How is ...My man Brian....good to see a post by you. How is everything with you....been to many games this year?<br><br>There is definitely a refreshing, feel-good aspect to this year's team. they have overcome constant injuries and haven't had money to throw at the problem like in year's past. Things should get even better when some guys return from injuries but I hope they take a bit of a lesson from this great start. A team of stars looks great on paper but every great team HAS to have guys who do the little things and play their roles. It's also nice to see guys battling for their jobs. When you have a lot of journeymen and young players they can be hungry because they know tomorrow isn't guaranteed.<br><br>Who would have thought this Yankee team would be 1 game behind St.Louis for the best record in Baseball? Gotta love it. I must say I enjoy watching the games more this year also.....this team finds ways to win the close ones.fishjam25http://fishjam25.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-69271049872967515312013-05-12T12:29:00.000-04:002013-05-12T12:29:00.000-04:00Brian, it's funny how everyone was killing Cas...Brian, it's funny how everyone was killing Cashman for signing Wells, Hafner, and Overbay when they were signed, but now everyone has jumped on the bandwagon. It just shows how fickle the fans are. These same fans will kill players coming off the DL if they don't produce. The pitching as always is the key to winning baseball games.dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-78027075054160631962013-05-12T12:33:41.000-04:002013-05-12T12:33:41.000-04:00Doug, I wouldn't call it a "bandwagon&quo...Doug, I wouldn't call it a "bandwagon", because I hope not too many people jumped ship when the season started. I will admit any day that I wasn't a fan of the moves Cashman made, but I still was going to root for and watch the Yankees as intently as any season.<br><br>To he honest, I enjoy watching this team win more than I did last year's. It's been a true team effort, and I know I wasn't around, but does it really remind anyone of the late 90s teams?Brian D.http://yankeesfansunite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-91274644462193703082013-05-13T15:16:58.000-04:002013-05-13T15:16:58.000-04:00doug...."Phelps, Nuno, Jospeh, and Romine hav...doug....<br>"Phelps, Nuno, Jospeh, and Romine have done well today."

Then take an aspirin and call me next spring!"<br><br>A few fans, have wanted to give some of the kids a chance, for years. Other fans say they are still 2 or three years away yet. Being a year or so older than most, I have seen a few players (Mostly hitters) hit so, so on the farm but yet, when turned loose in the big guys parks they take off as if they where the best hitters around.<br><br>Fans have said, the Yankees showed a few years ago...it is crazy to have 3 rookie pitchers in the starting line-up...they were right! Sometimes, one has to do things they dislike, when it works...it is great!oldyankee7http://oldyankee7.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-37613814495265842832013-05-13T14:11:36.000-04:002013-05-13T14:11:36.000-04:00Warren throwing 94mph today, Impressive!Warren throwing 94mph today, Impressive!dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-45878069249079833912013-05-13T13:04:53.000-04:002013-05-13T13:04:53.000-04:00fishjam, at least you had the last part right, bot...fishjam, at least you had the last part right, both Phelps and Nuno pitched great today.

We can agree or disagree with moves made by Cashman but a true fan roots for his team and every player whether he liked the move or not. Right now Cash and Girardi look like geniuses......that is the way sports are....GMs and coaches often get too much credit or blame when the team wins or loses. Players decide games but the buck stops with the leaders who must answer to ownership.<br><br>Let's hope this team continues to perform well because even though the team is in 1st on May 12th, a lot can change in 4-5 months. Thankfully, with all of the injuries they've had to endure, their top 3 starters and top 2 relievers have stayed healthy and that is the real key.fishjam25http://fishjam25.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-22984140214952830762013-05-12T14:41:49.000-04:002013-05-12T14:41:49.000-04:00Wow.

And the rest of our authors haven't written much either, me included. Although I try to get online to comment every day, it's hard to find time to write articles...I've only written 2 since the season started. I hope to be more active soon.<br><br>I haven't been to any games yet either but I also have tickets to the Cleveland series....June 5th @ 1:00. Groupon has a great deal on tickets for that entire series and this week's Seattle series....about 50% off face value!
