The Magic Number Is 1

Yesterday was a great day for The Yankees for many reasons. They beat the Twins twice, the Rays whipped the Red Sux (HA!) and as a result the 'magic number' for winning the division title was reduced from 4 to 1. Awesome day!

Highlights included: Matsui homers in both games, A-Rod triples in the first game and homers in the second, Jeter went 4/9 with 2 doubles and a stolen base and played awesome defense. His pick and throw from the hole in the second game had Ford (Twins LF) smiling in disbelief.

Another high point of the day was Princess Pedro getting whipped for the 4th time in a row and a transplanted Yankee helped. Tino Martinez went 3/4 in the Rays win over Pedro including a game busting 3 run homer in the 8th. Tino, we miss you! Thanks for the assist.

One more win and the Yanks have their 7th consecutive A.L. East title and 3rd straight 100 win season. Sweet! Ain't it great to be a Yankee!
