Cano In The Clutch

Robbie Cano goes deep late the Yankees come back and win late. This was the 12th time the team has had a walk off win.

The 1978 Yankees have done it 13 times. Hopefully like the '78 team this team will go the distance.

Yankees by a touchdown and safety

The Yanks won for the first time at Fenway this year. Very sloppy...theywere lucky the hit parade came out.

One negative was in the first when Johnny Damon got hit on the knee and could be out indefinitely. Another was that Andy Pettitte gave up 7 runs.

Some good things: we beat Boston again! Hideki Matsui (pictured above) had a big Yankee night with 2 homers and 7 RBI. Also Damaso Marte rejoined the team as the Yankees need another lefty in the pen with Phil Coke.

Marte got both batters he faced.I am sure the team will look for some more pitching help by the Aug 31 wavier deadline...stay tuned.

62 1 leading after 8.

A big part of the Yanks success this year is the back end of the bull pen.

Enter Mr Sandman. Mariano is having one of his best seasons in pinstripes. After a Wednesday night win in Oakland 3-2 over the A's Rivera got save #36. He has a outside shot a 50 saves and is in the running for Cy Young.

And how about Alfredo Aceves out of the pen at 8-1. The Yanks have a 7 game lead as they head to Fenway.

Tex for MVP

Like most Yankee fans when our team is on the west coast I hate to stay up late to watch our team lose. The last two nights I was not disappointed.

The team won big in Seattle on Thursday and last night the team won coming back on a Mark Teixeira go ahead home run. And how about this guy! He is everything and a bag of
chips. His stats 30 home runs, .280 with 86 RBIs and playing a Gold Glove first base. How about Tex for MVP?

There is a lot of baseball to be played but if it ended today this guy has to be the MVP as he is leading the Yanks to the top of the division. If Tex and the Yanks can keep this up now 30 games over .500 he should be the front runner for AL MVP.

Oh What A Night!

Dateline: the Bronx. Friday Aug 7 2007. A classic game between two classic teams. Like a 15 round fight someone had to go down. Both pitchers were beyond great. AJ Burnett 7.2 innings pitched and Josh Beckett 7 innings pitched. 4 hits for each with no runs.

A lot of other fans say the Yankee Red Sox rivalry ain't what it use to be. After last night's classic I say its better than ever. We wound up on the the good side of the street with a 2-0, 15th inning walk off win.

Some new members off this long story . Young Japanese rightly Jinichi Tazawa who gave up the big blow with two outs in the 15th to A Rod . If we lost it would of hurt. But either way it was a great game between the two teams that still hold the title of Baseball's Best Rivalry

Get Ready For The Sox

Two wins in Toronto and two Red Sox losses in Tampa give the Yanks a 2 1/2 game lead as Boston invades the Bronx for a four game series.

This is more than a big series it is a real big series. The Yanks must show some muscle and take at least three games from the Sox. This could show what the team is a about. And don't look now but Tampa is back in the race. Its going to be a three team race and Thursday its starts for real.
