Game of the Day

They were down and out. They weren't hitting. Their pitching was weak. They were overrated, overpaid and just plain evil. And at the bottom of their weakness, they had to face Oakland's three aces.

Well guess what. The Yankees slump seems to be over. Jose Contreras pitched a good game last night. And today, the consistently good Kevin Brown faces Barry Zito, coming off a very rough outing against Anaheim. Zito gave up 9 runs in four innings to the Angels on the 23rd.

Jeter remains in his slump, but that's okay. The Yankees can survive with one of their great hitters in a slump. A-Rod, Giambi and Sheffield are all hitting better, to go along with the continued good performance of Posada. That gives them plenty of offense for most situations. Meanwhile, the A's have been outscored by their opponents, which does not bode well for them if that keeps up long term.

Enjoy!
