It was an excellent team effort by the Yankees last night against the Red Sox. Sure, the Yankees entered last night's game 10 1/2 games behind the Red Sox, a team that had absolutely no pressure whatsoever on them. It just looked like a different Yankee team out there.
For one of the first times all season, the Yankees have their top 3 starters lined up in a row. The return of Roger Clemens is on the horizon. And with last night's 6-2 win against the Red Sox, the Yankees have put together a winning streak. Yes, it's too game, but I'm a glass half full type of guy.
Last night, Johnny Damon had 3 hits and made stuff happen on the basepaths by stealing second in the first inning before Alex Rodriguez deposited a gargantuan shot into the left center stands. Bobby Abreu started to get on base again. The Yankees as a whole were more aggressive than they have at any point in the season on the basepaths. They stole bases. They took an extra base on base hits. They slid hard into bases. They played good defense. A majority of the calls didn't go the Red Sox's way. Chien-Ming Wang got out of tough jams when the Red Sox had runners in scoring position. The worst didn't end up happening.
It was nothing like the Yankees who have played the first 40+ games in a lackadaiscal and stoned fashion. And I loved it. 9 1/2 games back and hopefully the Bombers can pick up another game tonight nad tomorrow against the tobacco chewing, donkey banging Red Sox.

Its really sad that this is a different Yankee team. I guess that's what happens when you have no chemistry. Instead of building momentum after taking 2 of 3 against your arch rivals, the Skanks have gone the other direction. They got swept by the Angels and got beat by Toronto to boot. What a clear display of lack of heart. Roger isn't saving your season. You are not a championship team. Time for reality to set in, your starting pitching and relief pitching is in shambles. You are 21-28 and in last place with Tampa Bay! Which leads me to believe that is the reason you wrote the article describing your man-crush on jeter and how you were wearing the same shirt(how cute!). Keep that baseball safe you never know when some hooligans are going to break in throw a rock through the glass case and take it back to maryland. hahahaha!
