What a great time I had with my family on Wednesday at the Yankees game. It was a splendidly beautiful day weather wise and the Yankees came through with their fifth straight win 13-9. I wasn't feeling too good after the top of the first inning and we were down 5-0. But the sign of a good team is the ability to come from behind, and we did. We scored five to tie it at the end of one.
We pulled ahead briefly 6-5 until Ichiro homered off of Pavano. Raul Ibanez put the Mariners ahead 9-6 with a mammoth shot to the uper deck in right field. The renewed Yankees hero, Tino Martinez homered for the fifth straight day and tied the game. Later Jeter hit one and Sheffield hit a two run shot to put the Yankees up 12-9. Posada added a solo shot in the eighth to close out the scoring at 13-9.
The positive is that the Yankees can win by bashing anyone. With our power we can come back from huge deficits. We are never out of a game. The negative is that Carl Pavano did not look good at all, he really got rocked, giving up nine runs in four inning, all coming on home runs. An A-Rod error in the first could have ended the inning with a double play, but alls well that ends well.
Tonight we start off the west coast swing with Oakland, and Mike Mussina going for the Yankees. The just completed homestand proved that both Oakland and Seattle are not that great of teams. The Yankees should be able to win two of three from both. They will need to win five of six to get above .500.
Well my day at the game with my brother and two sisters was just great. I hope we get to go again sometime during the rest of the season.
