And we're back

What was meant to be a few days away from the blog, turned into a superstitious fear of breaking the Yankees' winning streak.

Turns out coming short one clutch-hit had the same effect.

Either way, the Yanks are playing out of their minds and look like a team confident it will win every night. It's a breath of fresh air after watching them slog their way through the first quarter of the season.

A-Rod finally stopped playing Wiffle ball, and Mark TeiexehaiytrehkyoiyLjra is having a Tino Martinez-like emergence at first.

Hideki Matsui is a gaping hole in the Yanks offense I think can be corrected by inserted Brett Gardner in center and sliding Melky to right and Nick Swicher to left with Johnny Damon as the DH. Swisher isn't much better right now, but I'd rather take my chances with him.

Matsui looks old and disinterested.

Still ... I'm loving baseball right now.
