kevin youkilis 3-5, two jacks, big papi in the fifth. his 20th of the year.on with at least 20 homers, burnett gave up a career high nine runs in five innings. you see him saying, "why? why? why do you throw that?" junichi tazawa six scoreless innings for the win -- tazawa was the pitcher who gave up the walk-off homer to a-rod in the 15-inning game a few weeks ago, his big-league debut. as for burnett, maybe something going on with him and posada. he's got a 4.93 e.r.a. with posada as the starting catcher, 3.27 with every other catcher on the yankees. >> we throw the ball. we throw what we want to throw, so he's there -- it's definitely not him, i had a good hook today and i feel like i should have used it more. >> they were on the curveball so wanted to throw a couple more pitches so they can get away from the curveball. >> it's a matter of me throwing what i want to throw. you don't throw a pitch unless you're 100% behind it. >> we really didn't get on the same page so autojust a matter of executing and the location really killed us. >> burnett a career-hi

and it seems like some of the at-bats you shift youkilis over to third base.ture going forward. a very affordable contract. 7.5 million for next year. if they decide they want to turn the page on jason varitek, they now have a legitimate option that they were searching for all last winter. >> and thehehe a little bit of room for martinez at first. they send adam laroche to atlanta. they get in casey kotchman. >> laroche is going to help the braves. >> going to talk to mike lowell, maybe david ortiz, and now your manager comes in. and guess what, victor martinez is going to play. >> is that what you on do? you call to say the dynamic has changed? how does that work. >> i don't think anybody does it as well as terry francona? but you take each case. start with authority, and the respect he has for the veteran players of the there's going to be enough bats for everybody. and the thing you saw at the end of the day we're going to have a better chance to win a world championship with victor martinez. and the guys that don't say i'm in, probably aren't going to be t

kevin youkilis hid the two-run homer, and the red sox get the win 6-5. >>> in golf, tiger woods just four strokes back after shooting his best round of the year. nine 9 under par at the buick open. i'm lindsay czarniak. that's your "sports in a minute." >> did you know you can now get local coffee? well, it's obviously not grown here but it is roasted here. wendy rieger introduces us to a local woman who start add coffee company right in her own backyard. >> reporter: if you never thought a coffee bean could be sensual, you have never seen smoking beans undulating in a cooling pad fresh from a roaster. that will wake you up. >> my first fresh cup of coffee was emotional. >> reporter: she's the owner of local yore gajic fair trade coffee and is starting to appear on your grocer's shelves. >> we are presently in three whole foods locations and we're really excited because in september we'll be in 191 giant stores in d.c., virginia, and delaware. >> reporter: when the economy went south she had to come up with something creative. >> this is a display of the type of coffees that we have

[laughter] when the next saw ted ambling down the senate corridor, youkilis -- he was filled with laughter i can say. we disagree on most issues, but i admired his passion for his convictions, his patience with the hard and sometimes dull work of legislating, and his uncanny sense for when differences could be bridged and the calls advanced by degrees. he was a fierce advocate, and no senator would oppose him in debate without at least a bit of trepidation, often more than a little. we all listen to him, of course. he was hard to ignore. when we agreed on an issue and work together to make a little progress on an important issue, he was the best ally you could have. you never even had a small doubt that once his word was given and a course of action decided, he would honor the letter and spirit of the agreement. when we work together on the immigration initial -- the immigration issue, we had a meeting with other senators. we would need for a few minutes and dance -- we would meet for a few minutes in advance and decide which members of our respective caucus needed a special encouragement

payback from the tigers on kevin youkilis.helmet at porcello, takes him to the ground. a big pile-on. not a lot of punches thrown. the dugouts emptied. the bull pens emptied. the man who came in to replace him, mike lowell, hit two home runs. a good fight and a good replacement. the two-run shot over the monster. the red sox win 7-5. they hope to pick up a game on the yankees. to the bronx and see if they did. yankees down 4-3 to toronto until matsui led off with a long shot to right field tying the game at 4-4. then the very next batter, jorge posada, he goes the other way. takes one out to right. yankees go back-to-back to win the game 7-5, winning 8 out of 9 games and remain 5 1/2 games up on the red sox. to the team some say is the best team in the national league, the phillies. visiting the cubs at wrigley last night, top of the 12th, the leadoff homer good enough to give the phillies a win over the cubs in 12 innings. they take a 3 1/2 lead over the marlins. cubs now three back of the cardinals. this is a shocking story
