Sergio Mitre- Paul J. Bereswill/Associated Press

The Yankees took it to the White Sox today while their starting pitcher, Sergio Mitre, threw a one hitter into the seventh inning. Dominant right? I am just glad that the offense decided to show up to play. I wonder how AJ Burnett feels about that…

Today was the first appearance for Mitre since a relief outing eight days ago, and he was perfect until Jim Thome hit a bad-hop double past two time Gold Glove first baseman Mark Teixeira in the fifth.

Mitre has to be pleased with his performance today. Coming into today’s start, Mitre was rockin a 6.82 ERA.

Someone who was extremely upset after today’s game…Ozzie Guillen. Yep, he sure was.

“I’m embarrassed,” Guillen said. “And everybody in that room should be embarrassed. If they’re not embarrassed, they got the wrong job or they’re stealing money from baseball. I feel like I’m stealing the money from (chairman) Jerry (Reinsdorf). And that’s a shame. When you got more errors than hits, you better look yourself in the mirror and start second-guessing yourself. But I’m second-guessing myself right now, making the wrong lineup every day.

You can always count on a good quote like that from Ozzie guillen when his team is in a slump. But this one is also classic:

“I was looking at the Little League game this morning, and they were playing better than we did. It was more fun. It gets to the point where you are a veteran player and I have a lot of respect for them, and you appreciate what they do for you in the past, but this is not major league baseball, sorry.”

Thanks Ozzie for the laughs.

For the Yanks, Chad Gaudin came into relieve Mitre in the seventh, when he was forced to be taken out of the game because of a hard hit line-drive by Pierzynski that struck him in the forearm. Team doctors for the Yankees believe he will be fine and will be able to go in a day or two.
