[13] Probably, but he had a helluva way of communicating his thoughts, huh?

CC is so much the man. A complete game! DANG! The bullpen had the night off. Was Cashman right about Soriano????

[7] A lot of guys are pressing it seems. What’s (or who’s) freaking these guys out ferchrissakes; they are not quite a loose bunch…

[4] Love this album. Even though I’ve got it loaded on my work computer, I haven’t listened to it in a while. About to remedy that.

One thing I and the official scorer noticed was that Posada did not hesitate rounding first. I thought single/E9 too, at first, but then when I saw the replay, I could understand the ruling. Small enough point, I guess.

[3] And yes … It should have been a single w/E-9 with the Bautista boot, but it was nice to see Posada not try to launch one into the seats and turn on an inside fastball.

The other thing revealed: how spoiled we’ve been all these years with Mariano Rivera. The Frank Franciscos of the world … yikes.

[5] Great point … You can derive a lot from the box score. Swisher only saw 8 pitches in his four AB. This is a guy who, on average, would see between 5 and 8 pitches per at-bat. A sure sign he’s pressing.

[2] Left out a character on the HTML for the accent mark over the “O” in Cano’s last name. Sorry about that.

OK… just so people can’t say I’m not fair…
Derek Jeter is having a BETTER year then Hanley Ramirez!!!

A great Win last night.
4 RBI with 2 outs and RISP!
Hope we haven’t used up our quota for the year!

We really need to get Swish back on track.
There is nothing about his periopherals to explain his current funk, other the a lot less HR/FB.
You can see him pressing at the plate. 1st pitch swinging. Swinging at anything close. He is NOT waiting for his pitch. He is an important part of our offense. When he hits, we gave a much deeper team.

One of the most gratifying moments of that game is the Posada story. Girardi gave him a chance to come through at crucial juncture and he DELIVERED.

If he hadn’t, it would not have been so bad, almost kind of expected. But fact that he delivered in a big way, could be a huge lift for his confidence and the team’s confidence and morale.

Have they turned the corner?

Thank you for leading with this nice pic of Curtis. I loved him with the Tigers and always thought to myself how good he’d look in Pinstripes. He’s as solid as they come as a person and player. He’s going to sleep well tonight. And CC The Big Fella sure shut ‘em down after a few shaky innings. Great Win. I am going to ignore the mostly shit hitting regulars.
