Four years ago, I found from personal experience how generous the online community can be to its own in their hour of need. I am now literally begging you to be even more generous than you were to me.

NEW YORK—There were postgame smiles all around the home clubhouse at Yankee Stadium on Thursday after Cano and Jason Giambi, who haven’t had many chances to display productive smiles, delivered big hits in a 6-3 victory over the Indians that enabled the Yankees to get on their way to Detroit in an upbeat mood with an 18-18 record after a 4-5 homestand.
Outside of one bad inning, Mussina looked very good, getting first pitch strikes to nearly every batter he faced and hitting his spots religiously. Both Cano and Giambi finally did something productive. Ohlendorf looked very good in relief, Joba got revenge, and Mo is the man. All in all, a good win to put the team, yet again, back at .500.
