Damn Yankees

Well over the past two days, the baseball world has had some exciting games. First, Texas looks good! I am surprised they are beating up on Tampa because Tampa has post season experience and they had a great year.  Maybe they slowed down at the end of the season and their momentum has not carried over to the post season.  The phillies are the team to beat.  There are no words to describe Halladay's no-hitter, but congrats to him.  I am still rooting against the phillies but they look very strong.  Didn't see the giants game last night, by Lincecum is one of the best pitchers in the majors and  a 1-0 victory and 14 strikeouts is a normal outing for the young man.  Scary i know. 

Ok now on to the good stuff.  How about those Yankees!? awesome! they are basically going to stretch their pitching out as much as they can because their bullpen has been shaky throughout the year minus the three guys they are starting (CC, Pettite and Hughes).  I worry most about Hughes because he has the least experience but if he pitches well, he is one of the best pitchers in baseball i would argue.  He did have 18 wins this season and only 8 loses so is definitely an well established pitcher.  CC was supposed to win and the Yankees pulled off a great come from behind win on Wednesday night but last night really showed me some old school Yankees.  Pettite who was a big question mark because he missed a few months due to a groin injury, and he did try to come back but his injury popped back up and people though he was done for the rest of the year.  A lot of people thought if pettite was not available for the playoffs the Yankees would lose.  Well pettite is certainly back and he is very necessary.  last night he was in old and peak from, and the Yankees looked like they were back in 1996 as the under dogs beating up on a team that was expected to be better than them.  Pettite pitched 7 great innings only giving up 2 runs and basically gave the ball to Kerry wood who looked great and than Marian Rivera closed the game out as he normally does.  It was a great game.  Not to mention their batting has been doing well. 

Its been a great series so far and cant wait for more.  hopefully the Yanks win and keep this momentum going.  LETS GO!
