Are happy days here again?
With the yankees going on a winning streak. is this the start of the team getting back to the top of the AL East. I really really hope so as i can’t take another Boston win in any sport. The Lakers were good but not good enough to beat the Celtics. I want a reason to shut up beantown.
Joba played a good game shame that he couldnt hold on one more inning to get the win but the pen is holding it together. Farnsworth has been good but i still dont trust him as far as i could throw him. Veras and Ramirez have been good so they look like they could hold the pen together.
Mo Rivera has now 20 saves so far this season, so he is 4th in saves in all of the majors with K-rod at # 1 followed by George Sherrill then that closer from boston. That boston closer tired to do a Irish jig when they won the WS then at the street party. Can i say as a Celt it was no where near a jig and it was ****.
Next up for the Yankees is the Reds with Volquez on the mound its going to be an interesting game but hes up against Mike Mussina who has a carrot dangling in front of him by the yankees organisation. He might be on for another treat if he gets the next win.
Interleague is a great thing for us and we seem to have the best interleague record in the majors so lets hope it continues against the Reds, Jay Bruce, Griffey Jr and company.
So lets hope that the 7 game winning streak continues and we get over the top of Boston.
Lets go Yankees !!!!
Happy Birthday Godzilla and Thank You!!
Hideki Matsui gave the fans a birthday present on his birthday, a Grand Slam in the 6th inning of last nights game against the Oakland Athletics. That was enough for us to win the game after the defeat the other night. Andy Pettitte pitched a great game going 8 innings before handing the ball to Mariano to finish the game off nicely. During the telecast on mlb.tv the As broadcasting team said that before the game that Mo and Andy Most wins for a starter with 51 , a head of Mo and Moose but they were just behind Dennis Ekersley and Bob Welch with 57. I found that an impressive stat. I wonder if that is all time?
It was nice to see the pen getting a bit of rest last night with the great preformance of Andy. I really hope that he will take up the player option that he has got for next year. It would be good to see him on the mound in the first game at the New Yankee Stadium.
I am still sad that the stadium is going and i am ticked off that they have reduced the capacity of the new ballpark. It means its going to be even more difficult to get a ticket to a game .
Next Stop Minute Maid: Joba v Shawn Chacon.
