Pirates-Yankees, bottom of third

Wilson Betemit is batting eighth, but he looks as intimidating as any Yankees hitter in the pinstripes and high stirrups.
Wonder if Gorzelanny feels the same way; of course, he's paid not to.
Next spring, if I'm still blogging (they say you never stop), I've got to try using the laptop from the stands. That sunshine looks awfully inviting.
First baseman Doug Mientkiewicz stops a sharp grounder with his chest and beats Betemit to the base.
Nate McLouth makes a running catch of Melky Cabrera's fly to right-center, bringing up designated hitter Johnny Damon.
At 34, the likeable Damon is showing signs of slowing down. His .270 batting average in 2007 was his lowest since 2001, and his 93 runs scored marked the first time since 1997 he was below 100.
