The Yankees just wrapped up a series with The Royals and managed to salvage the final game.
This series was not, picture perfect. Especially when the team ops going into the series was under a hundred and only marginally improved . If it weren't for the final game of the series who knows where it would be.
The series opener was down right ugly. Philly Phranchise had no control over most of his pitches and was arguably topping out (depends on who's gun you go by) at 91 mph.
I know the conditions were wet and once it heats up His velocity will be around 94, but still , It definitely raises my eyebrows.
The bullpen was handed the ball early and Ohly didnt look that great either. Traber and the Hawk wasnt that bad though.
The main concern in that game wasnt the ineffectiveness of the Young pitching it was Jorge Posada complaining of a dead arm. At the end of the day it was nothing to prove my point Posada hit a Home run Two days later.
Another Issue the Yankees encountered was the same bugaboo the Yanks Have been having since the start of the year. They Cant Hit a lick. Arod didnt help matters by taking the sombrero by striking out 4 times.
Game two was filled with speculation of rain and a delay that never came. Bruney started and continued his 2008 dominance. Farnsworth(less) did what he does best , he blew it.
IPK ended up coming in to the game but never got comfortable and he gave up some runs.
But again all of this negativity would have been avoided if the Yankees would Hit the damn ball. Instead , the teams season slump carried on and the Yankees briefly dropped under .500
Its hard to say that only ten games in there could be a must win game, but the Yankees desperately needed a win.
Behind the very strong pitching of Andy Pettitte along with the continued dominance of Joba and Mo backed up by a sudden power surge of the Jeterless Yankees . Suddenly everything in Yankee land is back to normal.
Its no secret that Im not a fan of Melky but when he leads the charge offensively , I must keep my mouth shut.
It was good to see Arod and Posada go back to back (and belly to belly) to officially cap off a much needed win. Especially going into Fenway to start a bloody battle that wont end till October.
Round one Fight.........

I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WOULDNT BE A FAN OF MELKY HE IS A SPARK PLUG TO THIS YANKEE TEAM BOTH OFFENSE AND DEFENSE-MORE DEFENSE.
SAM IM SURPRISED YOU DIDNT TALK ABOUT THE STORY THAT BROKE IN THE POST WITH THE RED SOX JERSEY BURRIED BENEATH THE VISITORS DUGOUT OF THE NEW YANKEE STADIUM.
I DONT THINK IT WILL SERVE TO BE ANY TYPE OF A CURSE. HOWEVER JUST TO BE SURE I THINK THE YANKEES HAVE MORE THEN ENOUGHT MONEY AND FOR THE FEW HUNDRED IT WILL COST THEM TO RIP IT UPP I THINK THEY SHOULD.
Im just not high on melky. if you need me to eplain I will.
The reason I didnt talk about the story is bec it was a complete waste of time its nonsense and rubbish.
*insert random comment here*
well back to the David Ortiz comment.....on my way home from college I was listening to the FAN and a construction worker called in from Philly. He said the worker made a mistake by putting Ortiz jersey in bec as a construction worker when you get a bad customer and want to curse them you drop something of theres in a hole and bury it so by doing it to Papi instead of cursing the Yankees he cursed the Red Sox. Since that time Ortiz has been hitting .070!!!!!!!!! I dont know about you but I would have left his Jersey in there forever.
