Of course it goes to say that after I called Kevin Brown the worst pitcher in baseball he goes out in his next start and pitches seven shutout innings. I'm not so naive to think that a simple two-game winning streak means the Yankees are already turning the season around, but there are some good signs.

The starting pitching is starting to get into a groove. Mussina has been on for a while, Johnson and Pavano have pitched well in their last couple starts, and although Kevin Brown did run into more first inning trouble today, he did look a lot more comfortable on the mound. The two rookies (Wang and Henn) were both shaky in their last starts, but I am optimistic about Chien-Ming Wang and Randy Johnson is back now so I guess Sean Henn will be sent back down if he hasn't been already.

The hitting is also improving a bit. Alex Rodriguez hit his Major League leading 11th home run today and is looking like an MVP candidate. Also, a few of the guys who haven't been hitting well at the start of the season are starting to turn it on a bit. Posada and Tino are hitting a lot better.

Now Randy Johnson will take the mound tomorrow against his former team, a struggling Mariners team that has lost seven straight. Let's hope the Yankees can take advantage of this and get something going here.
