    Interesting random 2009 Yanks facts thus far......

    -Franchise record -- 14 games going without an error
    -MLB leading 17 come from behind wins & 6 walk-offs. (id be surprised if the previous 3 yank teams had 17 come from behind wins all off 2006 thru 2008)
    -Tex has played for some high profile, hall of fame type coaches and is quoted in today's NY news saying Joe Girardi is the best manager he has ever played for...BY FAR
    -Twitter from Swisher today --- back to buisiness,..lets go take all 4. Love the attitude!

    I'm sure the previous three yankee teams have more than a combined 17 comeback wins. I'm sure of that because that stat also applies to games won 11-1 when the other team scores first and the Yankees have had a few of those.

    Also, an interesting explanation by Girardi today on his WFAN spot about using Aceves in the ninth of a blowout on Monday. He said Hughes had 10 more pitches and the fact that he got hurt in Texas two years ago weighed on his mind. He also said that he didn't want Texas to see Coke for the first time in a rout.

    I love Tex, and I love Joe, but Girardi has a long way to go before he and Mike Scioscia are on the same level. i'd say 2 best managers in baseball right now are Scioscia & Gardenhire

    Also surprising since he played for Bobby Cox as well and Cox is pretty darn good. But there is a difference in Girardi this year, doesn't seem as uptight as last year.

    I knew what you mean. This two-week stretch is very much like stretches we saw in 1998 and 1999.

    Yesterday was the 1st time any Joe Girardi team help 1st place by itself. 1 1/2 game lead. Whoohoo.

    MLB record.....18 straight games without an error. Passing 2006 Red Sox.
    Nice little underappreciated stat. I'm not surprised a Joe Girardi team achieved this!
    Let's Keep it Rollin.....

    & btw.....the play by Joba last night and the play A-Rod made on Sat (launching a bullet throw from foul ground) were 2 of the best plays I have seen in a long time.

    I don't always get to watch the games sincei live in the south, but i watched joba's start last night and i was glad to see him dial it up to 98 a few times when he wanted to.

    He still has it I guess he is trying to conserve it to last longer. I wish he could get it up to 95/96 consistantly throughout the game though.

    Breaking ball pitches were nasty yesterday, and that diving catch was great.

    You know he got the WWE belt yesterday for being the player of the game!

    Wang back in the rotation and Hughes to the bullpen. Sucks for Hughes. But better than sending him down.

    by the way, did you hear Sterling's call on the Matsui home run. After saying it was an A-Bomb by A-Rod, he corrects himself, by saying it would have been had A-Rod hit it. Then he proceeds to call Matsui the "Sayonara Kid". Which is more politically incorrect, saying a Japanese player hit an A-Bomb or calling him the "sayonara kid.."
