Runs are good

Six and 11. Runs and hits, season highs for our heroes. More importantly, Mike Mussina was a galaxy away from the suckage I expect from him. Even Kyle Farnsworth looked like he knew what he was doing.

Timely hitting and good pitching will win you a game every time. Now on to Kansas. Or, as Bobby Abreu calls it, Gassa. I think ...

Prediction: Paul O'Neill and Bernie Williams will be the first numbers retired at the new Yankee Stadium. It's a shame someone took O'Neill's number for this season, but my gut tells me this is the last we'll see 21 and 51 in pinstripes.

Hopefully Jeter's leg isn't too bad.

Finally, John Flaherty mentioned how much the Yankees probably miss Larry Bowa. Based on Robbie Cano's less-than-stellar fielding, this may be more true than we know.
