Identity crisis

Pick a direction!

So, now the Yankees are a team that gets a clutch hit and lights out pitching. They've won three in a row, and tonight (Tuesday) took the first game in a series - after an off day - a rarity for these Yankees.

Of course they beat Scott Kazmir. Of course Derek Jeter got a clutch two-out hit two drive in he winning run(s). Of course Jeter made the play in the 7th inning to keep the Rays off the board and preserve Andy Pettitte's four-hit, eight-inning gem.

Tomorrow, who knows.

Noticed Yankees eating some marble-sized green things in the dug. I'll say they were figs until proven otherwise - anyone? - no, I thought not. It was odd the see a clump of green fruit-like objects, still in the bunch on the ledge above the bench seating. And yet Robbie Cano and Joba Chamberlain were munching away on them.

A-Rod doesn't look much fazed by his impending split. That's good, because we wouldn't have simpathy for him, if, say, he went 0-4, as he did against Kazmir and Grant Balfour and maybe Gary Glover.

"Shamwow" is the new Procede, but only by virtue of Procede dropping off the face of the YES planent. If you haven't heard of "Shamwow," you have no idea what you're missing.
