Yanks just completed a 10-game home stand, during which they went 9-1 and at one point won eight straight games. I refused to post anything here on the blog during the winning streak out of fear that I would be blamed by some of you for jinxing the streak. (That means you, Dad.) But now that it's over, we can celebrate a great start to the second half. Starting pitching has been good, bullpen has improved and Mo is in the zone. And, they are still a great team late in the game. No lead is safe against the 2009 Yankees. They just keep coming at you. Jeter is so clutch it's ridiculous. On to Tampa ... with an eye on Aug. 6-9 when Boston comes back to New York.

Texiera's defense has also been amazing. The guy really kills rallies and saves runs with his glove. And that double-play Jeter and Cano turned on Sunday was excellent. The outfield defense is still scary sometimes, but the infield is really solid. Have had August 6 circled on the calendar for weeks ...
They have periods where it all comes together. They have periods when it all falls apart. If they can keep it close it should be an exciting fall.
