New York Support

'Twas a good day for New York baseball. As it so happens, interleague play has the Yankees at the Braves and the Mets at the Rays. Both of these teams are the mainstay of competition for first place at the moment.

So, to have the Mets give an absolute blowout of a game and bring 11 runs in, despite their outfielders having a few mishaps with tracking the ball under the Tropicana dome, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 11-2, is quite a welcome advantage for the Yankees.

Had they stayed at the score they had going into the eighth, this would have at least kept the Yanks even with Tampa for first. But, in that inning, a strong rally brought six runs in -- enough for the Yankees to win in the end over the Braves, 6-4.

It's safe to say New York baseball fans are happy tonight.

A's @ Yanks, Yanks Pound A's

I really wish I'd watched the game last night. Thanks to the wonders of the internet, I got to see the incredible nine-run inning. A three-run homer, two forced runs, and finished off by a grand slam by Teixiera. Wow.

Derek's 3000th

I know this is late, I've been neglecting this blog, I suppose. :/ But I wanted to leave a short blurb to congratulate Derek Jeter, again, on his 3000th hit. What a milestone, first Yank to do it. And he did it with a bang - a home run! That moment was amazing...

Opening Day: Yankees Win!

I can't believe I got so caught up in things that I didn't post. Opening Day was Thursday, and the Yanks were the openers for the American League (Atlanta and Washington opened for the National League; the Braves beat the Nats 2-0.) CC (Sabthia) pitched damn well, and the Yanks won their first game of the season! It was 6-3, in the end. Great start of the season for the Yanks! :)
