The Good
It may just be that with the season we've had, the small victories are magnified, but is anyone else impressed with the consistency and uninjurability of Kuroda this year? He's the only opening day starter who hasn't spent vast portions of the season on the DL, and last night he put up 7 innings of 1 run ball to give us fans the impression that the Yankees actually do care about their season. That combined with McCann's 4-4 night with a homerun and 3 RBI's, made for a Yankees win last night against the Red Sox.
The Bad
McCann has finally started hitting, but is it too little too late? It could be that if continues this hot streak, he can help propel us into the post season, but man, where was this two months ago?
The Ugly
For the rest of the season we're going to have to hear about how Girardi needs to drop Jeter in the lineup, because he's not hitting in the two spot. Jeter's certainly not hitting, but the Yankee's are not losing because of Jeter. They're losing because Teixeira, McCann and Beltran have not been able to hit with any consistency this season, so much so that Gardner has been moved to the 3 spot to make up for their deficiency. Yes Jeter's hitting .261 this season, but somehow that batting average is still in the top tier of our starting players.
McCann Can!
McCann can hit a homerun! Yay!
