Moose & The Middle Men
Adda' boy, Moose. Last week I had written that it appears Moose has made the commitment to matching his mental approach to his physical "stuff." I prayed he would pitch slow-slower-and-even-slower and last night he did exactly that. He has guts and guile and if he sticks to this new approach I think he'll not only be servicable but will prove to be an excellent role model to the young guns.
How about the middle of the Yanks' lineup? Back to back games of combined 6 for 11 hitting and this time piling up 5 RBI. Impressive. Some other points of interest were Cano's at bats, as well as some flashes from Damon. Both of them hit some balls dead on the screws for outs which is still promising, with Cano ultimately adding to the offensive total.
Today is the Sox home opener, so all the buzz in these parts is Red Sox Nation, ring ceremonies, etc...Hopefully the extra buzz will get them back on track, unless of course Detriot decides to start winning some games. Something's got to give here, and at the same time my Bombers are going to find out who really beat Detriot in that opening series, KC or Detriot themselves?
So Kauffman Stadium here we come, go Yanks!
I watched the Yanks on ESPN2 last night. Moose looked like his old self. Let's see if he can build on that. He's at that age where he can be one start removed from losing it all together, or else he can keep going a few more years like old timers Moyer, Wells and Maddux have been doing the past few years.

With this rotation, I think it would unfortunately take a string of starts before he gets jerked out of the top 5 again, but if he keeps this new approach I think he'll get by.
