THE YANKEES WINNING STREAK IS ON!

So the Yankees have won 4 in a row.  Anytime a team has more than one long winning streak in a season, it's a good thing.  I smell Yankee dominance. I smell another long winning streak.  I smell championships.  I like that.

The Yankees won tonight and to be honest, they seem to be rolling now... again.  You can't help but appreciate the way this team is gelling. Small ball was a factor tonight and that's huge for a team that's built on power...especially with Brett Gardner still out, read HERE.  It was good to see.  Derek Jeter, the birthday boy was 2-5 tonight, Curtis Granderson has 2 RBIs and Chris Stewart was 2 for 3 with 2 RBIs as well.  Alex Rodriguez cranked out number 13. 
The Player of the Game has to be Phil Hughes.  He looked great tonight and looked ready to work.  He went 8 innings, gave up 6 hits and 0 runs and struck out 4.  He looked like an ace...I hope it sticks. 

The only lowlight has to be Cory Wade who looks lost out there. The Yankees rolled, had a 6 -0 shutout going and Wade couldn't close it out.  Rafael Soriano came in and saved the game and untucked the shirt.  As far as I'm concerned he can untuck his shirt anytime he wants, as long as he closes out the game and the Yanks win.
And there was plenty of chatter in reference to the DeWayne Wise alleged catch in the left field stands tonight. Hey look, he didn't catch it, but it went in our favor. Believe me, soon enough there will be a play NOT in our favor and we'll have to just remember that Wise moment and bite our lip.  That's baseball.

The highlight of the night has to come from Paul O'Neill who was in the booth and made a joke that no one picked up on.  As Alex Rodriguez caught that foul ball by the stands Paulie said "...And there's Jeter and Teixeira to root him on."  He was referring to 2 guys in the stands with Jeter and Tex shirts on.  No one in the booth said anything....Crickets....

I thought it was funny Paul...You da Man.

Great work tonight, I'm thrilled with this win and I'm thrilled with the streak.

Final: Yankees 6- Indians 4.

The finale is tomorrow afternoon...look for it.
