WHY THE YANKEES ARE HUMMING RIGHT NOW

You can usually see when things start to gel for a team and right now my New York Yankees are looking good... real good.  Sometimes you almost don't like to get over confident as a fan, but the bottom line is, if a team is going to win games, you at least want them to beat a division rival.  Beating the Rays feels like Christmas morning and I don't care if it's February or October, it's a big deal.

Ivan Nova made me happy tonight.  8 innings for a starting pitcher is what you want.  Love it. He went 8, allowed 4 hits and only 1 run, he also had 5 strikeouts.  Give me that for 3/4th's of the season and I'll hug you and won't let go...not you... you!

A few nice highlights... then I'm going to rail on Alex Rodriguez... don't worry, I'll be brief.  Mark Texieira and Robinson Cano homered tonight and both Eric Chavez and Nick Swisher had doubles.

Oh and don't forget Rafael Soriano is just rolling right now, collecting yet another save and the Yanks have now won 2 in a row to the Tampa Bay Rays.   For the most part, those are our highlights tonight.  Happy days are here again.

Alex Rodriguez was 0-2 tonight with 1 walk and 1 strikeout.  Can someone please tell me what is going on in Alex Rodriguez's head right now?  Is it personal? Is he over thinking? The strikeouts are ridiculous right now. I feel like in every single game, he K's. I was curious so I looked it up. On average, he has struck out 48 times in 54 games. Obivously a few games he doesn't strike out and others there are multiple K's, but that's 48 times in 201 At Bats.  In contrast, Derek Jeter has struck out just 27 times in 227 At Bats.  For June 6th, that's a lot Alex, get your head straight...turn it around. 

Stop thinking about Kate Hudson or Cameron Diaz or your latest flame Torrie Wilson and start focussing and kick some ass on the field. We need you Alex, we need you. 

OK, I'm done ranting...

Final Score: Yankees 4 - Rays 1. The goal is the winning the series, but let's be honest, I'll take the sweep...Go Yankees!
