Great win!
Hello everyone,

Great win - nice work by Pronk after a couple of so-so swings on the night; nice to see him adjust to the changeup and hit it solidly to right-center field - well done!

Great work by Fausto - he was outstanding!  :-)

Jay - regarding your comment about Joba, yes, I can just imagine Yankee fans complaining about the bugs affecting Joba.

And yes, Borowski hasn't been the problem I thought he would be either - may that continue!  :-)

And, regarding the TBS broadcasts, I was watching the latter part of the game in mute - their announcers are getting on my nerves with all their pro-Yankee talk, blowing up virtually everything positive they did.  I eventually had to shut them up.  :-)

Again, great win - let's take a day off to "decompress" and come back Sunday - hopefully, we can win 3 straight!

Come on Angels - beat those Red Sox.

Go Tribe! :-)
