You can look at yesterdays game and look at all of the flaws . You could say Farnsworth is just not the answer (which is the truth) You could say this team just lacks fundamentals which Cano pointed out when he couldn't drop down a simple bunt .
You could say allot of things.
But I'm saying this:
After yesterdays epic pinch hit two out mammoth walk off blast that came on an 0-2 count off the bat of Jason Giambi, I think the Yanks are taking a turn for the better. It was one of those season changing things that every mediocre team hopes and waits for.
As Yankee fans we must relish in the fact that Moose is just , for a lack of a better term "Great". If not for Mussinas Renaissance who knows how deep in the cellar we would be. I'm not sure we could expect this kind of performance throughout the rest of the season but anything close I think will be enough.
Wang will get back into form ( I hope) and I expect some sort of contribution from the Hughes and Kennedy tandem but for now that spot in the rotation is looking mighty fine thanks to Rasner.
That leaves the rest of the work load on the shoulders of Andy Pettitte and Unfairly on Joba. I say the Yanks are in pretty good shape. Even with this aside for Mo , unstable pen.
Although the offense started to percolate the minute A-rod was inserted back into the lineup we really owe allot of the credit to Johnny Damon and His resurgence. Now that Posada's back, Forget about it.
As the weather warms. Ironically so do the Yanks. Lets just hope they don't follow that pattern once October rolls along.

i was thinking for a minute about the yankee situation this year. the mets are toast, even their wins arent good anymore. Wagner is like every other closer aside for rivera. he looks unhittable at times but will blow big saves through out the season. at the end of the year he will probably have only 5 to 6 blown saves with close to 40 converted ones but the its not the 5 or 6 blown that is bad its when he blows them. The mets did win last night but i consider that a blown save that still hurts the team.
to the yanks. i hate moose and it really pains me to say that he is pitching good but he is. that being said the yankees are still a 500 hundred team. why? because wang has been terrible and pettite looks like he realy misses his HGH.
rASNER Got hit around last night but for the most part he has been great. what is the real rasner last night or the great outings he has been giving the team.
if moose and rasner keep pitching great ball and wang and pettite pick it up and pitch the way they should the yanks will end up in the play offs other wise i am not to sure.
unless joba really turns into an ace of a starting pitcher.
last thing it would help if they either cut or kill farnsworth. by doing that he wouldnt blow any more leads in the eighth. I hate heilman and i still think he is better hen farnsworth
I dont know why your hating on Wang so much...in case you missed it, acouple of nights ago he pitched 7 and a third innings of one run ball
