Winning is better

Not making it to the post season last year made yesterday all the more satisfying. But Emma Span had the best line:

Meanwhile, I don’t know how Paul Byrd does it – repeatedly over the last few years he’s completely baffled the Yankees’ hitters, despite the undeniable fact that he’s Paul Byrd. On a typical day Paul Byrd couldn’t baffle my labrador retriever.

But Teixeira and Rodrigues got on in the sixth with two outs and Matsui brought them home for the lead. Bruney, Coke, and Rivera never looked back, though Mo made it sweaty in the ninth.

Congratulations, guys.
