NFT: Good morning Yankee fans!

CC has been great, but on a night when he didn't have it, they bailed him out. That's what good teams do.

Great to see Didi back. Nice swings and great glove and arm!!

So easy to watch this crew play. Love the kids. Vets holding their own too.

Gardy is getting a little hard to watch. Looks a little lost at the plate. I'd like to see Hicks splitting a little more time with him.

though Bird has had some better contact lately. Almost hit one out last night.

and it's the game of the year.

Those highlights were something else. Judge is the resurrector, and Didi is just so much fun to watch.

This team is a contenda.

Heard wife screaming and yelling at 11-8... Figured that was it...
SURPRISE !!!
Team's got some heart, love it.

this team is not DAMN boring, we have seen too much of
that in recent years! Great comeback, and Matt Holliday,
welcome to the Yanks, you are now a Yankee!
We have see this with people like Matsui and Giambi,
a moment as a new player on the team who has now 'earned'
his Pinstripes. I was going to start a thread on the Yanks,
glad somebody beat me to it. Keep it going boys!

Tough night for pitching on BOTH sides to be honest,
two grand slams, and about 8 homers combined.
It was like batting practice out there, geez.

has a lot of great young talent. What is not to like :)

this team is. They apparently never thought they were out of it at 9-1, and look what happened. The confidence they can overcome a lousy start like CC had last night is huge

Judges home runs are the kind that lift the whole team...you can see the reaction from the bench, how excited they get. His second home run last night was unreal - 120 mph off the bat, probably never more than 30 feet off the ground.

Great energy on this team right now. And Didi looked on top of his game, nice to have him back

Basically without Sanchez and Didi and Bird doing nothing offensively. Pretty damn good. And on a night when the SP + 1 reliever are horrible, they still come back and win. Total team effort so far this year, solid mix of veterans and youth. Plus a great mgr., despite what a lot of you think of him. A LONG way to go but a very exciting start for this club.

Currently leads AL in slugging %, 2nd to Trout in OPS.

Let's go win another!

One of my favorite Yankee games in a very long time. I really like this team.

"a line drive that the shortstop jumped for and it went over the fence," and that he'd never seen that before.

Off to a terrific start. Sure, it won't last at this level, but he looks really confident at the plate. Second in the AL in BA, and that HR last night was huge and well-timed. 15 strikeouts isn't so bad.

Nothing like a good walk off celebration. Love the gatorade bath and the players all jumping around like a bunch of kids.

Seems like a team that's really coming together

as not being much of a Castro fan. But a HR off his back knee to tie the game, that's pretty damn awesome. He also strikes me as a pretty popular player among his teammates. The prospects like Torres all spoke well of him too.

Happy to see him off to a strong start. I'll certainly take it

Yanks on top 1-0 early

3 strikeouts around a Jones single

This is an odd lineup that Girardi has settled into...I'm known to criticize his lineups from time to time, but can't argue with the results right now.

I'd still move Judge up a bit, but I think he's trying to protect him and Bird a bit by hitting them lower

Of course, will change again when Sanchez returns
