Last night Derek Jeter just got his 200th hit for the 7th time in his career -- which he followed by stealing second.
They beat the Angels 6-5 (on two two-run home runs by A-Rod and Posada, a solo dinger by Posada -- who's got a badly bruised foot from fouling off a pitch on it -- then the Lord it's not broken, because we need him in the postseason -- and a clutch sac fly in the 9th by A-Rod to drive in Brett Gardner, which broke a 5-5 tie) -- and the Red Sox lost (which reminds me all over again of how ticked off I am about the changed start time for Saturday's game) to Kansas City, of all teams (note to Brian Cashman -- can we sign Zack Greinke when he becomes a free agent?). They need to win today's game -- they need to beat the Angels so they can pick up another game on them for the best record in the league (which will decide home field advantage in the playoffs) and to pick up a game on the Red Sox to win the division.
I've got the game on the radio on the kitchen while I'm taping it in the living room. I also have the radio on for the birds -- Her Royal Highness (aka Pepper) demanded it about half an hour ago ("Mommy? Put the radio on.") -- and then the usual routine started: "Let's go Yankees! Yay! Derek Jeter! Let's go Yankees! A-Rod! Melky! Johnny Damon! Derrrrrek!"
