The Yankees RESTORED ORDER ..NORTH OF THE BORDER
by going into Toronto in 2nd Place after being swept at home by the Blue Jays,
dropping 2 of 3 to the last place Cleveland Indians, and then taking
2 of 3 to leave Canada with a 1/2 game lead ( 2 in the loss column ) !
When you consider the Yanks were being shut out 3-0 in the 8th inning
of Game 1 with David Price on the mound and the Yankee bats being
shut out by Blue Jay pitching for more than 33 consecutive innings, not to mention
a sold out deafening Rogers Centre … the Yanks showed again, they are a professional
no-quit team with an enormous amount of heart and fight !!
Carlos Beltran was the hero that night with a huge pinch hit 8th inning 3 Run HOME RUN
that might well have saved the season from spinning into a downward spiral.
The Yankees also continue to show that they live … and die by the Home Run.
They are not a situational team that manufactures runs (which in my opinion
is the way to build an Offense to compete in the post-season & to win a Championship)
**The Bronx Bombers are built with Left Handed pull hitters to take advantage of the Stadium’s short porch in Right Field.
**The Yankees have the next 10 games at home in the South Bronx where their record is 32-21 this season
**The 90 degree heat is conducive for baseballs flying out of the park !
So while the weather is, for now, in their favor …
Hopefully the forecast for the South Bronx & Yankee Line-Up is ..
HAZY , HOT , AND HOMERS !!!
As always,
GO NYY !!
