Keep Winning Series


After a Friday night win at Citi field the Yanks have won three in a row and are now 41-32 and 11 games over .500, their high mark of the year.

Most fans of any team thinks it is important to win series; the Yanks must try to keep winning series after losing their sets with Washington and Florida. The yanks won one in Atlanta; now with A Rod starting to hit the pitching has been good.

The Red Sox are moving towards 20 games over to keep pace with them and to remain a top of the wild card. The Yankees must keep winning series.

Two Out Of 3 Ain't Bad


Friday night was a gift. On Saturday I went to the game surrounded by Met fans in my own Stadium.


But today I got a feeling that after they hit Santana hard in the first that we could score on him today. I guess my hunch was right: final score 15-0 Yankees . I am kind of tired of the 6 game Subway Series. I think 3 is enough.


But today was big. The Phils beat Boston 11-6 and now we're back to two games out. We won a series. And maybe this is the AJ Burnett who was in Toronto last year, going 7 strong giving up 4 hits and no runs.


The Yanks now play Washington, the worst team in baseball and have to win this series and move closer toward the Sox. Today was all good. Yankees 15 Mets 0.

Playing For Second


0-8. what a joke.


I remember in the mid 70s the Yanks could not win in Fenway. Now they can't win at all.


After a 4-3 loss Thurday as CC ran out of gas the bull pen caved in. The hitting: again 2-15 with runners in scoring position. I can go on and on.


But right now it looks like a wild card on the horizon. This was the toughest loss of the year.

Comeback Kings


The Yanks are doing good after a comeback win against Tampa on Sunday.It was their 20th comeback of the year. Nothing like that last year; the Bombers are back in first!


All good teams are judged by how many games over 500 they are and at 10 games over the Yanks next step is 15 then 20. But right now the pitching and the hitting are clicking.


But there is always a but.


The Yanks, who lost an earlier series to Tampa and have not beat Boston yet have to win series against these clubs. Most Yankee fans worry about the Mets series and that is ok . But we have the Sox this week and must put up a few wins against Boston to show them this Yankee team is not the team they saw in April.
