It took 12 grueling innings for the Yankees to send their fans home happy on July 4th, thanks to a Jorge Posada clutch hit in the 12th inning vs the Toronto Blue Jays.
The matchup between Roy Halladay and Chien-Ming Wang did not live up to its billing- of course. Halladay didn’t have it, and Wang (kinda) did. Wang was throwing 3 pitches very well, and appeared to be in line for the Win, but after a HR and a ball, Jorge Posada noticed Wang was in pain, and had to be taken out.
Dave Robertson and Brian Bruney were kinda bad, but Phil Hughes once again was perfect, as was Mariano Rivera. Even Phil Coke (2 scoreless) got into the act. Bret Tomko winded up winning this game.
Johnny Damon had tied it up with a 2-run HR in the 7th. Robinson Cano has been in the worst RISP slump in his career, and he blew a 3-0 count in the 12th by bunting out. Thankfully, Jorge picked him up.

dear santa, christmas is conning up this december 24th. I am a young skater from small town in new jersey. And I know you probably hear this everyday, but im your biggest fan. And I was wondering if you would consider sending me an autographed picture of poster of your 8=D for christmas. It would mean the world to me because you are my favorite skater and I look up to you man. I really hope you see this comment, and if you can't send me an autograph that's fine, I just would like to be alone
