I left town for a few days (thus depriving myself of the new friends I've made online) and returned to the Yankees within one-half game of the Wild Card, behind Seattle and Detroit.
Today's game was cut from the recent template: strong offense early, decent starting pitching, shakey middle relief (Bruny and Myers: 1 inning, 3 runs, 2 earned) before a standard ninth from the Hammer of God.
Looking ahead . . .
Detroit will be a problem. Seattle is due for a fall.
Meanwhile, what has gone right?
Matsui, Abreu, Cano. And Melky moving more or less permanently to center.
It bears repeating that the Yankees have done nothing more than precisely what they needed to against the softest part of their schedule.
