Have I Ever Mentioned.....

.....that El Duque is the man!?! Yep,I have, but it needs to be said again. He reminds me of his form during the 1998 season. The guy you can count on to stop the bleeding. (The Yanks did some bleeding the previous game, for sure.)

Check out what his teammates think:

"Today, with all the talk of last night, to have Duque pick us up like that, it was reminiscent of '98 when he did it in Cleveland," said manager Joe Torre. "I don't think the magnitude of this game was the same as that game. This game wasn't that big, but we still needed a lift. He picked us up."

"It seems like the bigger the situation, the bigger the forum, the more he responds," said Alex Rodriguez. "And he's animated. He puts on a show. He's fun to watch."

Trouble is, the bullpen looks tired. Gordon especially looks tired. Maybe he need some rest before it's late in the month?

Well, we got a win. Mo got another save. At least he is looking strong. And the day has started out beautifully!
