25 17 On Memorial day

On Sunday the Yanks could not come back. A good home standhas brought the Bombers to 25-17 on Memorial Day. The Yanks head to Texas and, unlike this weekend, try to win a series in the Lone Star State and try to get 10 games over for the first time all year.

The team might miss the home cooking of 87 homers at the new Stadium. So far this year are 11-10 away from the Bronx and will try to bring some of that home magic on the road.

Crazy Eights

23-17... their best record all year.

In the last few games a few blowout wins at home. In this eight game winning streak every one is hitting and the pitching has been good not great. Texiera and Cano (hitting one of three in a row on Wednesday night) are red hot. A Rod has helped Texiera batting next to him.

The problem I see is the #5 spot. A Rod who walked twice tonight might be getting pitchedaround and not seeing fast balls in the zone.

Maybe if Posada comes back he can be slotted in the #5 slot or maybe move Cano in. Matsui, who has cooled off could, be moved up in the lineup. Just an idea keep winning and it wonit mater.

A Big Win Late

The Yanks got back over .500 it seems like they have been like that all year. Friday night would have been a tough loss. In the 7th, bases loaded one out no runs in. After a Brett Gardner inside the park homer the team keeps leaving runners on base. I got down and turned to the Farah Fawcett story...but I never really turn off a Yankee game.

So Friday night if the Bombers had lost it would be real tough because they left 13 runners left on base. But a big ninth off of one of baseballs best closers lead to 5-4. Milkey Cabrea had the big hit. And maybe let's not giveup on Brett Gardner who has made the best in his time back in the line up. Just keep winning series

Yanks Can't Beat East

One of the big problems this year is that maybe 3 of the best teams in baseball are all in the AL East: Toronto Boston and Tampa. The only problem is the Yanks can't beat any of them.

After a loss to Doc Halladay, who out pitched AJ Burnett for a 5-1 win, the Yanks can't get to .500 or beat the east teams except for Bailtimore. And if that wasn't bad enough Jeter was out due to a sore muscle, Matsui left the game early, and Posda Molina and Nady Wang Marte are all on the DL.

It not only looks a lot like last year but this team looks like a team getting old at once. It could be a long year.

A Rod Back! CC Sharp! But...

The Yankees ended there losing streak with a bang: 4-0 win vs the Birds. CC was on a complete game shut out. A Rod first pitch back hit a homer and the team got its first lead in 4 games and gave the team some energy.

Maybe for one night the team looked great in one of the biggest wins of the year. But you can't forget the past week when they got sweet by Boston and Tampa at home and looked real bad.

From the starters the bullpen even Mariano to not scoring any runs to leaving too many runners on base. Most of all just looking bad. Baseball is a marathon not a sprint so lets see if the team can put on a wining streak and forget last week.

13-10

The Yankees are 13 10. It's early May and after a not so bad April the Yanks, with a couple of wins in a row against the Halos look good.

Last night the Bombers had a 4 - zip lead and gave it back as Andy Pettite gave it right back. At one point the Yanks were down by 5, came back to one and in the bottom of the 9th came back to win 10-9. That's right a big comeback win.

Jorge Posada (above, center) who had a big homer in the first is playing well and got the big hit to give the Yanks the win. The problem I see is the middle relief but that is a story for another day. Now with May starting and Boston coming into the Bronx the Yanks have to keep winning series. And the last few games were a good start.
