Is There Any Way We Could Keep Playing The Twins?

Ron_Gardenhire

It wasn’t a given that the Yankees would find relief in Minnesota, but it’s happened before and I was very glad it happened again last night. What I wasn’t expecting was that Pettitte would look so off – he’s been our stopper after losing streaks for so long – and not seem to be the Andy of old. Still, he managed to hang in for awhile and pitch well enough not to let the game get away. And he did pass Whitey on the strikeouts list. Very impressive.

With Cano on fire after the trip to Baltimore and Gardner and Zoilo joining the fun, plus some nimble bat work by Ichiro, we ended up with a Janer. It made me smile.

(We haven’t seen the laughing lady in ages, so I thought I’d put her up there.)

Can we hope for two in a row? That’s exactly what I’m going to do.

 

A Christmas Present For Yankee Fans

I was reading an article in the New York Times this morning about ballplayers who guest star on TV shows, and it linked to this. What a wonderful surprise. For those who either remember the Ed Sullivan show or just get a kick out of seeing our former Yankee greats, you’ll love this as much as I did. Enjoy.

 

Let’s Hear It For The Old Timers, The New Timers and The In-Between Timers

I missed the festivities, since I don’t get YES except for the games themselves, but I did see clips on their web site and the tribute to Gene Monahan looked especially moving. And, of course, seeing the old favorites is always a treat. (Doesn’t Jeff Nelson look exactly the same as he did when he played?) Friend of the Blog John was there and sent the above pic along with this one featuring the one and only Whitey.

As for the game itself, it was another case of dropping the series opener only to come back and win the next two. Nova wasn’t as sharp this time (maybe we should have picked up Ty Wiggington for the bench!), but, thanks to the offense and to Logan, Robertson and Mo, he didn’t have to be.

If this is A-Rod hurt, I’d like to see him healthy. Is he on an RBI roll or what.

Swisher continues to show signs of life, as does Posada. And Tex is likely to have 50 homers at this rate.

What to make of Nunez? That error in the first inning was horrendous and had me cursing. But then his go-ahead RBI single was fantastic and had me cheering.

Best of all, the Yanks kept pace with the Sox and gave the big crowd at the Stadium a good time.

Just wondering….How come Mussina wasn’t there? And will Pettitte show up next year?
