Yanks 7 Oakland 1

The rest did some good for the Yanks as they took the first game after the break.What the team did last night is kind of what they need to do in the second half to have postseason baseball in the Bronx. Cano had 3 hits Mike Mussina pitched well and bullpen looked good.

Here's a list of things the team needs to do in the second half .

* Robinson Cano needs to hit and lift the team

* Jeter and Posada to have big second halfs

* Mussina to do what he did in the first half.

* Get another starter by the trade deadline

* Get a left handed reliever by the trade deadline.

* Get a right handed coner outfield by the trade dead line.

* Johnny Damon needs to get back by next weekend when they play the Bosox.

* To not score 14 runs and one run the next day.

There are a few more things I can list but this is just to give you an idea. Brain Cashman, who got Richie Sexton for next to nothing, will have to dip into the farm system to get what the team needs most in the above paragraph.
