You're Messing With Me, Aren't You?

11 walk off wins. 11. Come on now guys, this is silly. How clutch can this team get? How many big hits can this team get? How many big plays can this team make? Today, in a Wednesday matinee, the third game of a set against Canada's best, Robinson Cano had his turun in the walk off parade. If you want a metaphor, Robby had his shot to breakdance in the middle of the walk off party circle. And he didn't let us down.

We're so used to Robinson Cano not coming through in big situations or grounding into double plays that our nails were pretty short there in the 11th with runners on first and second and one Bomber retired. But dang it, these are the 2009 Yankees. We don't get let down. That's not our thing. That ain't how we do, if you will. Cano sent a pitch deep into right center field, banging it off the wall and winning it for the Bronx in a day where it seemed like another long, extra inning affair would be inevitable. His walk off single was the big hit that complimented the runs we scored earlier. We would not be let down today. No, sir.

And who won today? Well, it would be none other than right hander Chad Gaudin, who hurled two strong innings in his first appearance in Yankee pinstripes. How storybook is that? Sure, it ain't Mannywood, but it's a nice story anyways.

Tomorrow I'm going to show you guys all of my nicknames for a whole bunch of New York Yankees and I'm going to explain them. That's going to be a heck of a post, so don't you miss it.

Song of the Day is The Killers - Read My Mind. It's a very nice song, anybody who's familiar with the Killers knows they're not heavy in any sense. LISTEN. 

Stay positive, Yankee fans.
