Turn Around?
There is no doubt in my mind that last night the Yankees played well. Honestly, they have been playing well the last 3 days, earning a win in 2. Is this the turn-around that the Yanks and their fans have been craving these last 7 weeks? I think so. Alot of things went well last night, and seeing the Yanks play as aggresively as they did last night was a sight for sore eyes.
Although Chien-Ming Wang didnt have his best stuff out there last night, The Bombers found a way to earn the W. A-Rod hit a SHOT to Big Fe Country(Left Field Bleachers, Section 57. Most of the time when I buy Bleacher tickets, I end up in Section 57. Go Figure), and JG hits one to the upper deck. Tim Wakefield had NOTHING last night, as what he threw what equated to Stephanie throwing a ball to me from 20 feet out. Like I said up top, Wang-O didnt have his sinker out there last night, but the slider was a feasible secondary pitch. He got into a lot of 3 ball counts, but for the most part, kept Boston from getting the timely hit. Robbie came up and and gave Wakie a bit of "Who's Your Daddy" and took him to the gaps for a triple that just kept going and blew it wide open for the Yanks. Manny was kept in check last night, and to his credit made a very un-Manny like play. Brian Bruney came in and made Manny look simple on a fastball down the heart of the plate, something that on any other night he would have turned into a souvenir and would have made one of those ridiculous Central Park statue poses(right after a whole flock of pigeons after lunchtime. Yuck). As I hear the sweet sound of BOSTON $UCKS emanating from The South Bronx, I knew that the night would be a good one. Scott Proctor locked it up, and Farnie came in and shut the door, putting the Yanks 9.5 behind Boston, and improves the record to 20-23. Hey, I gotta take as many positives as I can from this win.
Onto tonight, as The Moose goes up against Julian Tavarez, who is turning out the best season of his career, which is saying alot for a 2-4 pitcher. Im looking for The Moose to turn it around from his last start, and for the Yankee bats to keep up with last nights performance. Unfortunately, I wont be able to watch the game the first time around, as me and the MadDogs go up against the Gotham Athletics tonight at Roberto Clemente State Park in the Boogie Down tonight. Oh well, thank God for Yankees Encore right after the post game!!!
