When I look at Melky Cabrera, Jabba and Phil  Hughes, it maks me smile knowing that we still got ‘em and the Red Sox got that guy who’s let up 6 runs in his first 3.1 innings in a Boston uniform.

Gagne got torched by the O’s last night for 4 runs and registering 1 out in a Red Sox meltdown while the young guns shined in Cleveland!

Hughes going 6 strong with 6 k’s, having only 1 hiccup, the homer to Barfield, Joba going 2 scorless striking out 4, (the side in the 8th) and touching 100 again on the radar gun, and Rivera 1,2,3 9th has gotta make you feel good today. How could it not? What a great way to start off the most important stretch of baseball this season!

The Yanks pull within 5 of the Sox again and with Seattle and Detroit losing, tied for the A.L. Wildcard.  Those Yanks, that a lot of people buried just before the All Star break, are right in the mix again and they aren’t going anywhere!

The young arms in the re-built Yankee farm system is such a breath of fresh air for Yankee fans everywhere. The future rotation and/or maybe closer for Yanks looks strong and to think you still got the back of the rotation control man Ian Kennedy in triple A. Brian Cashman has done a superb job by building the farm sysytem again and not getting trigger happy trading off the young arms for some humps like Adam Dunn or Dye or Teixeira. Kudos to Cashman, because of him, I haven’t had this much fun watching the Yanks since 2000!

   I agree!! It was a great win when you have 2 PITCHING prospects pitch as well as they have. We all know pithcing wins championships…and the Yankees have a nice future ahead of them… and still have 2 arms in the minors that may be just as good that they haven’t tapped into yet!!
   If the Yanks can win the division, it would be the sweetest out of them all..to come back when everyone them wrote them off as dead.
