Baseball’s Savior

I’m not sure what it is with the Yankees and their ability to close out blowouts. Yeah, they won. But those four runs in the eighth inning and the solo shot by Melvin Mora in the top of the ninth sure made things interesting.

I’ll still take it though. Jorge Posada went yard twice and Mike Mussina pitched six very solid innings (he did even better then I would have expected). With the win, the Yankees are now a full game ahead of the Red Sox. Magic Number is now 10.

Three games against Toronto this weekend. A sweep and a perfect week would be nice. Boston travels to Baltimore, so it’d be nice if the Birds took out their frustrations on the Red Sox after the drubbing the Yanks gave them.

For the first time in a while, we control our own destiny. We need to take advantage of it.
