Here Come The Yankees

It was just a few days ago when the Baltimore Orioles kicked some Yankee butt in our own house. At the time, I offered up a silver lining. For those that don't remember or didn't read it, here's what I wrote:
After the Yankees get their butts handed to them, they bounce back and go on a nice run. Take a look:

• The Yanks get beat by the Indians 19-1. The Yankees then go on to win 9 of their next 10 games.
• The Yankees get beat by Toronto 13-5. The Yankees go on to win 4 in a row, and 10 of their next 12, one of which is a 19-6 loss to Tampa Bay.
• The Yankees get beat by Tampa Bay 19-6. The Yankees go on to win 6 of their next 7.

It looks like this has happened again, and it couldn't have come at a better time or against a better team. Henceforth, we will call this the "slingshot." Thanks to Levelboss for the term. We're at 5 games and counting on the recent slingshot. If you had told me before this series that the Yankees were going to sweep the Red Sox in Fenway, I would have said you were nuts. Most people were figuring that one team would win 3 games. But the best possible thing that could have happened to Yankees, happened. They swept a 5 game series against the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park. That statement deserves to be repeated. They swept a 5 game series against the Red Sox in Fenway Park. The Yankees went 7-2 this year at Fenway. The Yankees have already clinched the season series against the Sox. The Yankees went Mola Ram on the Nation. If you don't know what that means go watch "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." You couldn't have asked for a better series. Big props to Cory Lidle for stepping up his game today. Am I the only one that thinks it's funny that the Sox couldn't beat the Yankee JV team? No Damon. No Giambi. No Posada. Man that's gotta hurt. I'm reminded of a quote and I think it's quite appropriate:

More later. I'm still on cloud 9.
