Bottoms Up
The Yankees look like they finally have something going. After Chavez hit a solo, opposite field HR in the top of the 3rd, Matsui, Clark and Cairo put together three consecutive hits to plate two runs. Jeter bunts Cairo to third (Jeter was bunting for a hit), so the Yankees have a chance to pick up another.

Mussina's giving it all back...bases loaded, no outs, top 4.
Wow, a 6 run 8th inning, and only one really hard hit ball (Sierra's double). The Yankees showed something that had been missing lately: plate discipline and working the count, rather than everyone swinging for a 5 run homer.
Hopefully this will get the offense started.
That's a good comment, Robert. I also thought they had a little luck going for them in that inning. Sierra's double was just fair. Last week it might have been just foul. Sometimes the slow rollers get through, and sometimes all the hard liners are caught.
Thanks David.
Anybody know what Joe D.'s or Ted's (or Ty Cobb's) longest hitless streaks were?
