After the fluke that was the 2008 season and accompanying World Series, the Yankees are back baby!!!! What a way to officially start the 2009 ALDS Playoffs than with the awsome performance the Yankees gave on Wednesday night against the Minessota Twins
Of course my boy Derek Jeter showed that he is "the man." Derek Jeter quickly erased Minnesota's early lead with a two-run homer in the next half-inning and Nick Swisher's run-scoring double--with the aid of shoddy throws from both left fielder Delmon Young and shortstop Orlando Cabrera--in the fourth frame gave New York the lead before the Yankees broke the game open in the fifth inning. Jeter drew a leadoff walk and came around to score on Alex Rodriguez's first postseason hit with runners in scoring position since approximately 1942. Final Score: Yankees 7, Twins 2.
Its been really rough to be a Yankees fan in the last couple of years. There seems to be a lot of hate and resentment coming from other teams and fans alike. I guess it is natural that others don't like you when you have 26 world championships.
