Its a good thing

Its always good to end an 11 game losing streak. Especially against the Yankees.

And its more than a little encouraging to have Ichiro and Snelling getting on and causing trouble and Sexson and Beltre hitting bombs. That's the offense we all expected to see at the beginning of the year.

I'm not sure what the hell Mateo was doing pitching to A-Rod in the ninth. Did Grover think there was going to be a save situation for Putz later? I sure won't miss moves like those when he's gone. Grover, of course, not Putz.

Baek pitched well also, I thought. 6 K's and only 3 walks against a scary good Yankee lineup. I would love to see him pitch well and take the 4th or 5th starter spot next year.

Mmmm....Wins.....Goood.
