Once again, in the 8th inning the Yankees went back to back to first tie, then go ahead. As these games keep piling up, and as we continue to see performances like this, it's becoming clear that this truly is a special team. How often does a team, in two out of three games, hit late-inning home runs to tie and go ahead like this? Not very often, and when it does happen, it's usually done by a group destined for glory.
About those home runs: Posada's jack was a routine Yankee stadium homer. But Matsui's home run (off a side-arming lefty) to start the 8th inning, tie the game, and propel the Yankees to victory was a titanic blast. You really can't say enough about how skilled Matsui really is. He simply owns left-handed pitching. I doubt they will, but I really hope the Yankees re-sign this guy for a couple more years. He's still a devastating power hitter who can get it done in the clutch. A Yankee through and through.
