Division leaders are usually solidly in the black; after those early season blowouts, the Yankees were way in the red.Jonmouk71noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-45277405270515765912009-05-21T14:00:50.076-04:002009-05-21T14:00:50.076-04:00Lisa,

I hope they can take the third one. And who will you be rooting for this weekend: Sox or Mets?NAMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-15993981960983148742009-05-21T11:20:11.690-04:002009-05-21T11:20:11.690-04:00Last nights game had a lot of feel good moments.

I found it interesting that on pre-game they touted Derek Jeter as being Polly<br />Tompkins favorite yankee and he seemed to fade away and be replace by a far more personable Nick Swisher. Maybe the new faces of the yankees are just what this team needs(Swisher, CC, AJ, Coke, Cervelli, Pena) to bring some life back. The old guard hasn't quite cut it the last few years. This team seems to be developing a "personality" and so far that seems to be a good thing. Finally a team showing some emotion--go yankees!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-15652716252357472912009-05-21T11:06:50.119-04:002009-05-21T11:06:50.119-04:00My sister had a ticket to last night's game throug...My sister had a ticket to last night's game through her office -- and she's never been to a big-league game. (She didn't really care, she was going to enjoy the experience more than to root for the Yankees.)<br /><br />But around noon she said she couldn't go, so she sent me an e-mail asking me if I wanted it. Unfortunately, my office's e-mail system didn't get it to me until it was too late. (Fortunately, she found another demented Yankee Fan to take it.)<br /><br />When that happened, I knew something big was going to happen in the game. I was thinking something historic, like Hughes throwing a no-hitter, or A-Rod hitting 4 home runs (*), or an unassistated triple play by Cano or something. Well, it wasn't anything like that, but three straight home runs, and Hughes pitching 5 innings with only ONE walk is pretty good.<br /><br />It's like Nuke LaLoosh said: "Woo-hoo! I love winning! I (freakin') love winning! Do you hear what I'm saying? It's like, better than losing!"<br /><br />Anybody know how the Mets are doing these days? I hear the other night, in the 11th, they went back to their 1962 roots and didn't touch a key base. And those aren't exactly the 1962-66 Dodgers with Koufax and Drysdale, either. I guess, in games managed by Joe Torre -- including those games where he WAS the Mets' manager -- the Mets usually lose.Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.com
