Yanks Cruise Behind Hughes

w/ 7 hypnotizing shutout innings from phenom Phil Hughes, the Yankees punched out the punchless Minnesota Twins, 6-1, to complete a 3-0 sweep and an easy win of their American League Division Series. Now only the Texas Rangers or Tampa Bay Rays and some team from the inferior "National" (wink wink) League stands in the way of the Yankees all sports-leading 28th World Championship. Go Yanks.

Pettitte Pitches Like Pettitte

The defending World Champion New York Yankees spanked the Minnesota Twins again, winning game two of their American League Division Series, 5-2, thanks to 7 great innings from Andy Pettitte, the postseason's all-time winningest pitcher (19 wins). Andy showed no sign of the injury that had him on the disabled list for 2 months recently. What a gamer. Go Yanks. More Info

Yankees Game Preempts Justice Mission

10/7 UpDate: C.C. Sabathia and Yanks Crush Twins, 6-4, More Info

Okay, so I had my blistering new "Courtesy of the Floor" speech all polished up, and I had suited up, and I had showed up at City Council tonight. But as I sat there waiting to speak for a 7th time, I found myself thinking ... what the hell am I doing here wasting my time on all these pathetic dumb-asses? Chris Casey, Bob Romancheck, Loopy Lou Hershman, Jarrett Renshaw, "W" Mike Donovan, Jeanette Eichenwald (who really needs a hairdresser, badly), Julio Guridy, Ray O'Connell (the other 3 City Council cockroaches weren't even there yet).

So when Council"man" Julio Guridy announced they were late for a "meeting upstairs" and would be back downstairs for the regular Council meeting, whenever, I decided to make like a diva and leave and not miss the first pitch of tonight's American League Division Series, Yankees vs. Twins.

Maybe the (wink wink) "upstairs meeting" is a new strategy devised by Council President (for now) Mike D'Amore and City Solicitor Jerry Snyder to lose me. Who knows. Who cares. Go Yanks.
