As any real Yankee fan would, I tuned into Rays/Royals last night and cheered on Kansas City knowing that with a KC win, the Yanks' half game defecit would evaporate. Simultaneously, I'm sipping some MGDs for some reason watching the Padres lose a 1-0 ballgame to the Cubs thanks to Heath Bells' first loss of the year. Jon Garland had thrown 6 and a third scoreless innings. Jose Bautista also hit 2 more homers, (54) as the Jays spanked the Twins 13-2, Minnesota has lost 6 of 7.
After the Royals held on to a 3-2 win the Yanks were tied for first place in the AL East and now it all comes down to 3 games. Yanks will face Daisuke Matsuzaka tonight, who pitched well against them last Sunday giving up 2 runs, (A-Rod 2-run homer) in 8 innings. Andy likes to Pettitte goes for the Yanks tonight in a final regular season tune-up. This is the perfect situation for Pettitte. He gets a chance to redeem himself after his last rocky outing against Boston in which he allowed 7 runs. Pettitte also gets to pitch in a "playoff like" atmosphere up in hateville and gets to help the Yanks win their division in the final series of the season. Exciting baseball has officially started, and in the words of Chubbs.."HERE WE GO!"
