So, it was Hank, not God?

Usually an offense credits God for big hits. You see a batter point to the sky, bless himself, whatever.

The Yankees score 18 runs - after sleep walking through the last handful of games - and Hank Steinbrenner gets the credit, because he said the offense needs to get going. I see.

The Yankees could have scored 30 runs last night. Won't matter tonight. Momentum, as John Sterling says, is your starting pitcher. It's Andy Pettitte and Jon Lester. Pettitte has regained his form, and Lester has been OK for the Sox, who lead the Wild Card and still trail the first-place Rays - gasp again.

I hesitantly say advantage Yankees tonight, who undoubtedly need to sweep this series.

Let the overhype begin!
