Today was my kind of game. The ultimate combination of every clicking on a regular basis and our stars came out shining.
First off, what can you say about Yoga's prodigy, AJ Burnett. I just picture the scene in the swamp and Luke's learning all he can from Yoda, except replace Luke with AJ and Yoda with Larry Rothschild. Hopefully, the Bronx Goblin, a great Yankees blog, is on the case with that one. Do you guys take requests?

Anyway, AJ has 2 wins, and to put it into perspective, he has more wins than the Rays (0-6) and evil Red Sox (0-6) combined. Holy crap am I happy right now. Keep that focus AJ and you'll be loved in Yankeeland once again.(photo: Getty)
Andruw Jones showed he still has something left in the tank, a power hitter that literally helped put us ahead today with a double to left field today. That was followed by RBI singles from Russell Martin and Brett Gardner off Francisco Liriano You just have to root for someone like Jones. So many teams took a pass, but Cash saw a bright spot and I trust his instincts on this one.
Brett Gardner reads Bleeding Yankee Blue. You want to know why I know? Because I like running and he stole 2 bases today and fought his way on base with a walk. The grit that this kid delivers can ultimately win ballgames for us. You keep having men on base like Brett Gardner, or a Curtis Granderson and you will always succeed...they WILL come around to score. They set the table and deliver. Trust what I'm telling you, it stems from the basics of Little League and works in the Pros as well.
The Captain's climbing back into form, isn't he, Jeter had 2 hits today and God love him, he inching closer to 3000. That place is going to erupt with happiness the day that happens. Keep going Jeet, we're all rooting for you.
Finally, What can I say, Joba Chamberlain, Rafael Soriano and Mariano Rivera... The Three Headed Monster is kicking ass and taking names and never looking back. I love to watch these guys when they're on, and man oh man, they are SO ON. Look, there's one thing I love in baseball, it's watching nice hitting and fundamentals at work. While I love great pitching, sometimes it's just not as exciting. But when I watch the Three Headed Monster, it's extremely gratifying. 3 totally different personalities in Joba, RaSo and Mo, but the same mission, get the batter out and go home. Years from now, they will be talking about these 3. It's great that in April they are focused and in sync liek they are, but if they keep going the way it' going, my God, it will be historic. Keep it up boys, the fans are giddy.
Final score today, Yankees 4-Twins 3. Boston next Ladies and Gentlemen... Phil's about to lay down the law on Yawkey Way. Let's get some bro.
