Way To Bounce Back

Now that's what I'm talking about. Solid pitching. Solid defense. Solid production from the lineup. That's Yankee baseball.
You gotta give it up to Chase Wright. He struggled a little bit with the control early on, but maintained control, lasted 5 innings and picked up hist 1st major league win. Considering he was pitching against one of the better offense's in the league makes it even more impressive. Congratulations Chase. You're officially a Yankee. Wear those Pinstripes with pride. You earned it. Tonight, he's the King of New York.
How 'bout that second inning? The offense wasn't letting Jake Westbrook breathe. Doug Mientkiewicz, of all people, started it off by going yard. Somebody must have gone out looking for a "slumpbuster." For those not familiar with the art of the "slumpbuster," Google the term along with the name Mark Grace. You'll dig it. I swear. A-Rod continued his torrid April with another dinger and 3 RBI. Dude is in the zone! Paging Mr. Morneau. Mr. Justin Morneau. Alex Rodriguez would like his MVP back. Even though it's against the law of averages, if A-Rod can keep this up, this could be one of the single greatest seasons a player ever had offensively. Unreal. You also have to take note that Giambi chipped in with 2 hits. That average is slowly creeping up. If he gets it going, oh boy, AL pitchers are in trouble.
The bullpen: 4 perfect innings. 'Nuff said.
Tomorrow should be a toughie. I've seen Sowers pitch here in Buffalo and he's got good stuff. It should make for an interesting evening.
Peace, love and Pinstripes.
