Yankees 13, Pirates 6

What a difference a week makes.

We've gone from "What's wrong with A-Rod?" to two home runs and 5 RBI in a Yankee Stadium that surely (I didn't see it) was in full meltdown all afternoon.

This Was The Week That Was.

And now we have a season, with the Yankees' sights on, in order:

1. .500.

2. Detroit, and that deep, young pitching staff. This is a team that, with the Yankee first base and bullpen problems, is probably more talented than New York. So, uphill.

3. Boston. If the D-Backs hold on, the lead is nine, with the Sox heading into the most brutal stretch of their season.

Not the best of scenarios.

But at least we have a race.
