We're Going Streaking!

Mood Music - (Well, not really) An Introductory Video
The Yankees are going streaking! Through the quad and into the gymnasium! An 8 game streak! Marcus Thames hitting game winning bombs? Everyone is doing it.
The Yankees were able to win their 8th straight game, overcoming some struggles and Yankee Stadium Specials given up by Ivan Nova (HAH! Barndon!) Javier Vazquez. After Javy and Dustin Moseley combined to give up 5 runs, the bullpen really locked it down, and don't anyone look now, but Kerry Wood looks like absolutely great pickup by Brain Cashman.
The Yankees will go for their second straight home sweep tomorrow with Phil Hughes taking on Brett Cecil. Come on Phil, keep the streak going!
Play Of The Game: Marcus Bein Marcus.
Also, worth noting, while it wasn't the play of the game, the difference between Jose Bautista walking to load the bases in the 7th with nobody out and his subsequent strike out and ejection really changed the game. And it was outside. Not quite at Curtis Granderson levels of a wide strike three, but it was definitely outside. The Yankees got the break and they had to take advantage of it.
Comment Of The Game: Free Bradshaw. Ivan Nova is really, really, dedicated.

Thank you offense
Ready to (maybe) see A-Rod back in the cleanup spot tomorrow. I hope he gets on a roll. A big final month and he can help seal the deal against Tampa, and keep his 30 and 100 streak alive for another year (he probably doesn’t hit 9 HR in 26 games, but you never know).
That was funny with Bautista. Two shit fits in the last two weeks against the Yankees. He can hit as many home runs as he wants. He’s still not playing in the postseason.
I hate all Boston sports teams
I doubt it would be funny if one of our guys got punched out on that pitch
While I think Bautista is a huge doucher, I agree with him flipping out. Some of these umps really need to go.
You're right
The ump was weird all day. Early on, he was calling pitches in the lower half of the zone balls. Maybe we need to get some of these dudes some glasses?

i say we give javy another chance simply for making baustita look stupid with 2 nice k's
oh yeah also cuz you can’t fault him for a bit of bad luck today (moseley fail + foul pole hr)
I agree
I give Javy another start, but once Andy comes back, I might feel better keeping Nova in the rotation over Javy.
but nova pitched today lol

I'm not sure what I'd do in that situation
I thought Javy looked better than in his past few starts, even though he really didn’t have anything.

I like that we're also burying the Red Sox as well.

Crist is going to be good
I figured just as much last year that he’d be good but he’s been excellent today. Jones is a phenomenal young WR… if only they had Tate still they would have three ridiculous threats. Oh yeah, they have a kicker that can make a field goal this year too.

He goes without saying.
When he went down last year during the MSU game.. I was so upset lol. He’s an unbelievable player. Hard to believe he’s a junior already.

Floyd is great
They haven’t gotten him the ball a lot today, though.

He's always covered very closely
Spreading the ball to guys like Rudolph and Allen and the receivers makes ND more dynamic

He’s going to be the guys opposing defense focus on, at least until the rest of the offense proves it can do damage.

I respect PSU
Are ND and PSU going to start playing each other again soon? I thought I read they were re-starting their series.
by long time listener on Sep 4, 2010 5:30 PM EDT up reply actions
Not positive
I doubt I’ll see ND in Beaver Stadium in the next four years though.

did a little internet searching
Doesn’t look like there are any plans for them to play any time soon. I must’ve have been thinking about Notre Dame-Miami – they’re going to play at Soldier Field in 2012, then home-and-home starting in 2016.

Remember back in mid August ...
… When the media was writing about how the Yankees should be worried about their age and injuries? Seems so long ago, but 8 game winning streaks will do that.
I love how Melk never got a serious answer to asking "how did we win"

Wood seems to have gotten
a second wind since joining the Yanks. He looks to be extremely motivated/happy to be playing for a contender. Sometimes, change will do you good.
