WHY MOMENTUM MATTERS

mo·men·tum [moh-men-tuhm]

–noun, plural -ta

1. force or speed of movement; impetus, as of a physical object or course of events.

It was a win with the feel of a World Series game and while Posada showed what a veteran can do when your backs against the wall, it all started with someone else. No one will remember Curtis Granderson tonight, but if his dramatic centerfield catch doesn't happen, who knows if Jorge hits that home run. I've always said that late inning heroics in a nail biting game brings the best out of a team, and I'm sticking with that theory. Granderson's catch lights a fire and... Posada goes Pow and Golson shows his cannon. It was uplifting to see Curtis stretched across the air. It meant something. It was a hunger not seen in the 4 game losing streak and it was enough to get anyone excited about winning.

This game was huge, for the Yankees and their fans. Winning streaks start with one game and are followed by the next. Let's hope momentum, brings the Yanks what they want.
