BANG BROTHERS!

I love the home run.  I mean, I love small ball, but we are the Bronx Bombers... we should be hitting home runs.  Today, Brian McCann, Carlos Beltran, Alfonso Soriano and Kelly Johnson all went yard.   It was a gorgeous day in the Bronx because of it!

We scored 7 runs and we looked damn good.  Combine that with a dominant Hiroki Kuroda and we can pretty much beat anyone.  Luckily for us, it was the Red Sox today.

Kuroda went 6.1 innings, allowed 6 hits and 4 runs.  He was followed by Matt Thornton, Dellin Betances, Adam Warren and Shawn Kelley. A good showing all around. Look, anytime you beat John Lackey, it's a good day... I am NO Lackey fan.

I have very happy to see our boys Yangervis Solarte and Dean Anna get hits.  Anna had a nice double. As he was standing up, he took his foot off the base and was tagged.  Clearly he was out, but after the Red Sox had it reviewed, it was decided, he was actually safe. The umps blew the call, but hey, you take those moments when you can. Anna got lucky.  Solarte on the other hand had 2 hits today.  I'm liking these 2 and love their energy. 

Overall, it was a great showing.  You have to be happen with the way this team is gelling right now.  Good work Yanks!
