Yankees Take Care of Ailing Mets

by @ 10:38 am. Filed under 2007 Season

You have to hate when the Yankees win two of three over a weekend series, yet lose a game in the standings because some team didn’t show up against the Red Sox.  Still the Yankees took care of business against the Mets and now it’s off to Denver for three games against a mediocre Rockies team.

Chien-Ming Wang is starting to catch his groove.  He’s won his last four starts and six out of last seven and over those last seven starts he’s given up three runs or less in all of them.  I wasn’t a big believer in Wang and I thought he’d come back down to earth after his Cy Young caliber season last year but he impresses me more and more every time he goes out.

Alex Rodriguez of course has caught fire again.  Since June rolled around, he’s hitting an impressive .393/.500/.893 with 28 RBIs in just 16 games.  In fact June is shaping up to be a better month then A-Rod’s historic April and there’s a very outside chance that he could be at 100 RBIs by the break.  In fact, if the season ended today, his 1.111 OPS would be a career best.

Derek Jeter has put together a twelve game hitting streak and he’s right there in the mix for the batting title.  It’s hard to believe he’s never won a batting title although he has six top five finishes and he’s fifth amonst active players with a career .318 batting average. 

It’s Mike Mussina versus Josh Fogg in the opener tomorrow.  In the meantime, the Red Sox will be going up against a decent Braves team.  Hopefully we can pick up the game we lost over the weekend.  And the Yankees site just 3 1/2 back for the Wild Card so there’s always that to fall back on.
