Playing Well

I am extremely pleased with the Yankees are playing right now, they're getting good pitching and timely hitting which are essential to any winning formula. I still think that the Yankees need to solidify the 5th spot in the rotation so that there won't be any concern during the stretch run because they don't want to have any flaws that can be exposed. After a sweep of the arch rival Red Sox and another series win it's easy to see that this team is carrying a much different attitude than the teams of the past 5 years. The youth being infused with the vets has allow the team to have fun, which was not present during the times when Giambi, Sheffield, Tony Clark, Kevin Brown, and others. There was no real defensive players because most of the team then were past their prime and had lost steps in the field. There is a younger, faster, more defensive minded team playing now and it has shown throughout the season just how the fun of playing baseball has come back to the Bronx. I know everyone was skeptical of the new stadium having no mystique behind it, but I think new memories are already being built and more are sure to come, I hope that the Yankees can keep up the good baseball on this road trip.
