Yankees 6, Angels 5

AS for the game: just enough, boys. Just enough hitting (Granderson, et al), just enough pitching (Nova gives up five runs in 6 2/3 innings--and wins), just enough relief (Soriano gets the save with the winning run on first), just enough fielding (about three nifty plays from Jeter--among others). Not the best game of the year, just the scariest. Moving into the last day of may, the AL East: Baltimore 29 22 .569 - 14-13 15-9 230 222 +8 Lost 5 2-8 41.5 Tampa Bay 29 22 .569 - 17-10 12-12 216 206 +10 Lost 3 4-6 47.5 NY Yankees 27 23 .540 1.5 14-11 13-12 232 217 +15 Won 1 6-4 40.2 Toronto 27 24 .529 2 15-10 12-14 249 223 +26 Won 3 4-6 42.9 Boston 26 24 .520 2.5 13-13 13-11 265 243 +22 Won 3 7-3 43.1 Not only do all five teams have winning records, but all five teams are on the positive side of runs scored/runs against. Boston has been a train wreck: 2 1/2 out. Tampa, without its best player: tied for first. The Yankees, minus their two best relievers. 1 1/2 out. There are six teams in the Wild Card mix: these five, plus the Angels.

I guess we're going to have to get used to having all close games be "nail biters" without Mo.
