Keep on going, Yanks!
By the way, Kuwata is a worn-out reject (still with pending millions of debts) from Japan. The only reason Kuwata could debut was because of the generosity or dreaming of his pitching coach as he once played in Japan.

Way to go, Yanks! That's six in a row, meaning the Bombers are ONLY one game under .500, now, and ONLY five and-a-half games behind the Detroit Tigers for the Wild Card lead. Yeah, there's DEFINITELY light at the end of the tunnel, now! As Johnny Nash used to sing, "I Can See Clearly, Now

Mostly it's because the Yanks swept Pittsburgh, Barry. Then again, the Red Sox padded their stats last year beating up NL teams. A win's a win, but it's still tough going.

Yes, but the Yanks took the last two series' from the Sox, one at Fenway, and one at Yankee Stadium. That's heartening. I think the Sox, and the Yanks, are going to meet in the play-offs, in October. However, this year, the Sox are going to be the division champs, and the Yanks are going to be the wild card. Hey, the Cardinals were the NL wild card, last year, and look what happened to them. They got "hot" at the right time!
