This time it was the Yankees who did the sweeping. (Thank you, O’s.)
But, of course, it wasn’t easy – or quick. Instead, tonight was the second loooong nail biter in a row that featured a faltering starter, an offensive comeback, superb relief work, a hitting hero and a brilliant job by our one-and-only closer.
It also featured more bad umpiring (Eduardo Scissorhands looked safe at first to me, for example).
What to make of CC these days? He does seem to have his April slumps and maybe his first couple of outings are just that: April doldrums. I sure hope so.
I questioned a few of Girardi’s moves (what else is new), but they turned out okay so I’ll shut up.
Soriano finally got into a game and after a hairy situation threw absolute gas to end the inning. But the surprise was Boone Logan. I never expect him to be any good and he was tonight.
I have to give the prize to Swisher though. His homer allowed me to breathe, so here’s to him.
P.S. Friend of the Blog Peggy has surfaced following her daughter’s wedding, and she sent along some lovely photos, including this one of the bride and groom cutting their Yankee pinstriped cake. Health and happiness to them.
