Andy Pettitte is back

The New York Yankees 4 @ Kansas City Royals 1

Yankees Report Card

Guys who did their jobs:

• Andy Pettitte, who was 100% dominating and focused. Looked like an ace.
• Robinson Cano, who looks 180 degrees better than last April
• Nick Swisher, still good
• Jorge Posada, showing no ill-effects of his shoulder injury
• Brian Bruney, with another 2K in an inning with 0BB
• Mariano Rivera, with Save #1

Guys who didn’t do their jobs:

• Godzilla, Hideki Matsui doesn’t seem to be comfortable at the plate

How the Yankees won: Strong starting pitching by Andy, lights out bullpen, and clutch hits by Robinson Cano, Jorge Posada, and Nick Swisher.

DailySkew Free Pass ™: Given to manager Joe Girardi, who is now one of the guys, and is keeping things pressure free for the players, and allowing Nick Swisher to be the team joker to loosen everyone up.
