Oh My God!! How in the world does Luis Castillo drop a pop up and lets the Yankees win the game?? The Mets find new ways to lose!! This has to be one of the greatest endings to a game ever! It will surely be shown over and over and over again for the rest of time. Good job by Alex and Tex for running out the pop up!

Chien Ming Wang was back in the rotation but didnt fare well. Is it time to panic yet with Wang? Almost....but the bigger story is that Melky Cabrera gave the Yankees ANOTHER game winning hit with his go-ahead 2-run homer in the bottom of the eighth. This guy has been amazing all year in the clutch, what else can you say?

Andy Pettitte didnt have his stuff tonight and the offense couldnt get the big hit, that was pretty much the story tonight.

Mark Teixeria getting hit twice sparked the Yankees rally in the 3rd inning against Texas and propelled a seven run inning. Not so smart of Vicente Padilla to hit Tex twice huh? Nice win for the Yanks tonight, nice to see emotion out of the Bombers.

Joba had the best start of his career as he went eight innings and made a web gem in the 5th by making a diving catch and throwing to second base to double up a runner. The win also gives the Yanks their 18th straight game without an error, that is a new ML record. Congrats to the Bombers for that.

Sabathia throws another gem and the Yanks build their first place lead over the Red Sox. Quite an impressive run by the Yanks the last few weeks. They've won 14 of their last 17 games. CC has won his last 4 starts dating back to May 8 in Balitmore. He's been a completly different pitcher since A-Rod's return. He goes 7 in his first start in Cleveland since last season's trade. You have to like watching this team play right now.

The Yankees are in first place! All by themselves. The last time that happened was October 1, 2006...971 days ago. No matter how long ago it was, they are on top right now and as a fan, I have to say it feels pretty good.

As I mentioned last week in one of my posts, things are clicking on all cylinders. They have 13 of their last 16 and are 14-5 since A-Rod's on May 8th. Jorge Posada was activated off the DL last night and returned to the starting lineup. It was the first time since June 22 of last year that A-Rod, Posada and Hideki Matsui were all in the same lineup. Things look to only be getting better for the Yanks.

It's still May so there really isn't any significance in being in first place now but it still feels good. After a dreadful April and all the injuries that have hit the Bombers so far this season the Yanks will take their cut at the top. The baseball season is about to get hot as the calendar turns to June and the temps start rising...the Yanks are already there and look to stay there.

The Yankees are having a homestand for the ages. They have 4 walk-off wins and have had some memorible moments. Who says this Yankee Stadium doesn't have any history?

We saw 3 walk-off wins in a row last weekend. When did you ever see that? A-Rod has been hitting HR's left and right. That's all he's hitting right now but we'll take it. Mark Teixeria is hitting anything and everything. Robinson Cano remembers how he hit in 2007 and so far isn't breaking stride. CC Sabathia is finally the real CC. Melky Cabrera has been money in the clutch. I mean things are clicking on all cylinders now.

What makes this homestand so great is that you can see how the Yankees are finally loosening up. Pies in the face by AJ Burnett, crazy haircuts by Nick Swisher, a WWE Title awarded to the MVP of each game by Johnny Damon. This stuff is great. Where has all this been the last few years. The relaxed Bombers are a fun team to watch. It's been a pleasure to watch. I'm glad to see the chemistry is finally coming along.

The presence of Alex Rodriguez was thought to be sort of a distraction but it hasn't. If anything he was the right man at the right time coming to a team who deseperatly needed him. He's contributing and so is everyone around him. How long is this little run of coolness going to be around the Bombers? I'd say all season but it's going to be one long summer so anything can happen. But remember...the Yankees will get healthier, Jorge Posada, Xavier Nady,and Chein Ming Wang are all expected to reclaim thier roles in the next few weeks. What happens then? Who knows, but for the time being, this is the best team to watch, beacuse if you don't, you're gonna miss something amazing.

What a week it has been for the Bronx Bombers. Here's a recap of the insane week the Yankees have had to this point so far.

Monday:
Twins 6
Yankees 7

Teixeria and A-Rod delivered first inning homers and the Yanks never looked back. They completed a 4 game sweep of Minnesota.

Tuesday:
Orioles 1
Yankees 9

A-Rod homers in his fourth straight game! CC dominates again through seven and gets his third win in as many starts. Yanks roll to their seventh straight!

Wednesday:
Orioles 4
Yankees 11

No stopping the Bombers, as they win their eigth in a row. Nick Swisher, Robinson Cano and Melky Cabrera hit three consecutive homers in the second inning. Phil Hughes struck out a career-high nine over five solid innings.

Thursday:
Orioles 4
Yankees 7

Streak hits nine as Cano hits another homer. The story of the game was the Yankees bullpen as they held down Baltimore in relief of Joba who left the game in the first after being hit by a line drive on his knee. First nine game winning streak since June of 2007.

Friday:
Phillies 7
Yankees 3

The World Champs came in and ended the winning streak via the long ball. The Phils hit four homers in the win. The Yanks did their best with three of their own, by Jeter,A-Rod and Tex but it wasn't enough to pull out number 10.

Saturday:
Philles 4
Yankees 5

A-Rod does it again! He hits another late inning homerun when the Yanks need it the most. Down 4-2 in the ninth and Alex sends a Brad Lidge pitch into the seats in right. This sets up Melky Cabrera's 3rd walk off hit this season. The Yanks are finding ways to win games, a sign of a team clicking on all the right cylinders.

Wow!! A-Rod with the walk-off HR to win the game in the 11th. He certainly does have the flare for the dramatic. It took him 1 pitch to get people talking this season as he hit the first pitch he saw this season for a 3-run HR last week in Baltimore, and now it took him just 2 home games to win a game with one swing. I love it!

Melky delivers in the clutch again! Wow, what a game. How bout Gardner's inside the park HR? If he's able to get on base more often he can do some special things. The Yanks are 1 game over .500 and ride a 3 game winning streak. Let's keep the ball rolling today.

Matsui! Go-ahead HR in the 8th to get CC another W. Another great outing by the big man, if this is a sign of things to come, the rest of the league is in serious trouble.

Pettitte stops the bleeding. Gardner hits his first career HR and the Yanks' bats woke up. A nice feel good win all around.

Sorry for no updates this weekend as I was in Baltimore with my friend Scott. I visited Camden Yards for the first time on Friday night, just in time for the return of Alex Rodriguez and boy, he did not disappoint.

The place went nuts when he was announced for his first at-bat, then seconds later on the first pitch that he sees this season, he hits a 3-run homerun. Scott and I were on our feet cheering once he was announced and never got a chance to sit down as he hit the homerun and we went crazy. It was truly a magical moment in Camden Yards, you couldn't write out any better.

Here are some pics I took from the game on Friday night....btw Kim Jones is Hott!

Many people won't admit to this but at this point every Yankee fan will be counting their blessings tonight as Alex Rodriguez returns to the lineup. It will mark the first time we see Alex in offical baseball action since his admitted use of PED back in Feburary.

Tonight is the return of A-Rod to the Yanks and that's just what the doctor ordered (sorry, bad choice of words...Manny Ramirez "followed" doctor's ordered and tested positive for steroids but that's another issue in of itself.) The Yanks are hurting in just about every which way. The starting pitching is spotty at best, the bullpen is imploding in front of our eyes (even Mariano!), the offense can't get the clutch hit they need so he's coming back to a mess. If there was ever a time for Alex to get everyone on his side, it's now.

Time to carry the troops on his back and time to prove everyone wrong. With so many injuries and inconsistencies the Yanks just need Alex in the lineup. His presence will make an impact, it should make everyone around him better, especially Mark Teixeira. This is the time Alex to be the Yankees savior...please come back and help this team right the ship, it's time for Alex Rodriguez to live up to expectations and restore his legacy...there is no better time than now..the Yankees need Alex Rodriguez.

This loss has to be the worst of them all. Mo gives up back to back homeruns, there's gotta be something wrong with that shoulder. If there is, the Yanks are in SERIOUS trouble. Losing streak hits 5.

This is getting really fustrating. We are finding new ways to lose. I thought for sure when Tex got the double to tie the game, that we were gonna win this one. The losing skid hits 4.

Joba was awful in the first but was masterful the rest of the way. But for goodness sake, can we please get some positive consistentcy from the Bombers?

The Sox got to Hughes early as he was unable to match his previous start in Detriot. At least Tex homered twice. The Yanks have now dropped 4 straight to the Sox this year.
