Good morning sunshine

Well, it was a long week and I couldn't make it past the seventh inning, finally hitting the hay disgusted and fuming over a poorly played game by the Yankees. Still fuming and assuming the division race is now officially over, I turn on the radio this morning and learn, to may amazement,

down 7-2, the Bombers came back against Boston's two best relievers, Hideki Okajima and Jonathan Paplebon. Jason Giambi started the comeback with a solo homer, Robinson Cano followed with one of his own, and Bobby Abreu delivered the key hit, a two-run double off the top of the center field wall. Alex Rodriguez drove in the game-winning run--a solid single to left against Paplebon--and Mariano Rivera earned the save in what has to qualify as one of the biggest wins of the season for the Yanks.
Four hours and 43 minutes -- two minutes shy of the record for a nine-inning game (set by the Yankees/Sox last August). I shouldn't be surprised by anything the Yankees do this year, but there's never any shortage of surprises when they play the Red Sox.

Let's go Yank-ees.
