This weekend's Subway Series between the Mets and Yankees was one to remember and another one to forget. Which one depends on who you ask. Queens will have one answer and the Bronx may give you a gesture instead.
The Yankees came into Toronto...Buffalo struggling. An up and down first two months of the season was in a downswing, winning only 2 of their last 9. The Bombers needed the bats to come alive. Check. They needed their starting pitching and their bullpen to come through. Check. And they need some signature wins. Check.
While I don't root for the Yankees, I do enjoy and support greatness. I very much love a clean player who hustles, cares, doesn't take steroids, and loves to play the game all the while staying out of trouble. No, I don't root for the Yankees but I do root for Derek Jeter, the anti-Alex Rodriguez and, in my opinion, the greatest shortstop in baseball history...
Spring Training games have finally begun for the New York Yankees! The Bronx Bombers enter the season with a bunch of questions to answer and some roster spots to fill.
So what are my five keys for the Yankees 2011 to be able to reach the playoffs and to a 28th World Series title?
