2000th win for Joe Torre!

Torre got his 2000th win yesterday as the Yankees won their 3rd straight game. The Yankees did not gain any ground due to the near no-no if Schilling but they did not lose ground. A-Rod continued his beastlyness with a grandslam late in yesterdays game to make the game wide open. Mariano Rivera came into get the last 5 outs and that gave the Yankees their Tic-Tac-Mo. The Yankees are starting to do well with the absence of Jeter's bat. Who would of thought. Damon and Abreu are getting very hot as well. It looks like the Yankees are becoming the Yankees we know. Torre still in my opinion did an awful job thinking Mike Myers can do a better job than Moose and who the heck knows why Torre made the move to take Moose out. But either way, the offense is producing and Clippard, Wang, and Moose all pitched 1 run games and everything is starting to come together for the N.Y. Yankees.


now about those mets.....

Torre Finally Does Something Right!

It took 2 months but Torre finally did something right. He couldn't get wins through pep talks, the use of his bullpen, or through any form of practice so Torre came up with a new idea. Bobby Abreu attempted to steal 3rd and he was thrown out. The slow motion replay showed he was safe but it wasn't anything blatant like some of the other calls against the Yankees this year. But Torre needed to fire this team up. So he immediately ran out of the dugout and started yelling in the umpires face. Good job Torre. And for the first time, that is no sarcastic. He fired the team up, they scored 9 runs in the game, and the Yankees got the victory over the rival first place team the Boston Red Sox who now are ahead of the Yankees by 12.5 games. Torre got fired up before he may potentially be literally fired. Eh. We will see what happens. It is now time for the Yankees to carry the fire from last night into the rest of the series and more importantly into the rest of the season.
