27! and counting..

The New York Yankees are officially back, adding another world series ring to their book, with number 27. Not only was this their first ring in eight years, but it was their first season in their new home, and they took it home. Last night in the Bronx, it was extremley rowdy, and the fans were loud as ever. Starting the games were two veterans, Andy Pettitte and Pedro Martinez. Pettitte threw a gem, only allowing three runs in 6 innings. On the other hand, Martinez didn't bring his best stuff and was knocked out of the game in the third inning. A huge contributor to the Yankees success this potseason was Hideki Matsui, who hit three home runs. By series end, Matsui really pulled through and had four RBI's in game 6 alone. Fair is fair, and Matsui was handed the world series MVP award. It was funny watching him accept the award because he doesn't speak any english, so the transloator was talking into the microphone for him. Since game 1 of the Yanks season, I pretty much watched every game, and I can honeslty say that this years winner's were the best team in the league. We have a cy-young contender, two MVP contenders, and 4 possible hall of famers. This was an all around team this year, especially adding three huge pickups; Mark Texiera, CC Sabathia, and AJ Burnett. I think it's safe to say that we would not have gotten this far without their help this year. One thing i thought was very important about the end of the game was every player said that this trophy was for the 'boss' George Stenibrenner who is very sick. That shows that the Yanks weren't just doing it for themselves, but for the whole organization, which really makes them stand out. Another interesting part about the after game, was that at 2:30 in the morning, while driving home from the game, manager joe girardi stopped on the side of the highway to help a crashed car victim. To me this shows that just because you are famous, and just one a world championship, doesn't make you some kind of god, their still regular people. This really shows that the Yankees this year were unselfish, and willing to do anything, which is probably why they came out successful this year. With another one in the bag, that will be it for my posting of the Yankees this year, so once again, GO YANKS!
