Good for the Yankees. They bounced back from an awful stretch and knocked off the AL’s best team. Pineda also bounced back, which is a relief. I was worried that he was hurt and not saying anything. But he seemed more than OK in today’s finale. A-Rod continued his hot hitting; it feels weird seeing him pass Ruth and Gehrig and, soon, Jeter on the milestones list, but he’s definitely spearheading a lot of these wins.
And now the Yanks travel to the West Coast and that feels weird too. When I lived in CA, I loved the games against the CA teams because they aired at a decent hour there. Here? Not so much. I’m not staying up to watch them now that I’m in CT – just won’t happen – but I wish them a good trip.
No worries, we can talk about the games on the left coast tomorrow.
I like afternoon games on weekdays, Jane. I get to watch the game when I get home from work and I already know its a win. Makes me happy. What doesn’t make me happy is Didi’s fielding – I really think they need to look for a new shortstop. Also, while I’ve never been a big A-Rod fan, I have to say that seeing his positive reactions to good hits is pleasant. He makes it look like he’s not just there for the money. Hope that the west coast trip is a positive one. GO YANKEES!!!
Sounds like it was a tough loss last night, Christy. I woke up and checked the game summary and groaned.
I don’t think Didi’s going anywhere, Diane. I think they gave him the job and they’re sticking with him. I don’t know what to make of A-Rod and his season. He’s the best player on the team and he’s passing milestones left and right, and he’s acting very humble and saying all the right things. I just don’t see how a guy can do a 180 the way he has.
