Oh well.
There goes the streak, huh?
That was one of the worst E6 gaffes I've seen. Fuck!
9 more outs y'all.
I'm sorry, but why is this team wasting a minute playing Pete Kozma?
Well, that sucked a big fat Kozma ...
Good job, me. Need base cloggers
[17] His impeccable defense. Sigh.
Sigh
Only 69 pitches by Gonzalez? He's gonna get a Maddux at this rate.
So technically Romine could have let that sac bunt pop up drop and started an easy 2-5-4 double play. That would be quite bush league, however.
Severino holding his velocity late into the game, which is good.
[23] Infield Fly Rule, I believe. No?
[25] No, because . . . ?
I have no idea.
Did Michael or Al explain something and I missed it? I stopped listening to them.
Oh, maybe the home plate ump didn't declare it?
They discussed it, but no real explanation
Wow, he gone!
The booth said earlier that a catcher catching a pop up with runners on base could not be declared an infield fly. Where's Cone when we need him?
Little bingo!
Hmmmm ... don't want Hammer Time!
I think they said a bunt couldn't be called an infield fly? I'm not sure
Grrr
Oh, huh, that's true. I just looked at the official rule and it does say "except for a bunt".
Got away with one there
Exciting.
Rats
Ah, well.
It was exciting.
Night all
I got to see a large part of the game, anyway! Didn't expect to.
We may not see another 8 game win streak for a few years. That was fun while it lasted. Gary and Didi will be warming up just in time for Memorial Day.
It's hard to complain after eight straight wins. Severino looking good is a real plus for the season if it holds.
[9] Brilliant!
Why the hell wasn't Headley playing? Perhaps Clueless Joe figured he was too hot and needed to cool him down. Grrr.
Well, if there's any bright spot beside Severino's excellent outing, it's that maybe we won't have to hear Stuttering Leiter for a while....or ever again.
