Yesterday was a very good day if you would consider yourself a new york Yankees fan!  We got two for the price of one!  Due to tuesdays suspended game against the Twins, the yanks were going to finish the game picking up right were they left off in the fifth inning.  Perhaps the most exciting inning of them a all was in the sixth.  During the top of the sixth inning the captain Derek Jeter it his first home run in about a month.  Thought it was a solo shot, it was more than enough to propell a Yankees victory.  The great closer Mariano Revira closed things out for a yankees 1-0 victory.  This was good for Mo considering he went nearly two weeks before he appeared in one game!  Oh but just when you thought the yankees day was done and you were to go on with your day, what another game?  Thats right the game they just finished was from yesterday, they still have to play todays game rite!  So they did.  It was a stealler matchup between two starting pitchers in Andy Pettite and the seemingly resurgent Francico Lariano.  While both pitchers pitched in the seventh inning with Pettite pitching eight the score was tied at two.  During the eighth inning with Andy pitching he allowed the first two runners to reach base.  With runners on first and third, pettite caught a line drive off of stud catcher Joe Mauer for a out.  Then he made the slugging Justin Mornou to hit into a double play with a pumped up Pettite swinging his fists in excitement.  In the top of the ninth inning the stage was set.  Nick swisher hit a absolute bomb to right field to give the yankees a one run lead.  For the second time today Mo got the save for the yankees.  As John Sterling would say, "Ballgame over.  Yankees win.. Theeeeeeee yankees win!!!!"
