Funny how, only a month ago, when you watched the Yanks, you expected them to lose, and now you expect them to win. Here's some highlights of what's up with the Yanks:
1. Team is in first place, alone, for the first time since 2006.
2. Team has won 14 of last 18 games. They are a fun and loose bunch that seem to enjoy playing together and hanging out off the field.
3. Team , labeled by many as "old and slow" plays great defense and has tied an all-time major league record for consecutive games (17) without an error.
4. Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettite just broke the all-time record for pitchers that have combined to win and save games together (58). Love those guys.
5. Texiera still on fire.
6. A-Rod getting into a groove. Picked average up about 80 points this week.
7. Wang decent in last bullpen appearance.
8. CC really looking good.
9. Jorge - the fieriest player on the team - back off the DL and playing great. Our leader has returned, yet in his absence, we discovered Francisco Cervelli can play. A win-win for the Yanks.
10. Naysayers and those that dislike the Yanks have been forced to shut the f-up, or just talk about the wind at the new stadium.
And on we roll ...

Could it be? Dare I say it? I'm feelin' some ... swagger. - Mel
Mo's cutter and his high heat were pretty nasty the other night. He may have lost half a step, but he's still the best.
Fuck the wind. Fuck anybody that disses the Yanks.
Swagger?
You bet.
THere is a HUGE part of me that still knocks would and watches what he says...but there is the other part of me that is SO excited...not just about what this team has done, but what it appears we can do. Great pitching...great defense...great hitting...there is hope again!
I am cautiously optimistic. Yesterday's game really annoyed me.
Posada late in the game is a double play waiting to happen, and then the bullpen implodes....
We need to stop seeing those kind of things happen.
interesting read. I would love to follow you on twitter.
