More Yankee Magic

So Jeff Brantley keeps saying during his Yankee telecasts that he doesn't believe in curses, but he believes in the Yankee ghosts at the stadium. His stories of being on the field in the late innings and knowing that the game was won only to have the Yankees pull out another victory are always entertaining. Last night he got to experience it again while in the booth. Sheffield saves our butts in the 9th and ARod seals it up in the 11th. The whole game was well played. One of those that you just can't walk away from. Almost felt like October. Maybe it was a preview?

And what is up with the A's and their pitching development? Where do they keep finding their prospects? If Harden is their 4th starter and he's a rookie, look out. Soon they may be the team to watch out for. (For second best, of course.)

One more thing, Olerud is very welcome in New York. I've always been a fan of his and I'm glad he's not an enemy anymore. His debut was typical John Olerud, great defense and hitting. Good to have you aboard, John.
