Tonight, I saw a lot from AJ Burnett, and not enough from the Yankee hitters. That is until Jorge Posada taught everyone about patience. A 11 pitch at bat that ends up being a single really turned the whole game around. Without that, does Granderson get a single? OK, lets say he does get a single and Teixeria still pops out... Does Alex hit his second home run of the game? OK, lets say he does, Now it's 3-3 going into the ninth. Another tie game and who knows the outcome but my guess is the Yankees may lose it based on their lousty track record on this road trip.
Posada made it happen tonight with that 11 pitch at bat and although Alex hit 2 home runs tonight, and the big one to win it, Posada is the star tonight. I also hope that this win starts to turn things around for the Yankees. Burnett is starting to right himself, CC pitches tomorrow seeking number 20 and perhaps, just perhaps the Yankee hitters start to be the Yankees we know and love, aggressive, dominant... and maybe even alittle patient.
