Pirates-Yankees, bottom of fourth

Derek Jeter's home run remains the only hit off Gorzelanny. The shortstop just drove one to right, but Xavier Nady caught up to it on the warning track.
Here's Shelley Duncan, the guy who started the ruckus against the Rays a few weeks ago with that slide into second. Duncan was named today as the winner of the James P. Dawson Award, given to the outstanding Yankees rookie in spring training.
Entering the game, he was batting .390 with five doubles, three home runs and two RBIs.
Duncan receives an engraved Burberry watch, meaning he can never be late for a team meeting.
A-Rod singles past the outstretched glove of third baseman Jose Bautista. "$6.50, sir," I hear an usher say. I don't need to look up to know he's selling a beer.
