WHY LOSING ISN'T AN OPTION

Dear all my Yankee friends who told me today was the end of the Yankees 2010 run,

Suck it.

Signed,

The Mighty Casey

I told you so. You gotta believe in these guys, they are a great New York Yankee Team. Granted, the hittings been a mess and the pitching is scotched taped together... no one said it would be perfect, but it's damn near close when you play like you did today.

Props to CC Monster. You are the man. I love when you're on the mound, you weren't vintage Sabathia, but I'll take it and it's nice to see. I am no fan of CJ Wilson, and beating him was damn nice.

Swish is back, hopefully for good. Back to back homeruns with Cano and somethings starting to simmer again, don't you think? A-Rod's hitting, Grandy's on fire and Kerry Wood. Damn you Kerry Wood, you have a pickoff that only a few really good pitchers have. I'm happy that you're in pinstripes. Even old man Posada had 2 hits. Again, I know his bat's there, but I worry about his catching. That conversation for another day.

So the Yankees won. It was do or die and they won. And now... Back to Texas. This is what I would do:

Hughes would pitch Friday night. Moseley is you're fall back. Reward the dude, give him another shot like you did in Game 1 when he shut down the Rangers and we won. Moseley's actually decent. If anything happens to Hughes, you know you have a long man. Use Moseley. You'll already have a day of rest for the other relievers so if worst comes to worst and say Moseley has trouble, then you have the other guys too. Hell, you could even pitch Burnett an inning on 3 days rest. Game 6 is another do or die and it's about pitching to keep the Yankees in the game against a Colby Lewis. If the Yankees hit like they did tonight, We win and move on the the Battle of Battles, Andy Pettitte verses Cliff Lee. If we lose, we go home, but we die fighting. And don't be so down on Hughes, he on a rotation now, there isn't a long time between starts, he could be damn great. We will see.

Man... you know what? I've been thinking alot about this season, We thought for sure we would see Tampa Bay in the playoffs and we worried about Tampa Bay. That never happened, and suddenly, we're in a hole against the Texas Rangers, a team everyone thought we'd probably beat like we did Minnesota. Wow, it's amazing how baseball works. You Gotta love it.
