Big Yankee Win: 11-3

by John Amato on Sep 27, 2005 3:33 AM EDT in New York Yankees News

It's big because Boston has to play a double dip tomorrow. It's always harder to sweep a double header and hopefully the day will tire them out a little more than normal. Toronto, please make them use their bullpen all day... With sugar on top.

Randy Johnson pitched six pretty easy innings and with the help of A-Rod's three rbi's and Giambi's three run blast, the Yanks took over sole possession of first place. The Yanks benefited from ten walks by a team that can't wait for the season to end. Will they sleep walk the rest of the series? The Yanks can't afford to pull a snoozer this series. A well rested Rivera and Gordon could be the difference in the series against Boston because that's our edge over them at this point. I know it's a game at a time, but all signs point to the weekend.

Cleveland has to face Tampa and that will be a rude awakening for them. Watch Lou take at least one game and if the Indians aren't careful, Gomes and Cantu will put a hurtin' on them.

kill six more

The o's are in the Yankees' way and the red sox got something the Yankees want back. They can't let up, they just got keep taking down everyone they face.

Bubba played good in the field last night, John Flaherty kept Randy in line, Sheff went back to the field to let others get in the DH spot, guys just seem ready to fill the role presented to them. Even Wright says he's okay with going to the pen.

Does Jeter ever draw a walk without two strikes on him?

And does Cano

ever not swing on 2-0 counts?

But who's counting at this point. You're right: the O's are in our way and the Sox have what we want. And we're going out there and taking back our division if it kills me, which it just might!
