-Yanks are rolling, back in 1st place and life is good. When you can call up Sergio Mitre and get a solid performance in which he gives up 2 earned runs and gets you to the 6th inning, you know you’re hot. And yes, I know he was charged with 3 ER, but Johnny Damon was responsible for 2 of them. We all have heard of CERA, is there such a thing as LFERA?
Because of Winn-Dixie movie The Village rip
-Apparently Jack Nicholson is a Yankee fan and was wearing his colors at a Phillies game, no less. Maybe now I can finally convince Johnny Damon to play this clip from “The Shining” on the big screen when he comes to the plate at home.
-Yankee great Joe Gordon finally gets into the Hall of Fame this Sunday, along with Ricky Henderson and ‘Most feared hitter of the late 70′s’ Jim Rice. Long overdue for ‘Flash’, who was a perennial All Star and MVP candidate on some of the greatest Yankee teams in history, including the 1939 edition which is among the best teams of all time. He didn’t play long enough (11 seasons) to hit any of the magic numbers (3,000 hits/1500 RBIs) but for 9 straight years he was the best 2B in the game.
-Sorry, but Hal Steinbrenner saying the Yanks want to win
it all every year doesn’t mean Girardi’s job is in jeopardy. The
manager wears #27 on his back, I think he’s aware of the expectations around here. Must have been a slow news day.
-First it was John Henry who needs a hobby, and now apparently the Yanks have nothing better to do than this. Is it really so easy to run a MLB franchise that they have time for these things?
-Make sure to catch the Mike Mussina Yankeeography. It’s on again this Sunday @ 9:00 PM, and it’s really terrific. His collection of antique tractors alone is worth the hour of TV time. But seriously, check it out.

First Place…all by themselves.
That is all I have to say
Jack? Is that YOU?
How nice was it to watch this game and not experience a Ponson, Rasner, & Igawa redux? 5 & 2/3 with a bunch of groundballs. Not sure if Aceves could have done a better job at this point. Anyway, very satisfying, maybe Mitre can improve on this. FIRST PLACE!
