Stenglian?) hunch on Beltran to work out, and I could feel it slipping away in the 9th. Miller is not automatic like the Panamanian Strongman was. But he got the job done. Enough guys got the job done to get the biggest Yankee win in almost 3 years, since the 2012 division clincher. Thank you, Yankees. More of the same today and tomorrow, please.<br /><br />As for 661 home runs not being worth celebrating: There are 29 guys with at least 3,000 hits, and only 4 with at least 661 home runs. That's four human beings (however artificially enhanced two of them may have been) in 140 seasons of Major League Baseball (145, if you count the 1871-75 National Association, which not everybody does). And only two have both. If Cashman can't do THAT math, then that's another reason he needs to go.<br /><br />Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.com
