Yanks

Within three games of the Sox and the Rays, the Yanks are coming around a bit. Are they built to last? Hmmm...They have some convincing to do thats for sure. The last few years have been rough for us Yankee fans. A long season of smacking the ball around the yard only to appear offensively anemic in the post season. Kenny Rogers dancing sliders past a helpless A Rod a few years back was noteworthy in its mind boggling frustration. Hasn't mattered if it was the Angels, Cleveland, Boston, Detroit - my beloved Yanks have taken a post season whuppin.

Was back at the stadium for a final go round for the early July series against the Sox. Ended up having the greatest seats of my life behind home plate for the extra inning victory on 7/6. After a valiant at bat thats Brett Gardner poking a single up to the middle in the tenth for a game winning hit, sending me and my companions into delirium. Nothing like a dirty water dog before the game, a bunch of big Bud Lights, hootin', hollerin' and bidding farewell to the House that Ruth Built.

Its Friday late afternoon on the west coast; beginning of a three game dust up with the bastard Sox. Busted a Deschutes brew and Joba has some nasty bite on his pitches. Welcome back Big Papi. We are hot on your tail!
