Virtual Baseball: Return of the Walking Goop! Yanks Beat TB, Other Maladies.

A thrilling comeback by the virtual Yankees at the Stadium this afternoon clinched the Bombers' fifth straight winning series.

The Pinstripers had their ears pinned back all day, and were trailing, 3-0, headed into the bottom of the ninth, when they loaded the bases with one out for newly returned shortstop Gooper Gleyber Torres, whose long drive to the fence in left-center split the outfielders and cleared the bases.

Just moments later, Torres came racing home on a short sacrifice fly by Gary Sanchez, just sliding under the tag by Michael Zunino to give New York a 4-3 victory and cut the Rays' lead in the AL Virtual East to seven virtual games.

"You have to be impressed by how this team has played so far," Manager Ma Boone said afterwards. "I mean look at us: a great slugger, we haven't got.  A great pitcher, we haven't got.  Whatta we got?  We got goop.  Miles an' miles an' miles a goop."

Reports surfaced that yet another of the Yankees' walking wounded had surfaced, this time in the surf off Brighton Beach.  Jordan Montgomery is said to be ready to throw his blazing moderately warm fastball again.

"We're getting back a player a day," mused Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner.  "At this rate, we'll be over the luxury tax limit in no time."

Saturday's win--I think of it as the Sanchez Game--had the feeling of a tide-turner. I think the next couple of weeks will tell us a lot.

I dunno, but I suspect this one will go down to the wire!
