The Yanks beat Texas 3-1 last night to take over 1st place in the AL East. What was most impressive is that they keep winning even though they are currently playing in actual regulation big league ballparks, as opposed to the new Yankee Stadium. Girardi said he had to credit the payroll for their 13th win in the past 16. So the Yanks keep rolling but their concern shifts to starting pitcher Andy Pettite, who had to removed from the game in the 6th with back problems. Pettite was heard saying that "he knew a guy who could help him" as he left the stadium with a roll of $20's in his hand.
So as Pettite goes down the Yanks welcomed back Jorge Posada who had 2 hits in his first game since missing the last 22. He's pretty good but he pales in comparison to (in my humble non-biased opinion) the current top NL MVP candidate Omir Santos! Santos drove in both Mets runs, the second being a walkoff hit in the 11th to drive in (in my humble non-biased opinion) the 2nd leading candidate in the NL MVP race Gary Sheffield. Mike pelfrey was strong again in earning the ND, but he did compile his 7th staright start of allowing 3 runs or less. Good stuff from the future Cy Young winner.
Other Mets news, Ramon Castro was traded last night for a guy who was meant for this big stage...Lance Broadway. Broadway should be the missing piece that will carry the Mets to a World Series Championship, even though i dont know what position he plays or who he is.
Going to the Met game today! Gotta go, will report later.
