The Melky Way?

So, Cabrera hits his second home run of the day/evening and the Yanks walk off happy.

So did several thousand fans.

Listening to the radio broadcast is always a different experience from TV ... I know, a mindblowing assertion.

But Sterling and Waldman did a second Daily News Fifth in the 14th inning, which I thought was pretty funny, during which time, Sterling says, "I'm getting loopy."

Then, once Melky won the game, Waldman hustled down to interview ... Nick Swisher ... because he speaks English. And he did walk 10 times in 15 games. So there's that.

While CC was pretty awful, and usually is in April, the bulllpen was stellar, even human stink-piles Phil Coke and Damaso Martee. But Jose Veras was the star, going 4, count em, 4 innings, retiring 10 in a row after walking the first batter he faced.

Don't be surprised if Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon find themselves jockeying for space on the bench while Melky, Brett Gradner and Nick Swisher get more starts in the outfield. Oddly, those three can run AND throw AND catch. Go figure.
