CC In Command

Around this time last year after a bunch of bad starts CC Sabathia took off and became a Yankee.

Like last year it seems to be happening again this year. After a win against the Mets and 2-1 7 hit victory in Dodger Stadium against Joe Torre and Co CC is now 9-3 and looks in command on the mound.

With AJ Burnett off this year and Vazquez not getting run support. Sabathia has to step up and be the ace like last year. And if Sabathia can take off with a strong second half if could be CY CC lets see.

Andy is Dandy

Every Yankee fan has to like Andy Pettitte. Too bad he had to go to Houston for 3 years. He won his 200th game as a Yankee and is 8-1 on the season. You know his post season record and he is taking it into the regular season this year.

So far so good as no injuries to the starters. The Yanks at 38-23 are off to their best start since 2004 and are in a good race with Tampa and the Bosox and Toronto which wont go away.

I think that is good for baseball when there are a lot of close races. Its a long summer and we are not even at the half way point. It should be good.
