That Was A Big Yankee Win

Last night, it looked as if we were facing a combinaion of Ryne Duran and the Big Unit, on steroids and before the invention of glasses.  I couldn't watch a lot of the Yankee at bats, out of fear for their lives.

Seriously, that Tampa pitcher should be require to have a license.  He is walking around with a dangerous weapon.  His arm with a baseball in it.

I thought we were largely gifted two runs in the first inning.  No one had scored 2 runs on this dude all season.  He was 6-0 with an ERA of 1.47.  I think.

Anyway, the Yankees were able not only to score early, but they came back from a huge German "blip," when he gave up 2 HRs in one inning, to paint the Yankees into a corner, down 3-2.  But a combination of players, including GIO's clutch single gave us the lead which we never yielded.

We didn't yield it when, with "O" in relief, he loaded the bases with no outs and a 3-2 count on a tough hitter.  How did Tampa not score? 

Poise and defense.

I couldn't believe it when we survived ( physically ) and held on to win.

In my mind, we "stole " a game already.

That pitcher should be banned.

Or made a Yankee.
