Ok before Jim G starts with him footsteps and running ill just say this, i was impressed by the Yankees sweeping cleveland, Boston took 3/4 from them last week maybe they are just not good, andyes Bostons bullpen just blew 2 straight games, however the Yanks schedule is very tough the next 2 weeks and they will lose some games im sure u thought they will win.. I am not worried, i expect this lead to be 5 games or more when they both meet in 2 weeks, if its 3 or less ill be very concerned.. Ok Jim fire away lol
Heh...nah, you did great. Baseball is not my favorite sport, but it is a great team sport. Teams are always at their best when the whole lineup contributes which the Yanks lacked in the first half. Now, with Cano, Cabrera, Matsui, and Abreau hammering the ball along with the usual from Jeter, Posada, and A-rod (Yup, I'm putting him in there; the guy has shut me up for now) the Yanks are scoring at a scary pace. Cleveland looked sick.
Down to 4.
What you are seeing now is what we should have been doing the past two years. With that line up I expect us to score 7.6 runs per game.
I think Duncan need to calm down a little with that arm banging we dont need anyone going out on IR because of it. The kid is hillarious. I love watching him
Mr Wang do your stuff tonight.

Well he didnt do his stuff and neither did Mariano but they pulled it out again, things are going their way.
Not to change gears but i wonder if Wang will go through a Derek Lowe like low point. He's basically a one pitch guy and if that sinker is up, lookout. combine that with the incredible lack of strikeouts and he's bound to struggle at times. Seeing eye hits, bloops, cant get the strikeout when needed.
He was bad last night. The ball was up and when he tried to get it down he threw in the dirt. Had a wild pitch in the first inning.
Combine that with Mariano getting dinked for a run on some of the weakest "hits" you'll ever see and I thought they were going to lose. It was only fitting they won on that silly infield hit by Jeter.
I'm really glad they won by stringing together a few hits and not just pounding a walk off homer. The whole lineup is hitting and seeing the ball really well right now.
Boston won and Seattle is still hanging tough. If it comes to the wildcard, Seattle scares me way more than Cleveland or Detroit.

Wang did his job. He had a tough first inning but settled down. Not his normal self but thats OK. He saved us early in the season.
How abut JOBO he is the man. I would have like him to take the 9th.
I kinda thought Rivera was trying to hard to impress the kid. I actually think he may be a little intimidated by him and trying to impress. He has no reason to but that my take.
Milky with the arm. Abreau over shot the mark that would have been a great way to end the game.

I have to admit that Joba impressed me alot; nasty slider. Big intimidating stature. The future closer.
Melky has been a big part of the current winning streak, has hit in 18 straight.
I thought it was funny that Posada argued a little with the ump on Abreau's throw. Looked like he was saying he stepped on the runner's leg, doesn't that count?
He did step on the runners leg. It doesnt matter though unless posada had the ball stuck to the bottom of his cleat. It wasnt a force play.
True, but that didn't really matter either because that leg touched home before Posada stepped on it.
You must have despised the way that game ended. A nubber to the shallow infield.

So the Yanks get 2 hits off a guy they should have killed, then they get killed, Gagne comes in for the sox and strikes out the side in the top of the 9th, and then tie and win the game in the bottom of the 9th, thats baseball for ya.
It wasnt fun to watch by any means. Last night was, however!
I'm sure...I'm sure your feeling better about GAGne too.
I'm not sure that's good though...you guys have the best 8-9 in baseball with Okajima and Papelbon; you didn't need GAGne. Theo did a Yankee on that one...fixing something that wasn't broken, adding to a wealth of riches.
Does GAGne have any postseason experience?
Spoken like a true Boston fan

So Mo blows it today after the yanks tie it up, the sox almost come all the way back but in the end they both lose. Sox have a tough weekend series with the Angels, Yanks the same with the Tigers.
