10/01: Yankees Win the Division!
Posted by: Patrick
Excellent. Congratulations to the Yankees, coaches, front office and organization in general. It may not have been pretty, but you've won the division. Another year in the playoffs. Thank you.
Seeing Torre and Sheff together at the end there was cool. Thought I'd do a quick overview recap. Read the full recap for more detailed info.
Randy stepped it up today with 7 and 1/3 of 5 hit, 3 earned run baseball. Gordon allowed 1 earned over 2/3 and Mo finished it out with a quick 9th. The Yankee offense did the job, scoring 8 runs on 12 hits and a walk. Every lineup spot either scored a run or drove in a run. In order: Jeter (2 for 4, 1 run, 1 RBI), A-Rod (4 for 5, 2B, HR, 2 run), Giambi (0 for 5, 1 run, 1 RBI), Sheffield (1 for 4, 1 HR, 2 RBI), Matsui (1 for 4, 1 run, 1 RBI), Cano (1 for 4, 1 RBI), Tino (1 for 4, 1 run), Bernie (1 for 4, 1 run) and Flaherty (0 for 3, 1 RBI). The pitching was good, the offense was good, the defense was good. Good game all around.
Tomorrow it'll be either Mussina or Wright against Schilling. If we beat Boston and Cleveland wins, Boston and Cleveland will play 1 game playoff for the Wild Card. If Boston wins or Cleveland loses, Boston wins the Wild Card.
