What A Difference A Day Makes

This morning (12:45) the Yankees had just lost their fourth straight after a great opening night (at least they were all away games). Things were not looking so hot (but 2 games they only lost by one run). The offense was pretty dormant due to a lack of timely hits and no small ball. Sure the hitters ran into bad luck, but that's part of the game. The defense was also making mistakes the team could not afford. New York could not even get the best closer in baseball into a game because they did not have a lead. The only bright spot was the starting pitching. This afternoon, the Yankees offense awoke from the dead. With 8 quick runs in the first three innings they knocked out the starter and cruised. Mussina pitched great and Rivera was brought in to pitch because he needed the work. Final score 10-1 and no errors.

Tonight the Devils, who have a 6 game winning streak going, will face their division leading Rangers. More great sports. And Yankee opening day is 2 days away :-).
